Whyte E-180 RSX
Go bigger, go faster – then go again
Crush Any Descent
Whyte's E-180 RSX is the chaos-crushing, downhill-dominating, climb-shrinking super electric mountain bike (e-MTB) for self-shuttled gravity riding, bike park play, and big mountain terrain. Engineered with our innovative low centre of gravity (CoG) design, it ‘plays and slays’ on the tightest, steepest tracks but still has your back when you’re flat out through boulder fields with handling that’s agile and alive for maximum fun, hour after hour, and run after run. If having the best time dropping in on the biggest terrain is why you ride, the E-180 RSX is ready.
Whyte E-180 RSX 2025 Key Features
– Optimised low centre of gravity gives you untouchable gravity handling.
– 180mm front + 170mm rear of trail-dominating suspension travel.
– Multi-butted 6061 T-6 aluminium hydroformed frame is built to last.
– Bosch Performance CX 85Nm motor (600W peak power) for class-leading performance and reliability.
– 750Wh battery gives you the range to get more runs in between charges.
– MX wheels (29er front, 27.5in rear) so you can tackle everything full-gas – no matter how rowdy or steep.
Built for enduro, designed for confidence.
This bike is intended for all-mountain and enduro use over rough terrain, where loss of contact between the wheels and surface is common. It's designed with our holistic Whyte Total Geometry approach to deliver you the most extraordinary confidence-inspiring ride, every ride.
Engineered so you can commit
The E-180 RSX's frameset maximises the advantage of our unique tilted motor and super low-slung battery arrangement, which brings the bike’s centre of gravity as low as possible, to deliver you ultra-stable, dynamically centred and confident handling at any speed and on any terrain while short 155mm cranks deliver maximum pedal control and ground clearance.
Switchable Geometry & Smartly Connected
Our Shape.It link ‘flip-chip’ allows you to change the geometry of the bike easily and quickly without affecting the suspension kinematics by raising or lowering the Bottom Bracket (BB) height. By using the shock extender and effectively moving the eye-to-eye length of the shock, the BB can be lifted or lowered – and all without affecting the suspension kinematics. Switch it between high and low positions to slacken the bike out by 0.6 degrees and lower the BB by 8mm so you can tailor the geometry to the terrain you're tackling.
With the Bosch Smart System – which links up the E-180 RSX’s bar-mounted LED Remote, battery and motor via the companion 'eBike Flow' app – you can have even more information at your fingertips to manage, tailor and personalise your bike just how you want: tune the motor support levels; keep track of your bike’s performance and battery consumption; keep your software up to date. And much, much more.
