Bulky tubing, maximum riding pleasure? The E-160 RSX with #federweg front travel is definitely ready to shred the full load of singletrack.
Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. With torque under the motor cover, the support is generous. Nobody needs to fear steep hills anymore. Furthermore, the power of the motor control is regulated so that the start always feels dynamic,. Thanks to the very good range, you should no longer have any range problems even on very long tours.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Whyte E-160 RSX in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (11000) .

The high-quality Fox chassis also takes away the fear of rough root sections. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. When it comes to the brakes, Whyte reaches for the top shelf and instals premium brakes with four pistons and large brake rotors from SRAM. A nice touch: The gear and components are on a very good level. With the °_angle head tube angle and the super low bottom bracket, Whyte redefines the boundaries of modern geometry. Most manufacturers don't dare to venture into such extreme terrain when it comes to geometry. With weight, the E-160 RSX is generally one of the heavier e-bikes on the market.

Conclusion


Expirience with the Whyte E-160 RSX

We believe that every bike on the market has its justification. However, when it comes to the E-160 RSX, our assessment of its geometry, equipment, and frame is rather disappointing. In the price range über 10000€, there are bikes that appeal to us more. Perhaps the aesthetics or image can still convince you.
