Whyte E-160 S Review

Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. Steep ramps are no problem for the Bosch motor. Additionally, the Bosch Performance Line CX stands out with a very well-rounded riding feeling and a dynamic power delivery. The well-tuned riding modes cater to bikers of all preferences. Thanks to the very good range, you should no longer have any range problems even on very long tours.

Rough descents take away some of the fear thanks to the average chassis. The low-grade chassis transfers shocks relatively clearly to the biker. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. At the brakes, Whyte instals upper class brakes with four pistons and large brake rotors from SRAM. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Whyte uses average parts. The head tube angle falls very flat with °. The bottom bracket is also very low. The geometry thus clearly drifts into the extreme. Experienced full-throttle shredders will find this geo the stuff of happiness. Less experienced riders might be better off with a more moderate geometry.
