The new Whyte Karve is a 160mm full-power eMTB built for fast, aggressive trail and enduro riding, while retaining the balanced, responsive handling Whyte is known for.
At its heart is the Avinox M2S drive system, delivering up to 150Nm of torque and 1,300W peak power, paired with a substantial 800Wh battery.
Both models feature 160mm front and rear travel, Whyte’s Quad-Link 4 suspension and size-specific geometry. They’re full 29er as standard but MX-ready, while the Shape.It Link lets you adjust the geometry between high and low settings to suit the terrain.
Powerful, capable and surprisingly agile, the Karve is built for big climbs and even bigger descents.

The Karve RS delivers the core Karve experience at the more accessible price point, with the same Avinox M2S motor, 800Wh battery and 160mm travel.
It pairs a carbon mainframe and alloy rear triangle with RockShox Lyrik Select and Super Deluxe Select suspension, SRAM Eagle 90 mechanical shifting and powerful four-piston SRAM Maven brakes.
For riders who want the performance of the Karve platform without needing the highest-spec components, the RS makes a lot of sense.
The Karve RSX takes the same platform and gives it a significant component upgrade.
You get a full-carbon frame, premium Fox Factory suspension, SRAM AXS wireless shifting, SRAM Maven Silver brakes and DT Swiss Hybrid wheels.
The RSX also includes a 12A fast charger, dramatically reducing charging time, and weighs a claimed 22.9kg in size Large.
If you’re looking for the lighter, higher-spec version of the Karve with premium components throughout, this is it.
