Origin
The E-180 Works is Whyte's most capable e-bike — built for riders who want full enduro gravity performance from an electric mountain bike. The Bosch CX Race motor is the performance-oriented variant of the CX line, the ZEB Ultimate fork is RockShox's flagship 180mm trail/enduro option, and SRAM XX AXS T-Type represents the top of SRAM's e-bike-specific drivetrain. The mixed MX wheel configuration (29" front / 27.5" rear) centralises mass and improves cornering dynamics on steep terrain.
