E-160 S MX
Whyte
Enduro
E-160 S MX is an alloy electric enduro mountain bike (2023), from Whyte. This bike is aimed at riders looking for a balanced off-road setup, with a balanced riding position, and is aimed at more technical trails and rougher terrain. Its profile is strongest in areas like a balanced ride feel between comfort and directness, capable suspension support for rougher terrain, and balanced, versatile speed for everyday riding. At the same time, the main limitation versus more focused builds is a value score that depends more on priorities than pure price efficiency.
