I’d end up putting a 38 on the lighter bike anyway. Shame you cant spec the evo RSX with the carbon rear triangle.

According to various websites & geo geeks it’s all quite similar components on the 2 top end bikes

Must be more than rear triangle, shock & fork that’s different I’d imagine. We’re talking 3kg a difference between bikes, unless the original 23.9 weight of the Karve RSX was misrepresented.

A uni‑directional carbon mainframe means the bike’s main frame is built primarily from carbon fibres all laid in one direction, rather than woven. This gives higher stiffness and strength in the load‑bearing directions and is the modern standard forhigh‑performance frames. That’s from...

Some mention of the Karve on the latest EMBN video. With a suggestion Neil will have a hold of the Karve RSX this week. Gonna be interesting to hear what he has to say. But, obviously these reviews come with a grain of salt. Rob, any indication of when you’re getting the bike or is it all...

Nice one! In this case I’m glad I’ve stuck with the EVO RSX. Plenty of scope for changing things later if required. Now the long wait till August 😂

I’m sure that’s a response to the 160/160 models, what we’re after is a comparison of the 160/160 & 180/180 frames. I could be wrong

Is it a lighter mainframe? From the limited info I can find the main differences are fork, shock & rear triangle?

Do you think Whyte will offer a carbon rear triangle for the evo RSX at a later date to bring the weight down slightly? And realistically, would we even notice any difference?

phoned the shop for an update on my medium Karve RSX. September delivery date for mine. I’m in Scotland

I’m a medium in the evo, but between sizes on this model. Medium would be too big and small too small. Think I might need to stay with the evo rsx.

I’ve got my name down for the first wave of karves, I’ve waiting on this new bike to compare them. I’m still leaning towards the 180/180 for the value for money & component's. Although, the 160 model looks nicer with the black & gold colouring & 3-4 kg lighter, allegedly. Which bike do you...

Strange that it’s £500 more but has a 160 36 fork compared to the 180 lyric ultimate. Where is that extra money going, into the carbon rear triangle. I’ve heard that it’s 21 kg

Yeah I seen that also. Steve has a real passion for uphill riding & full 29er bikes, and that’s fair enough, but he must surely appreciate that the vast majority of people viewing their videos are more interested in descending. He appeared to make an otherwise quite chatty Sam Shucksmith appear...

When are we going to see a review of the Karve? There’s a couple of interesting videos on YouTube but no reviews or rider feedback.

I’m selling 2 bikes plus utilising the cycle to work scheme. Saves £1000, so £6300, still pricey.

You won’t be disappointed! I’ve placed an order for the RSX also. Same, September arrival date. That’ll give me time to save for the bloody thing.

This is exactly what I’m thinking. They rarely get it wrong.

I tested a velduro rogue x last week and really liked this bike. But for an extra £700 I can get a much better fork, shock, axs shifting, fast charger & ride wrap with the Karve. I’m considering changing my order to a Karve RSX now, feels like a no brainer at this stage. Only concerns is...
