Just looked at review stopped when weight was mentioned 26kg plus that was the limit of the scales so most probably 27kg.Thought this might be of interest to 29er lovers ..

Promo vid here. Having the battery on rails is an improvement. 29er now, has the Bosch smarts, bigger battery and beefed up headtube prob means more weight (although you could swap in different batteries).Finally a 2023 bike I wonder what the difference is from 2022 model.
That's not that bad in 2 years what's the difference in the specs?Called ace and the 23 e180 s is £6800. I got a 21 model paid 5400.
It looks good in that red, but...Just looked at review stopped when weight was mentioned 26kg plus that was the limit of the scales so most probably 27kg.
I think any bike upgraded with the new 750 battery will be heavier, isn’t it approx 1kg heavier than a 625?There is no doubt Whyte make nice bikes but for me increasing weight on a new model just seems a step backwards, E bikes ares still in early stages of development and some exciting times to come. Although I love my Full Fat I really expect the bikes to be getting lighter these things are not cheap I want development I want I want I want
Yeah, 4.4kg, 625 is 3.5kg. If Whyte is sticking with alu, not sure where else they can lose weight. DT wheels, Fox susp, GX transmission, RF bars/stem, crank bros dropper, all standard FF kit.I think any bike upgraded with the new 750 battery will be heavier, isn’t it approx 1kg heavier than a 625?
Can the secret location be revealed looks good funAnd good old Guy Kes has done his typical live ride review on one at our local trails (top secret location )

The bikes are in the country so its just about distribution to retailers, so I hope no more than a week or two. I have ordered the Orange colour, I'm told no one has seen any matt black bikes so if you want that colour there is probably a longer wait. My e180 is Black and I like that colour but not too keen on the matt finish which is harder to clean than a gloss finish.When do you hope to get your new bike, look forward to you telling us how it compares with your other one.
