Whyte Karve Evo

[DBuckett]

Whyte have said it's going to me be 24-25kg, and dealer I talked to who have one say it's 24.1kg.

I would need to swap out the suspension for coil , so that would make it heavier too.

Where did you see Whyte say 24-25? All I’ve seen so far is 23.9. Very similar numbers tbf, but 25kg is quite heavy compared to the other Avinox bikes.

I don’t know why they don’t come out and release more info on these bikes. They must know the weight already, makes me suspicious it could be closer to 25kg and they don’t want people who’ve reserved their bikes to potentially cancel and look elsewhere.

Help! I can get hold of the Karve RS in XL for September this year. I used AI to change the fork, shox and sram GX axs derailer to suit me. I ride a Specialized Kenevo S5 with 29” and Fox factory 38 so really close on geo. What does everyone think? Should I wait for the Karve Evo RS next year or customise the RS (I do prefer the paint on the Evo RS).

You could swap the 800wh battery for the 600wh battery to save 870gms. Not for me, I would rather have the range of the 800wh battery

I didn’t realise there was a 600wh battery option on the karve? Same as yourself, bigger days are more appealing that a lighter bike.

Shame we can’t get the 180/180 & 800wh for around 22kg at this price point.

I’m coming from an AL levo with zeb ultimate 170, so it’ll probably be a similar weight.
