WHYTE E-160 2023 BIKES *FIRST RIDE REVIEW*

[@Fishter1]

Incredible riding from the pair of you! You watching Leo makes you feel slow but me watching you two makes me feel even slower 🤣 The Whytes look great! I ended up here as I’m currently debating between an E160 and the Cube Stereo Hybrid 160’s

[@PinnedTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@deadgum11]

My cousin had the weld crack near the rear caliper on his e180s a few months ago, tbf to whyte, they replaced it reasonably quickly, but a few rides later, the new one cracked as well, then today his friend has also had the same thing happen.

[@PinnedTV]

Wow

[@deadgum11]

@@PinnedTV The welds on this model and his brothers e150 29er are in a different place, probably different rear triangle for 29" wheels. He's just told me today that Whyte are replacing his V2 for a V3 so fair play to them.

[@robertbransby]

Look like they ride really nicely, Leo is such a great young rider, great to see him putting it through its paces.

[@PinnedTV]

Yeh he has a bright future

[@pauljnicholls3929]

The look amazing and the way you guys were flicking them around was unbelievable. This video just made me late... but I don't care. Wish I hadn't just bought a new eeb last month, cos if I'd has this video 2 months I would be riding a demo a probably be parting with some hard earned cash.... Less figures more feel, that's how you showcase a bike. Nice guys.

[@PinnedTV]

Thanks mate

[@peterwilliamson4296]

Those Whyte bikes look fabulous and are clearly up for real world MTB treatment. Hope to see them on the road more in New Zealand. Loved the video. Very aero!

[@PinnedTV]

Thanks dude

[@scjgreen]

Great Vid Jim! Met you at the Southern Enduro on my 2022 Whyte E180S and you said you'd been and ridden these! I have GX AXS on mine and like you I didnt like the Standard Paddle. Luckily SRAM have released a Paddle Upgrade that makes it more like a standard mechanical shifter

[@PinnedTV]

That’s great, bet it’s way better

[@letsridemoore5882]

Great review! Nice one boys

[@PinnedTV]

Cheers Dave

[@reubenbacon9156]

Fair play to Leo that road gaps horrible. Eyed it up a few times but can’t bring myself to do it with the runout and having seen someone hit a tree. Ace bicycles were saying the same thing to me that the whytes are great bikes but aren’t marketed very well so people go for the more popular brands. Thanks for a good vid of the local

[@PinnedTV]

Cheers, think that marketing will change now, new people

[@lopon12]

Probably need to address the placement of that controller on the bars, pretty standard crash from Leo and it snapped right off!

[@PinnedTV]

That’s just a Bosch thing, you can get aftermarket mounts that are better

[@jono12341000]

@@PinnedTV where can you find an aftermarket mount?

[@PinnedTV]

My mate does them at True North Cycle Hub

[@jamesroberts7906]

Leo's commentary is very good, I think Whyte needs to look at how they mount the controller, they will get a lot of people asking for new mounts all crash replacements.

[@PinnedTV]

Aftermarket ones are better

[@Theclarksonmtb]

If mike does a good a job as he did with Calibre and the bossnut then Whyte should be onto a winner.

[@PinnedTV]

👌

[@craigwilliams470]

Love watching your lad ride. Hopefully see him on redbull in the future

[@PinnedTV]

So do I, but that’s not my lad, it’s his mate! Near enough though! 😂😂🤘

[@ehk8029]

I have a 2020 kenevo and I'm thinking about changing it for the 2023 e180, any recommendations?

[@PinnedTV]

Good bike, a lot heavier though

[@ehk8029]

@ Do you think it would be an upgrade? or a very similar bike but with more weight?

[@TheTommiddleton]

Will you be riding a ebike at the Welsh enduro this weekend

[@PinnedTV]

Certainly will, with my secret weapon!!

[@TheTommiddleton]

Hopefully see you on the trails

[@Macca78]

Great bikes whyte had s150 some people don't realise how good that bike is got a 901 and going be looking at the t160. Whyte bikes are great some people don't realise want to see the review by guy kesteven on there new t140 just some people don't realise maybe that's about to change great review always are great channel 👍

[@PinnedTV]

Cheers Al

[@dazbbgful]

I've got the T160 rs and can't fault it. This looks like the e bike version. 👍

[@PinnedTV]

🤘🤘

[@bio-metric-1016]

Good vid guys looks like a lovely ebike don’t know how whyte have a bad name I’ve heard that too I’ve ridden one ☝️ b4 and thought it was a great bike it was one of there hardtails I wouldn’t say no to that ebike it looked like it handled well too

[@PinnedTV]

Yeh it’s great!

[@In_dependent]

How tall are you? How did M frame feel?

[@PinnedTV]

I’m 5’10 and it was surprisingly ok, I’d usually go large, but I think you can size down on eebies, as their weight makes them more stable. If I was buying I’d still go large though to be honest

[@leejones6891]

Wicked vlog again guys i can't believe leo damaged that bike when it's not his . But will you be changing colours then 🤔🤔🤔🤔 stay safe and keep it pinned guys 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@PinnedTV]

Haha no, just an honest review, we’re Rocky Mountain through and through!

[@IlkerCagatayASIK]

Wait a minute… Where is the new Bosch Smart Display on the bike?

[@PinnedTV]

No idea?

[@IlkerCagatayASIK]

Too weird. It should be there, right?

[@PinnedTV]

Yeh probably

[@douglasalexander4348]

@@IlkerCagatayASIK Smart display is extra.

[@lee-annmurphy9237]

Hi Jim, how's tod getting on from his off its crap when u can't ride ☺️👍

[@PinnedTV]

He was riding next day! All good cheers

[@lee-annmurphy9237]

Oh how I wish I was young and bounced back cheers for letting me know 👍👍👍👍👍👍😉

[@eightlivesdownmtb]

I’ve got a 2021 E-160S; cracking bike and great everywhere even on 27.5s front and back. That was £5200 when I bought it; I’ve added Zeb Ultimate forks, Hope Fortus 30s, Super Deluxe Ultimate shock, Hope cranks and Race Face everything else…so £8k isn’t that far off and the newie has leccy shifting. No carbon frame might put a few folk off, though.

[@PinnedTV]

I think carbon is pointless on ebike

[@eightlivesdownmtb]

@@PinnedTV Too right, but some folk won’t be told.

[@dtz1000]

How much do they weigh? Whyte hides that data on their website. I wonder why.

[@PinnedTV]

One of the heaviest that’s why! About 26kg

[@lt7377]

Whyte have a bad name? Always get great reviews from what I’ve seen

[@PinnedTV]

Yeh totally, they have a battle on their hands to change that, but it’s in good hands, so let’s see!

[@lt7377]

What’s said

[@lt7377]

Never heard the bad things, like what’s said?

[@Andy-co6pn]

What height are you two , you mentioned a 2" height difference ?

[@PinnedTV]

Yeh I’m 5 11 And Leo is 6’

[@Andy-co6pn]

@@PinnedTV cheers , so 5'11 felt OK on a medium ?
