The embargo has officially lifted, the secret is out, and we can finally talk about the absolute monster that Whyte Bikes has been brewing behind closed doors.

Introducing the all-new Whyte Karve EVO.

Billed as the ultimate "supreme self-shuttle machine", this bike is designed, developed, and proven on the toughest UK terrain. It is made specifically for gravity thrill seekers, bike-park senders, and riders looking for the absolute best descending performance possible. All thriller, no filler.

But as amazing as the chassis is, we need to talk about the elephant in the room. The powerplant.

The Game Changer: DJI Avinox M2S Motor

This is the big news. The Karve EVO is one of the very first bikes to feature the brand new, highly anticipated DJI Avinox M2S motor system.

This motor seriously pushes the limits of what an eMTB can do. We are talking about a full-power, full-torque system pushing out an unbelievable 150Nm of torque and a peak power of 1300W. Pair that with a massive 800Wh internal battery, and your local downhill runs just became a loop you can lap all day long without breaking a sweat on the climbs.

The Chassis: Built for Gravity

Of course, all that power is useless if the bike cannot handle the descent. Whyte has thrown the kitchen sink at the Karve EVO to make sure it tracks, grips, and flies exactly how you want it to.

Here is what you are getting out of the box:

• Massive Suspension: 180mm front and 180mm rear of Whyte custom-tuned travel.
• Hybrid Frame: A uni-directional carbon fibre front triangle paired with a bombproof 6061 T6 aluminium rear triangle.
• MX / Mullet Setup: 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear wheels for the perfect blend of rollover speed and cornering agility (though it is ready to be converted to a full 29er if you prefer).
• UK Proofed: Full weatherproofing and geometry adjustment built in.
• Ready to Shred: All bikes come fully dressed in carefully selected, trail-proven components, adjustable travel full-insertion dropper posts, and pre-installed Ride Wrap to protect your paint.

How to get one (Read this carefully!)

Here is the crucial bit. Stock on these bikes is going to be incredibly limited globally.

However, Back On Track Bikes is set to be one of the very first dealers to receive actual stock. While most shops will be waiting until September for the second drop, our first batch of Karve EVOs is due to land in-store around mid-June.

Because stock is so tight, we are not taking pre-orders through the website. If you want to guarantee you are riding a Karve EVO this summer, you need to get in touch with the shop directly. Call us, drop us an email via the links on the bike pages, or better yet, pop into the shop. We can get you sized up perfectly and secure your name against one of these first-drop bikes.

Do not hang around on this one. Once that first June batch is spoken for, it is a long wait until Autumn!
