Wonder if that’s a typo on the medium standover...? Seems odd that it’s the same figure as the large.

Standover is always measured from the ground to the centre of the top tube. So on a sloping top tube (like the Whyte), don't think it's an issue?

Hi, Same here, are you paying for the upgrade, I'm being charged £40?RockShox to Fox
5mm more BB ground clearance, 2mm slightly longer chainstay. Will anyone notice?
Looking forward to seeing where they have routed the gear cable.

Have they changed the colours? Says Matt Burnt Orange on your box, and Matt Moss with Yellow & Grey on the website ?
My S is still early August, can't wait!

Does anyone know the story about dealers etc? I asked one of the dealers that couldn't get stock if I ordered it via England online and if there was issues could I bring it yo you for fixing or sending back to whyte and was told no, so it would have to go back to where I bought it!
Surly if they are listed as a dealer I should be able to get it fixed via them in NI? That is what has put me off ordering from England.

Man that looks sweet! Standover doesnt look bad in the pic and looks like they fixed the cable routing as well. Fingers crossed that carries over to the 180.If both those things are fixed Whyte is moving to the top of the list.
Any details of the rerouting

Any details of the rerouting
I spoke with ACE bikes who confirmed they have rerouted the wiring out of the back of the Bosch unit. You can still see a single cable on the stock image:
E-160 RS
Your greatest hits on repeat Fox suspension melts rocks under the legendary grippy, race winning Maxxis Assegai tyres as you slam the bars into the apex, and the uniquely grounded Total Geometry handling of the super stiff slide in battery frame pulls Gs that would put other bikes into the...

Does this mean, they could do the earlier bikes the same or is it a completely different fitting etc.

That must have been a loooong weekend waiting. Hope they turn up for you.

Test rode the E160 RS today really like it but it was not really tested anywhere near it's capabilities as I had 45 min at my local trail centre.
It felt well balanced but also be playful I had no problem hoping it around and it was very easy to lift the front end. The front end felt planted and gave good feed back and confidence.
The biggest improvement from the E150 I rode last year was the new software update it's transformed the motor it very natural feeling and produces power from very low cadences and hill starts are much easier I found it even produced good power from half cranks ratcheting over obstacles of course you can get this for your E 150.
I really like it but can't get my size until December and they would not budge on price so I have managed to get an E150 RS brand new for £4720 so I'm going with that might even take the lyrics off it sell them as new and buy some ZEB rc for it
