Confidence at every turn
Karve EVO RS uses fully proportional sizing to ensure every frame size delivers the same balanced, confident handling. Each size is developed with its own geometry and front‑to‑rear centre relationship, so rider weight distribution stays consistent – preserving control and composure when it really matters. Designed around long travel and aggressive riding, it remains stable and predictable on steep, rough terrain and at higher speeds. Whether you’re repeating self‑shuttle laps, committing to technical descents or pushing harder on enduro stages, Karve EVO RS holds its line and stays composed – giving you the confidence to ride with greater control.
Avinox inside
Karve EVO RS is powered by the Avinox M2S system. Delivering up to 1300W of peak power and 155Nm of torque, it provides immediate, controlled drive to get you back to the top quickly and ready to go again. Smooth, high‑fidelity response keeps power precisely managed on steep, technical lines, maintaining traction and composure when it matters most. The 800Wh battery gives you the range for repeat runs, while the compact, low‑weight design preserves the bike’s stable, planted feel. Fully connected and highly tunable, it’s designed to work seamlessly with you — delivering consistent, dependable performance when you’re pushing hardest.
Switchable geometry
Our Shape.It link ‘flip-chip’ allows you to change the geometry of the bike easily and quickly without affecting the suspension kinematics by raising or lowering the Bottom Bracket (BB) height. By using the shock extender and effectively moving the eye-to-eye length of the shock, the BB can be lifted or lowered – and all without affecting the suspension kinematics. Switch it between high and low positions to slacken the bike out by 0.6 degrees and lower the BB by 8mm so you can tailor the geometry to the terrain you're tackling.
