E-180 RSX
super e-enduro/gravity electric mountain bike
“The E-180’s descending performance is virtually untouchable”
Go bigger, go faster – then go again
Our E-180 RSX is the chaos-crushing, downhill-dominating, climb-shrinking super electric mountain bike (e-MTB) for self-shuttled gravity riding, bike park play, and big mountain terrain. Engineered with our innovative low centre of gravity (CoG) design, it ‘plays and slays’ on the tightest, steepest tracks but still has your back when you’re flat out through boulder fields with handling that’s agile and alive for maximum fun, hour after hour, and run after run. If having the best time dropping in on the biggest terrain is why you ride, the E-180 RSX is ready.
Highlights
– Optimised low centre of gravity gives you untouchable gravity handling.
– 180mm front + 170mm rear of trail-dominating suspension travel.
– Multi-butted 6061 T-6 aluminium hydroformed frame is built to last.
– Bosch Performance CX 85Nm motor (600W peak power) for class-leading performance and reliability.
– 750Wh battery gives you the range to get more runs in between charges.
– MX wheels (29er front, 27.5in rear) so you can tackle everything full-gas – no matter how rowdy or steep.
Dressed to perform, zero compromises
To give you the best performance possible for when you’re pushing hard on the biggest terrain, we've equipped the E-180 RSX with 'sorted right from the box' parts selection headlined by Fox's impeccable Factory series suspension units front and rear; wireless electronic shifting across the 1x12 transmission from SRAM's X01 Eagle AXS; reliable and controllable braking power on even the longest, roughest descents with SRAM Code RSC four-piston hydraulic disc brakes (220mm front rotor; 200mm rear); eBike-tough DT Swiss wheels; and top-drawer Maxxis' dual-compound Assegai WT TR EXO+ tyres with Double Down Casing in the rear to shrug off the hardest knocks.
Engineered so you can commit
The E-180 RSX's frameset maximises the advantage of our unique tilted motor and super low-slung battery arrangement, which brings the bike’s centre of gravity as low as possible, to deliver you ultra-stable, dynamically centred and confident handling at any speed and on any terrain while short 155mm cranks deliver maximum pedal control and ground clearance.
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.
The range – and reassurance – to get more from every ride
The extra-large 750Wh battery gives hour after hour, run after run on the biggest tracks and bike park lines, with a unique slide-out system for fast home charging removal and smaller battery options. Our innovative in-tube design is also far stronger and stiffer than open tube frames, surviving almost metric ton slam loads in testing so you can feel totally safe full-sending on the hill. Lifetime warranty bearings and full weather sealing back up ours and Bosch’s legendarily bombproof reliability. Because when a bike rides this great, downtime is a disaster.
“This is a true gravity-focused racer’s ebike, excelling at higher speeds on gnarly terrain”
