ELyte 150 Works
trail/enduro electric mountain bike
"Downhill performance, uphill comfort, low weight and a top spec combine in a brilliant package"
The trail bike without equal
Fast, light and powerful, our top of the range ELyte 150 Works masterfully blends the very best natural mountain bike handling and ride feel with the power and capability of full-fat electric mountain bikes (eMTBs). Weighing just 19.2kg (size M) with 55Nm of torque, 600W of peak power, and a total combined battery capacity of 650Wh, it has the power – and the range – to do it all: the singletrack, the all-day epic, the home trail hot laps, the drop-ins, the descents, the tech and the climbs back out.
Highlights
– 150mm front + 142mm rear of custom-tuned suspension travel.
– Uni-directional carbon fibre frame is light and reassuringly strong.
– Bosch Performance Line SX mid-torque (55Nm), full power (600W) motor.
– 650Wh of combined battery (400Wh internal + 250Wh PowerMore range extender) so you can ride further.
– 29er wheels front and rear for balanced handling.
– 250Wh PowerMore range extender included.
Flawless trail perfection
Every ELyte 150 Works is specced to perform flawlessly right from the first pedal stroke so you can focus on what really counts – your ride. Top of the range Fox Factory suspension front and rear tames the roughest trails with ease; SRAM's XO T-Type AXS electronic gearing gives you reliably impeccable shifting performance; richly powerful Hope Tech 4 V4 four-piston hydraulic disc brakes deliver the ultimate in braking control; Hope cranks and hubs; traction-rich Maxxis tyres; and more. It’s the finest trail-proven kit to serve you perfectly, wherever and however hard you ride.
ELyte 150 Works: lightweight, mid-torque, full power. The trail bike without equal.
Beautifully light, reassuringly strong
The beating heart of the ELyte 150 Works is an all-new, lightweight yet strong carbon fibre chassis that carefully packages Bosch's light and powerful Performance Line SX mid-torque (55Nm), full power (600W) motor – and the 400Wh internal battery – seamlessly so you can fly under the radar as stealthily as you'll fly down the trails. We've also carefully positioned the Bosch PowerMore range extender as low in the frame as possible to optimise the bike's centre of gravity and deliver an exceptional handling bike, however you want to ride – with the range extender for longer rides out in the hills, or without for lapping your local trails.
Your bike, your way
We’ve engineered the ELyte 150 Works to give you the option to set it up and ride it as you want. Want more battery? The ELyte 150 Works comes with Bosch’s 250Wh PowerMore range extender – that mounts in the lower bottle boss position. Want to run a bottle, or even two? The frame has two bottle positions: a lower for a full 750ml bottle (using the included bottle cage adaptor), and a higher Fidlock position for a smaller 450ml bottle (on sizes M-XL) – even with the PowerMore in place. Or you can use the Fidlock mounts for tool or tube mounting (all sizes). Want to slacken the geometry out? The ‘Shape.it Link V2’ geometry adjustment lets you change between the stock high to its low setting for a lower, slacker geometry for more downhill grins. Want to pedal further? Keep it in its higher, more all-day ride-friendly position.
Engineered for the best – and worst – conditions
We’ve designed, tested and proven every ELyte in our native UK, riding all year round through the best and the worst weathers, and have added a whole host of touches that will keep you riding sweeter and for longer. Things such as: a fully weather-sealed seat-clamp gaiter, and sealed cable and hose ports to keep the water out; positioning the charge port at the base and to the front of the seat tube out of the firing line of the rear wheel spray; clearance for up to 2.5in tyres between the seat and chainstays to prevent mud and gunk slowing you down; Phosphate-coated and marine grease packed pivot bearings to maximise pivot bearing service life; as well as frame protection on the lower downtube and chainstay to keep the frame in great shape, and much more.
"The Whyte Elyte is the best-handling eMTB I’ve ridden."
