2026 Whyte ELyte EVO Stag Works V2 Electric Enduro Full Suspension Carbon Mountain Bike In Stealth Black & Silver

The ELyte EVO Stag Works from British bike team Whyte represents the pinnacle of their electrifying e-MTB range, delivering the dream specification of their design and engineering team made real for passionate and adventurous riders. This flagship model combines Whyte's renowned low centre of gravity design – the lowest they've ever achieved at just 492.28mm – with carefully selected race-grade components to create a honed machine that excels in aggressive trail riding and technical enduro terrain. With mixed wheel sizes as standard, premium Fox Factory suspension, and the latest Bosch CX motor technology, this bike is built to deliver more runs, more satisfaction, more grins, and more fun.

Built around a uni-directional carbon fibre mainframe and seatstays, the ELyte EVO Stag Works delivers an impressive combination of stiffness, compliance, and lightweight performance. The carbon construction provides precise power transfer and responsive handling whilst maintaining the resilience needed for hard trail use. The tapered head tube and internal cable routing contribute to the clean aesthetic and structural integrity, whilst the Shape.it Link V2 allows geometry adjustment to fine-tune handling characteristics for different tracks or riding preferences.

Refined e-bike system

Bosch's very latest high performance, ultra-responsive fifth generation Performance Line CX motor and battery technologies deliver you Bosch's most refined, reliable and efficient performance ever. Quieter and lighter than the previous generation, delivering 85Nm of torque and 600W of peak power that responds intuitively to your pedalling, and with free software updates this motor can be configured with enhanced settings to unleash an impressive 100Nm of torque and 750W of peak power. The update also introduces the all-new E-MTB+ mode, designed specifically for technical climbing and demanding terrain.

The carefully engineered motor configuration allows the battery to sit at the lowest point in the frame, creating Whyte's signature low centre of gravity, which on the ELyte EVO is at 492.28mm. This is the lowest of any e-MTB they've ever made, and that translates to nimble handling and confident cornering on technical terrain.

The ELyte EVO Stag Works comes with a 400Wh Bosch PowerTube battery integrated within the downtube, and includes the 250Wh PowerMore range extender as standard, giving you a combined 650Wh of battery capacity. This clever system gives you the flexibility to choose your setup: run just the internal 400Wh battery for shorter 'power-hour' rides with reduced weight, or add the PowerMore for longer adventures and all-day riding. The frame features two bottle positions so you can run a full 750ml bottle in the lower position (using the included adapter) and still mount a smaller 450ml Fidlock bottle higher up – even with the PowerMore in place on sizes Medium to X-Large.

Downtime is minimal thanks to the fast charging times: with the included 4A charger you can expect approximately 50% charge in 1.5 hours from empty, and to 100% in 3.5 hours.

Another welcome professional touch is that the ELyte EVO Stag Works integrates SRAM's AXS wireless electronic rear derailleur directly into the bike's main battery, so you'll never need to remember to charge your gears separately.

Smart connections

With the Bosch Smart System, which links up the ELyte's top-tube integrated Kiox 400C display, battery, and motor with the eBike Flow app on your mobile device, you can have even more information at your fingertips to manage, tailor, and personalise your bike just how you want to get even more from your riding. Tune the motor support levels, keep track of your bike's performance and battery consumption, plan and navigate routes, and keep your software up to date. You can even use your smartphone as a "digital key" to deactivate the motor for peace of mind.

High-performance suspension

Premium, race-specification suspension units – with meticulously custom-tuned settings to smooth out the rough. Performance comes courtesy of Fox's top-tier suspension package, with the Float 36 Factory fork providing 150mm of controlled, responsive travel up front. The 36mm stanchions and Grip X2 damper deliver the precision and adjustability needed for demanding riding, whilst the DebonAir spring maintains sensitivity over smaller bumps. At the rear, the custom-tuned Float X Factory Series shock with EVOL air spring and lock out provides 142mm of perfectly balanced travel, with damping characteristics specifically developed to complement the ELyte's suspension design.

Whyte's engineers have tuned the ELyte EVO Stag Works's suspension to deliver you the highest level of support, grip, confidence, and control possible right from your first ride.

Switching the linkage from "High" to "Low" will slacken the geometry by 0.6º and lower the bottom bracket for a more gravity-friendly handling.

Powerful and precise drivetrain

SRAM's cutting-edge wireless electronic drivetrain gives you impeccable shifting with impressive reliability and precision. The T-Type system combines the benefits of electronic shifting with the robustness of Transmission technology, featuring the XO T-Type AXS rear derailleur and AXS Pod shifters working in harmony to offer 12 speeds with the SRAM XS 1295 wide-range 10-52T cassette. This setup provides seamless gear changes even under full motor torque, and the combination of SRAM 36T chainring with short Hope 155mm E-Bike cranks offers maximum ground clearance for technical terrain.

Finishing touches

The Whyte drop.it II Adjust dropper seatpost features size-specific travel lengths: 140-170mm for Small and Medium frames, and 170-200mm for Large and X-Large. This allows riders to quickly lower their saddle position for technical descents and raise it back up for efficient climbing, with the MMX Paddle remote lever providing intuitive control.

Control and stopping power are provided by Hope's EVO GR4 four-piston brakes paired with Magura MT7 brake levers, delivering powerful and progressive braking performance across varied conditions. The 200mm floating rotors front and rear offer plenty of heat dissipation for sustained descents, whilst the ergonomic brake levers provide excellent modulation and feel.

Rolling on mixed MX wheels as standard – 29" front and 27.5" rear – the ELyte EVO Stag Works benefits from the best of both worlds: the trail-smoothing momentum of a 29" front wheel for tackling technical terrain with speed and control, combined with the playful agility of a 27.5" rear wheel for confident cornering and manoeuvrability. This mixed-wheel setup gives you a distinct advantage across any trail, combining the benefits that enduro racers have embraced for competitive performance.

The DT HX531 rims with 30mm internal width are laced to Hope Pro 5 hubs using DT Swiss Elemental spokes, creating a robust and reliable wheelset. The rims are shod with aggressive Maxxis tyres, featuring an Assegai WT 120 TPI up front with 3C MaxxGrip Dual Compound and EXO+ sidewall protection, and paired with a Minion DHR II WT 120 TPI rear tyre sporting 3C MaxxTerra Dual Compound and DoubleDown casing. This Maxxis tyre combination delivers the grip and durability needed for serious trail riding whilst providing different characteristics front and rear to optimise traction and rolling efficiency.

Lifetime frame + pivot bearing warranties

If you register your bike for free with Whyte within 28 days of purchase, they will back every ELyte EVO Stag Works with a lifetime extended warranty against materials and manufacturing defects on all frames for the original owner, a lifetime warranty on all suspension pivot bearings together with a one-year warranty on parts, and a one-year cosmetic warranty on paint and decals.

Designed to perform, made to last

For Whyte, making bikes that ride and perform so you can have your best ride, every ride, is only part of the story. Another is engineering them to continue to keep doing that flawlessly ride after ride, and year after year no matter how hard you push them or what conditions you ride through – good, bad, or atrocious.

To do that, they pay as much attention to all the small details as they do the big to ensure the bike performs perfectly through every pump and pedal stroke. Everything from sweating the fine details of geometry and component selection to give you the perfect balance of performance and reliability, all the way to phosphate-coated and marine-grease packed bearings, fully sealed cable ports, masses of mud clearances, and many more.

The best British design, built to perform, engineered to last, award-winning handling, and proven through the worst conditions. That's the Whyte difference.
