Furiously fast and powerfully capable, the Karve RS is a thrilling all-rounder that pairs proportional geometry with size-specific tuning to deliver balanced, assured handling for every rider.

Confident and highly capable, it is built for those who expect more control, composure and consistency from every ride. From steep descents to technical climbs and demanding back-country trails, it delivers the stability and precision to stay on line when it matters. Designed, developed and proven in the UK, the Karve RS is built to be dependable, resilient and ready to perform all year-round.

The Karve RS benefits from proportional sizing throughout the range, with specifically tuned dimensions, geometry, and front- and rear-centres designed to deliver balanced handling and uncompromised trail performance. By refining fit, weight distribution and ride dynamics for each frame size, the Karve RS stays planted, stable and predictable when trails get steep, rough and fast.

Powered by the Avinox M2S system, it combines high peak power (up to 1300W) and torque (155Nm) with smooth, responsive delivery. The internal 800Wh battery delivers the range for longer rides, while its compact, low-weight design preserves agile handling. The Shape.It Link flip-chip allows for fine-tuning to match riding style and terrain, letting you switch between high and low settings to adjust geometry, slackening the head angle by 0.6 degrees and lowering the bottom bracket by 8mm. The bike can also be converted from a full 74cm (29in) setup to MX wheels (74cm (29in) front, 70cm (27.5in) rear) by swapping the link and adding a suitable e-MTB rated 70cm (27.5in) rear wheel.
