Whyte says

The E-5 is designed to be the fastest and most comfortable endurance XC bike available, regardless of the distance between A and B. Aimed at racers, Polaris riders and those who simply enjoy long days in the saddle, the E-5 is fast. The E5 uses a carbon monocoque swing arm which is light yet unbelievably stiff and makes this one of the fastest climbing and accelerating bikes you ll ever ride. Combined with a lightweight M6 magnesium enriched front triangle and top drawer components it s no surprise the E-5 has been ridden to victory in numerous events from 24-hour solo races to National Trailquest championships.
