We’ve been frothin’ to announce our latest AVINOX-powered e-bike, the RS 181.2 (affectionately referred to as “the dot 2”). This is hands down the most powerful and quietest eeb we’ve released to date, up and down. We’ve refined the frame to reduce weight & bulk around the bottom bracket area without compromising our CAT 5 level DH strength rating. We’ve also improved the cable routing for a cleaner, more integrated finish, no more cables next to the shock. This iteration of the RS eBike benefits from everything we’ve learned since our 2022 downhill race bike, refined across three generations of RS eBikes. The Crestline RS 181.2 delivers all the watts, zero bulk, a more refined shape, and our continued no-compromises approach to performance. “I give you my word, this frame will make you feel sharper on the tools than ever before” – Troydon KEY POINTS: RS 181.2 PLAID EDITION POWERED BY THE UNRIVALED AVINOX SYSTEM COIL SHOCK OPTION | ROCKSHOX VIVID ULTIMATE / RED SPRING AIR SHOCK OPTION | ROCKSHOX VIVID ULTIMATE LIMITED 150 ALPINE CHALK EXAMPLES FOR 2026 GLOSS FINISH EASILY REMOVABLE 600wh | 800wh BATTERY ADJUSTABLE TRAVEL 161mm | 181mm 29/29 OR MX OPTIONS IN ALL SIZES ADJUSTABLE DROP OUT OPTIONS 435mm to 465mm (*sold separately) PLENTY OF REAR TIRE MUD CLEARANCE 56mm HEAD TUBE ALLOWING ADJUSTABLE REACH CONFIGURATIONS CAT 5 DH RATED – DUAL CROWN COMPATIBLE IMPROVED CABLE ROUTING SRAM AXS POWER CORD INCLUDED COLOR: ALPINE CHALK – GLOSS The AVINOX SystemCompact, lightweight, and seamlessly integrated.
