Australia is home to many cool things, among which is a bright new start-up called On Powersports – a bikemaker that specializes in e-motocrossers, e-enduros, and e-supermotos, and if value is what you’re after, the OZY 30x fits the bill perfectly.

Ducati hasn't produced an off-road motorcycle since 1974, which was the R/T. Now, 52 years later, the Bologna-based bikemaker has introduced the 2026 Desmo450 MX, its very first purpose-built motocrosser. It will retail for $11,495 starting June.

Dirt Freak… with a name like that, you ought to either produce some solid, purpose-built off-road motorcycles… or an inexpensive vacuum cleaner. Happily it’s the former, in the shape of an electric moto from Japan dubbed the GE-N3.

Austin-based Bonnell is a new-ish electric two-wheeler brand with a foundation in all-terrain racing. It's been making electric mountain bikes for a bit, and now wants to muscle in on dirt bike territory with two models slated for later this year.

When you’re named like a bear, you better swing like one too. This German electric motocrosser certainly looks to take on its gas-powered foes – torque, lightweight, nimble – all attributes that might make it the perfect MX bike to swing a leg over.

It's official: a supermoto version of the world's fastest electric, the Stark Varg is coming Stateside! A street-legal hooligan version of the motocrosser would be pretty wild. Just imagine the power you’d have at the twist of the throttle.

Ultraviolette, the marque behind the fastest Indian motorcycle of all time, has a fun new ride on the way for trail junkies. The Shockwave enduro packs a ton of torque into a featherweight feature-filled electric package, for just over $2,000.

Usually, whenever you spot a custom build with a sidecar, you’d expect it to be based around a Honda, BMW, Harley, or maybe even a Triumph. Revival Cycles definitely had a different plan with this crazy, neon-laden sidecarcross!

Dakar is unlike any other race on the face of the Earth. Segway is one of the last bike makers you’d expect to find in the rally - mainly because the Chinese maker doesn’t produce a single bike that is capable of serious off-road riding. Until now.

The AMP Moto RR comes mated to a 4-speed manual transmission and reverse gear, producing a peak power of 33.5 hp and 66.3 lb-ft of torque. At just 275 lbs, it boasts a power-to-weight ratio that surpasses most 450cc dirt bikes. And for $3,250, it could be yours.

The all-new DR-Z4S comes with a host of upgrades that fans have been calling out for years. Re-tuned 398cc engine, electronic fuel injection, lighter frame, all-LED lighting, and four ride modes are all there. But there's one thing that is still missing.

The Dust Moto Hightail is a 220-pound all-electric dual sport that punches above its weight. It offers a simplified ride experience in a compact size with a swappable 4.4-kWh battery pack. And it could be yours for just $100 up front!

Rokon motorcycles aren’t like any other. This particular two-wheel-drive beast, the Ranger Dual Sport Edition, might not produce crazy power figures, but it can tow 2,000 lb, climb a 60% grade, and carry heaps of luggage – all while being street legal.

The magnificently overpowered Stark Varg has been remixed and released as a street-legal electric enduro bike – and due to weird laws in certain areas, you may not even need a motorcycle license to ride this 80-horsepower, 120-kg (265-lb) monster.

The recently concluded EICMA is solid proof that CFMoto is on the up. The Chinese bikemaker revealed its near-production, all-electric CF-X concept. It’s designed to take on the traditional 450cc ICE dirt bikes. And it’s a looker.
