Dirt Bikes

Electric dirt bikes have reached the point where “quiet” no longer has to mean “slow.” Bonnell is the latest company to make that argument, launching the new 805 RX as the first model in its e-Moto lineup.

We pit 3 electric dirt bikes against each other: the ENGWE Eagle, Buffseek R01, and Tasaca T500-V58. All are fighting for attention in roughly the same $1,000 to $1,500 neighborhood. Targeted at younger folks, these promise proper dirt-bike thrills.

The Dorado V3 is an electric dual sport that may not carry the cachet of an established brand, but its spec sheet suggests it's aiming well above its weight. A 48-hp motor, a 7.2-kWh swappable battery, an 80-mph top speed, and 70 miles of trail range.

Just when you thought Stark Future couldn’t possibly outdo its Varg MX and EX off-road electric motorcycles, it goes on to launch limited-edition “Factory-edition” versions of the two fitted with all the bells and whistles you could have asked for.

The Wolfstorm comes from Kyiv-based USC, which specializes in military equipment. Thanks to its near-zero heat signature and zero sound, it looks like the perfect tactical motorcycle for military use. But could we see it made available to the public?

Just a year after the company's first foray into motocross bikes, Ducati has unveiled the Desmo250 MX, a fire-breathing featherweight built to dominate tracks with possibly the highest revving engine in its class.

“Less is more.” CFMoto’s latest motorcycle embodies that philosophy, especially in a class that has not just been growing in popularity, but also in the size of the motorcycles themselves. This one’s simple and straightforward … and I like that.

Just when most of us thought the era of two strokes was over, Japanese bikemaker Kawasaki has released its first big two-strokers in more than two decades – the KX327 motocrosser and the cross-country-focused KX327X.

The industry standard for electric enduros has long been the Stark Stark Varg EX. The Radian EXR might just be the bike to change that status quo. Do we finally have a challenger for Stark’s crown?

Juiced Bikes has just launched its first electric dirt bike, called Nomadix, through its powersports arm. And all for US$2,500. It ticks most boxes: impressive performance, affordability, light weight, and what looks like good after-sales support.

QJMotor's latest COV 125 siblings look like the perfect beginner motorcycles. But these bikes are stepping into one of the most fiercely contested segments in motorcycling. Can affordable pricing alone be enough to sway buyers away from legacy brands?

KTM first introduced the Freeride E as a proper off-road electric in 2012. Come to think of it, KTM can actually be considered one of the pioneers in the electric revolution. Now, more than a decade later, it finally becomes fully road-legal.
