Enduro

Motorcycle manufacturers are getting more and more open to taking risks, it would seem. Case in point: Segway's Xaber 300. Its highlight is three selectable power modes that simulate 150cc, 200cc, and 300cc gas bikes.

You know you have a proper enduro on your hands when it has Graham Jarvis’ credentials behind it. That’s the Jarv-E project, and it isn’t just another ambitious electric motorcycle; it’s a proper hard-enduro bike designed for technical trail riding.

It was 18 years back when a certain KLE 500 ruled markets around the globe, giving stiff competition to the likes of the Honda Transalp and the Yamaha Tenere. Now, after months of speculation, Kawasaki has brought the KLE back in an all-new avatar.

The small-displacement entry-level motorcycle segment is hotter than ever, and it looks like Moto Morini wants a slice of it. The Italian bikemaker has filed documents for two new 300cc motorcycles: an adventure motorcycle and an enduro-styled model.

Attention all petrolheads and e-bike fans: Swedish-owned, Spain-based electric motorcycle manufacturer Stark Future has just confirmed that it is reportedly developing electric street bikes with one mission: to outdo petrol-powered bikes.

As if producing the world’s fastest electric enduro motorcycle wasn’t enough, Stark Future has gone ahead and updated the Varg MX with “advanced updates in powertrain, chassis design, and software features."

"Successful EV manufacturer" ... now that’s not something you’d expect to hear all that often. A company that’s into cars might still have a chance, but you’d rarely hear about a two-wheel EV-maker producing numbers in the green. Enter Stark Future.

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.

Forty-four years after BMW's R 80 G/S triumphed in the Paris-Dakar rally in 1981, the company has unveiled its new dirt-focused boxer. It embraces the very spirit of the OG bike and expands BMW’s roadster platform with electronic and structural upgrades.

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.

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.

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.
