Enduro

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.

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!

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.

Flyer has launched a pair of Bosch-assisted enduro bikes with "incredibly agile handling and generous travel." The "Alpine-tested" trail-rippers promise an exhilarating ride for experienced riders, while also offering comfort and safety to newbies.

Last week, SRAM announced a new ebike system rocking a Brose motor and auto shifting technology. Now Nukeproof has launched its first models to include the Eagle Powertrain, the Megawatt Carbon RS and Pro enduro ebikes.

Even if an off-road ride doesn't wear Porsche or Yamaha badging, electric mountain biking can still be a costly business. British D2C brand Vitus has launched a new range of long-travel eMTBs that start at a relatively affordable US$3,699.

Back in September, Bosch announced a limited-edition race-oriented mid-mount motor for enduro eMTBs. Spain's Orbea was quick to include one in its Wild M-Ltd model, and now neighbor Mondraker has followed suit for the Crafty Carbon XR Ltd.

Back in 2019, Luna Cycles unchained the ground-breaking X1 Enduro ebike, a 50-lb performance monster with up to 2,000 watts of power on tap, full suspension and up to 40 miles of per-charge range. Now the company has unveiled an improved model.
