After months of anticipation, Dust Moto has finally revealed its new production electric motorcycle: the Hightail. If you have been following the prototype testing this year, you already know there was potential. Now, with this final model, we enter a new era of electric off-road motorcycles. Are you looking for a machine that combines power, lightness, and top-tier technology? The Hightail seems to have everything necessary to entice the most demanding motorcyclists. So, what does this new ride have under the hood? We’ll tell you everything.
A lightweight bike, but no less powerful
From the very first moment, the Hightail impresses with its lightweight design. At only 100 kg, it is a true lightweight in the world of off-road bikes. You might think it’s not robust enough to face tough terrains, but you would be wrong. With 42 horsepower and 60 Nm of torque, this machine has an impressive thrust. It promises an agile, fast, and dynamic ride, both on steep trails and motocross tracks. Its lightness allows for maneuverability that will enable you to take tight corners like a pro, without sacrificing power.
Electric bikes often have a reputation for being less robust than their combustion-engine counterparts, but Dust Moto has clearly worked to break this image. The Hightail is designed to offer an exciting experience in various environments, from muddy tracks to rocky roads.
The removable battery: a true innovation
What truly sets the Hightail apart from other electric bikes is its removable battery. Yes, you read that right. No more worries about range during your outings. The 4.4 kWh battery can be removed and replaced in the blink of an eye. You can swap a depleted battery for a charged one in less time than it takes to refuel a conventional bike. This is a great innovation for motorcyclists who love adventure without worrying about battery level.
With this quick swap capability, the Hightail emerges as a very practical option, especially for those venturing into remote terrains. You no longer depend on charging stations, which let’s face it, aren’t always accessible when you get away from the beaten paths.
Comfort and performance: the Hightail in all terrains
To have total control over the bike, Dust Moto has integrated an adjustable suspension with 25 cm of travel in the front and 28 cm in the rear. This system allows you to adapt the bike to different types of terrain, ensuring optimal comfort, even when facing the most chaotic trails. And since essential elements like brakes and tires should not be neglected, the Hightail is equipped with powerful brakes and robust tires, perfect for handling any situation, even the most extreme.
Dust Moto’s goal? To ensure you have a smooth and enjoyable riding experience, no matter the conditions. Whether for motocross sessions or a small getaway in your backyard, it seems that the Hightail is made for adventure.
A clean yet effective design
In terms of design, the Hightail not only stands out for its performance but also for its elegance. Every detail has been thought out to offer a bike that is both aesthetic and practical. Clean lines, a structure that exudes robustness and lightness, and a harmonious set that will not leave you indifferent. It’s obvious that a model like this has been tested and perfected, and the finishing seems impeccable.
In terms of construction, there is a noticeable special attention to engineering, to guarantee not only efficiency but also durability. We know that a good off-road bike must be able to withstand the elements, impacts, and scratches, and it seems that the Hightail is designed for that.
A reasonable price for a quality bike
If you think that this type of bike must be very expensive, think again. With a final estimated price of around $10,000, the Hightail offers excellent value for money, especially considering its performance and manufacturing in the United States. It’s a bike that gives you direct access to the excitement of off-roading, while remaining within a reasonable price range for electric bikes in this category. With all these qualities, there are no reasons to miss out on it. You can even pre-order the Hightail right now, with an initial deposit of $100, to ensure you get your bike before everyone else.
