Talaria Sting R MX Expert Edition E-Dirt Bike 2023

MORE POWER, MORE PERFORMANCE

All-new air-cooled motor with a nominal power of 4kw with a peak of 8kw. Donning a 33% increase from the original Sting. Notably faster acceleration coupled with a 13% increase in top speed makes the String R the industry leader.

UPGRADED BATTERY

With more demands come bigger batteries. 18% increase from 38Ah to 45Ah. Not only does this increase acceleration and top speed the new 2.7kW battery brings an increased range of 53 miles. Let’s not forget the reduced 25% charging time, charging from 0-100% in just 3 hours.

BUILT FOR THE DIRT

Rigid frame & swingarm coupled with a new upgraded suspension offering a wider range of preload and rebound adjustment making it arguably now the best in class. A new more comfortable seat makes those longer rides much more comfortable.

OUR CONCLUSION

It’s simple really. The Sting R is not only the most accomplished electric motorcycle, but it also represents great value, as pound-for-pound nothing can match it for power and performance.

Why choose the MX Expert Edition?

The ‘Sting MX Expert Edition’ includes the Manitou Dorado Expert USD Forks. The Dorado forks are a legendary heritage model, re-engineered with a new 37mm chassis, improved internals too. However, this inverted fork design continues to offer the benefits of constant lubrication of the bushings and seals for a silky smooth ride. Their fore-aft stiffness and longer bushing style helping to maintain torsion compliance and as a result better rider control, with improved steering accuracy and traction helping reduce fatigue. With the Dorado Expert weighing in at around .68 kg less than the standard forks, they will react quicker on rough terrain, thus maintaining better contact with the surface. With a suggested retail of over £1300 they offer a superior upgrade to the front suspension on the Expert Edition, beyond that on the standard MX model.

The Dorado Expert forks employ a half cartridge version of the TPC+ system. This reduces the pressure loss during rebound by separating the check-valve from the compression pistons. This new high flow check-valve improves flow and in turn assists with small bump compliance and increased damping consistency. The end of stroke consistency is also improved, by moving the HBO circuit inside the damping cartridge and submerging it into the damping fluid. The forks new 37mm stanchions offer the perfect balance of improved stiffness and weight saving, as well as an ideal seal surface. These forks are a 20% improved stiffness when compared to the earlier 36mm version. The unique internal Dorado Air Spring balances the positive and negative air pressure in the air chambers, adding consistency of spring rate avoiding any flat or dead spots caused on a ‘Dimple’ system. Finally the Incremental Volume Adjust (IVA) allows the rider a perfect range of adjustment of the Dorado Air system.
