Talaria has been steadily pushing further into high-performance electric off-road bikes, and its latest machine looks like a serious leap forward. The new Talaria Komodo electric dirt bike cranks things up in just about every way, from power and speed to battery capacity and full-size dirt bike geometry.
On paper at least, this is no longer just a Sur Ron–class trail toy competitor, but something that’s starting to blur the line between lightweight electric dirt bikes and full-on electric motorcycles.
With a claimed 32 kW of peak power, the Komodo is by far the most powerful production bike Talaria has announced so far. That kind of output puts it well beyond the typical 6–10 kW machines that dominate the electric dirt bike space today.
Power comes from a 96V 45Ah lithium battery, delivering just over 4.3 kWh of capacity. Talaria claims up to 115 km (71.5 miles) of range at a steady 45 km/h (28 mph), though aggressive trail riding or Hyper mode will obviously bring that number down quickly.
Top speed is listed at 105 km/h (about 65 mph), which is another signal that Talaria is aiming this bike at experienced riders who want real performance. Four ride modes of Eco, Sport, Hyper, and Reverse allow riders to dial things back or unleash everything the bike has to offer. That reverse mode is handy for scenarios where wheeling the bike around your tiptoes, like wiggling it into a parking spot in your garage, can be tricky.
There’s also a four-level adjustable regenerative braking system, controlled via a regen button, giving riders another tool to manage traction and energy recovery on the trail.
Unlike a lot of ‘dirt bike in name only‘ models that are more intended for kids to rip around the streets, the Komodo rides on proper dirt bike wheels and tires, with a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear tire of either CST or Maxxis rubber depending on configuration. Suspension is equally serious, featuring dual-chamber front air forks with 250 mm of travel and a rear air shock with a 90 mm stroke. Combined with 315 mm of ground clearance and a 35.8-inch seat height, the Komodo clearly is built to handle real off-road riding.
Talaria has also leaned heavily into electronics and control systems. The Komodo controller uses a high-voltage architecture and upgraded microprocessors for faster and more precise motor control. The dual Hall-sensor throttle design is a notable safety and reliability feature, offering redundancy and improved signal accuracy compared to the single-sensor setups commonly used across the industry. A high-resolution TFT display rounds out the cockpit with clear visibility and modern data presentation.
At 98 kg (216 lb) wet or dry, the Komodo is heavier than smaller electric dirt bikes, but that weight comes with more power, more battery, and more capability. Is it enough to demand the $5,699 asking price? That’s for you to decide.
