Rigid. Stable. That is Sur-Ron's brief for the 2026 Light Bee X, and the spec sheet backs it up: the biggest year-on-year jump Sur-Ron has made on this platform since launch. A 10 kW PMSM mid-drive with MTPA/MTPV FOC control, 295 Nm at the wheel, a 50 mph (80 km/h) top speed, a higher-voltage 72 V battery, and a brand new 2-level Sur-Ron Wheelie Control (SWC) that gives less-experienced riders an easy, controlled way to pull and hold a wheelie. Same chassis you trust, more bike everywhere else. Top speed 50 mph Peak power 10 kW Torque 295 Nm Weight 59 kg Battery 72V 35Ah Charge (20-80%) 2.15 h What is new for 2026 10 kW peak power 295 N·m at the wheel 50 mph top speed 72 V architecture, less heat under load MTPA/MTPV FOC controller 2-level SWC wheelie assist Emergency Brake Alert taillight strobe Colours: White, Black, Purple, Green POWER 10kW mid-drive muscle The 10kW PMSM mid-drive puts 295 N·m through the rear wheel: 0 to 31 mph in 2.5 seconds and a 50 mph (80 km/h) top speed. CONTROL FOC intelligent controller The self-developed MTPA/MTPV FOC controller makes thousands of adjustments per second for smooth, predictable throttle, with adjustable power delivery, throttle curves and regen. BATTERY 72V 35Ah, 2.5kWh Higher voltage means less heat under sustained load. IP67 sealed, 50G shock resistant, removable for indoor charging, and 20 to 80% takes 2.15 hours. SUSPENSION Intersect TR rear suspension The fully adjustable Intersect TR rear system keeps the rear wheel tracking across rough terrain, with 85 mm of shock travel. FRONT END 200mm travel forks Inverted front forks with 200 mm of travel soak up the hits so the front stays planted on loose and demanding ground. BRAKING Four-piston stopping power Integrated forged opposed four-piston calipers deliver strong, consistent braking, and the emergency brake flash warns riders behind you under hard stops. WHEELIE CONTROL SWC wheelie assist, new for MY26 Sur-Ron Wheelie Control is a gyroscope-driven wheelie assist, not an anti-wheelie: it helps you lift the front to a balance point and hold a controlled wheelie on the throttle. Two assist levels plus off, and Sur-Ron says to toggle it off for jumps. Colourways The 2026 Light Bee X is offered in White, Black, Purple and Green, all proper paint rather than vinyl wrap.

Call or message us before you order if you have questions. Frequently asked questions What is new on the 2026 Light Bee X?10 kW peak power, 295 Nm of torque at the wheel, a 50 mph (80 km/h) top speed, a 72 V battery architecture, an MTPA/MTPV FOC controller, 2-level Sur-Ron Wheelie Control (assist), electronic gyroscope tilt protection, an emergency brake-light strobe, and White, Black, Purple and Green colour options. The chassis, wheel sizes and suspension platform carry over from the previous generation with minor revisions. Which Light Bee X should I buy?The MY26 bike is the current model and the one we recommend. We also have one final 2025 Light Bee X in Green at a reduced price while it lasts, select Green and the 2025 model year in the picker to see it. What is SWC and do I want it?SWC is Sur-Ron's Wheelie Control. Important: it is a wheelie ASSIST, not an anti-wheelie. The bike helps you pull and hold a controlled wheelie even if you have never done one before. A gyroscope reads the pitch angle and the controller manages power so the front comes up smoothly to a manageable balance point. You hold it with the throttle and ease off to set down. Adjustable across 2 levels and can be turned off entirely if you would rather ride without electronic assistance. Note: if you are confused, SWC (on Light Bee X and Ultra Bee) is the opposite of SAWC on the Hyper Bee, which keeps the front down for younger riders. How does Sur-Ron Wheelie Control (SWC) work?SWC is a wheelie assist, not an anti-wheelie. An onboard gyroscope reads the bike's pitch angle and the controller manages power delivery so the front lifts smoothly to a balance point, and you modulate the throttle to hold the wheelie or ease off to set the front back down. It has 2 assist levels plus off, and Sur-Ron advises turning it off for jumps where the front needs to come up on your timing, not the system's. What safety systems does the 2026 Light Bee X have?Electronic gyroscope tilt protection that cuts power if the bike tips past a defined angle, throttle override protection, power system high and low temperature protection, high and low voltage protection, overcurrent protection, side-stand protection that stops the motor running with the stand down, and an emergency brake flash that strobes the taillight under hard braking. Is the 2026 Light Bee X road legal in the UK?No. The Light Bee X is off-road only and not type-approved for UK public roads. It is for private land, MX tracks, motorsport venues and trail centres. We only sell off-road models. What finance options are available?We offer Payitmonthly finance over 12 months. Payitmonthly charge no interest and no fees, but the bike costs more when you buy it on finance: £99 more on the Hyper Bee, and £149 more on the Light Bee X, and £199 more on the Ultra Bee. That difference is ours, not theirs, and it is why we quote an APR rather than 0%. Everything is fixed for the 12 months, there is no deposit, and nothing is added later. Apply from the product page; a decision usually takes minutes. Representative 9.1% APR. Subject to status, 18+ UK residents only. Traction Bikes is a credit broker and not a lender. Full costs for every model are at /pages/finance. How long does delivery take?For UK warehouse models, delivery usually arrives within 2 to 3 working days. We can typically have the bike collected by our courier the next working day after you order, and delivered the working day after that. Delivery times are estimates and occasional delays can happen. China warehouse bikes usually take around 60 days from order, and may occasionally take a little longer if delays occur. Can I connect this bike to the Sur-Ron app?Our bikes cannot be connected to the Sur-Ron app due to technical limitations with product regions. This does not change the functionality of the bike, as the app is not needed for using the bike as usual. 2025 Light Bee X in Green: final unit You have selected the 2025 model year. We have exactly one brand new 2025 Light Bee X left, in Green, boxed and PDI checked, at a reduced price while it lasts. When it is gone, it is gone: every other bike we sell is the MY26 model shown under the 2026 option. 8 kW peak mid-drive power, 46 mph top speed 60V 40Ah (2,400 Wh) battery, around 46 miles of mixed riding 57 kg kerb weight, 828 mm seat height Ships from our UK warehouse in 2 to 3 working days, fully built Same Payitmonthly finance and extended warranty options as the MY26 bikes Important: like every bike we sell, the 2025 Light Bee X is off-road only and is not road legal in the UK in stock form. For private land, MX tracks, motorsport venues and trail centres.
