Evoque vs. Surron & Stark Electric Dirtbikes : Why the 2025 Lineup Wins

Beyond the Hype: Why Evoque’s Lineup is the Real Winner

In the rapidly evolving world of electric dirt bikes, big names like Surron, Talaria, and Stark often dominate the conversation. But when you strip away the marketing hype and look at the raw data—volts, amps, kilowatts, and dollars—a different picture emerges.

At Evoque, we don’t just build bikes to compete; we build them to win. Whether you are a trail weekend warrior or a speed demon, our lineup (The Bandit, The Raider, and The Outlaw) offers superior specs, more power, and better components for your hard-earned money.

Here is an honest, spec-by-spec breakdown of why Evoque takes the podium .

1. The Mid-Size King: Evoque Raider vs. Surron Light Bee X & Talaria Sting

For years, the Surron Light Bee X has been the benchmark. But in 2025, it’s showing its age. When you compare the Evoque Raider against the Light Bee X and even the new Talaria Sting MX5 Pro, the math is simple: We give you more bike for the same (or less) money.

The "Same Price, Double the Bike" Reality

Both the Evoque Raider and the Surron Light Bee X 2025 are priced at CAD $5,999. But that is where the similarities end.

• Voltage Victory: The Light Bee X is still stuck on a 60V system. The Raider comes stock with a 72V system. Higher voltage means higher efficiency, cooler running temps, and more top-end speed without needing thousands of dollars in aftermarket controller upgrades.

• Power Disparity: The Surron peaks at roughly 6-7kW. The Raider pushes a massive 15kW Peak Power. That isn't a small difference; it’s a different league of acceleration.

• Battery Superiority: The Raider packs a 72V 40Ah (2880 Wh) battery using premium Samsung 50S Cells. The Surron offers a smaller 60V 40Ah pack. You are getting significantly more range and discharge capability with the Raider right out of the box.

The Verdict: Why pay $5,999 for a 60V, 7kW bike when you can get a 72V, 15kW beast for the exact same price? The Raider makes the Light Bee X look like a toy.

2. The Agility Champion: Evoque Bandit vs. Talaria XXX & Light Bee

If you are looking for the ultimate agile trail bike, the Evoque Bandit is the undisputed value champion.

Priced at just CAD $5,599, the Bandit undercuts the competition while still delivering a 72V powertrain. Most competitors in this price range (like the Talaria XXX) force you to compromise with lower voltage or non-removable batteries.

• Torque Monster: With 380Nm of torque, the Bandit snaps off the line harder than bikes costing $1,000 more.

• Real Suspension: We use KKE Adjustable Suspension with 210mm of travel. Many budget competitors use downgraded forks that bottom out on hard hits. The Bandit is ready for real dirt, not just street riding.

• Full-Size Feel: With a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel setup, the Bandit rolls over obstacles easier than the smaller-wheeled options often found in the entry-level segment.

The Verdict: The Bandit proves you don't need to spend $6,000+ to get a 72V system and serious off-road capability.

3. The Heavyweight Contender: Evoque Outlaw vs. Surron Ultra Bee & Stark Varg

This is where things get serious. The "Big Bike" category is heating up with the Surron Ultra Bee and the Stark Varg. But before you drop $9,000 or $17,000, take a look at the Evoque Outlaw.

Outlaw vs. Ultra Bee

The Surron Ultra Bee is a great bike, but it sits in an awkward middle ground. It’s heavier than a Light Bee but lacks the raw voltage of a full-size mod.

• The 88V Advantage: The Evoque Outlaw ships with a massive 88V 50Ah battery. The Ultra Bee uses a 74V system. That extra voltage in the Outlaw translates to unmatched high-speed efficiency and a thrilling top end that leaves 74V bikes in the dust.

• Range Anxiety Cured: With 50Ah of capacity (approx 4.4 kWh), the Outlaw offers range that rivals full-size gas bikes. You can ride harder, for longer, without looking for a charger.

Outlaw vs. Stark Varg

The Stark Varg is an engineering marvel, but it comes with a terrifying price tag and maintenance complexity that scares off most recreational riders.

• Usable Power: The Varg boasts 80hp, which is impressive on a dyno but uncontrollable for 95% of riders on a trail. The Outlaw delivers professional-grade power that is actually usable in the woods, without the $15,000+ investment.

• Simplicity & Reliability: The Outlaw uses a robust, proven mechanical design that you can wrench on yourself. No proprietary software locks or dealership-only service tools required.

The Verdict: The Outlaw is the "Stark Killer" for the rest of us. It offers the massive 88V power and huge range you dream of, at a price that actually makes sense.
