For those who crave an unadulterated, electrifying experience on two wheels, Stealth Electric Bikes have consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible. Their latest marvel, the Stealth B52-R, isn’t merely an evolution; it’s a revolution, seamlessly merging man and machine into an ultra-high torque, high-speed powerhouse that promises a riding experience unlike anything else in this universe. This isn’t just an e-bike; it’s a declaration of intent, a thrilling extension of your physical capabilities, available in menacing Pitch Black or a vibrant Pitch Black/Fluro combination for those who dare to stand out.
At the heart of the B52-R’s extraordinary performance lies a new, ultra-silent, direct-drive BLDC hub motor. This beast delivers an astounding 7.5 kW of peak power and a mind-bending 230 Nm of torque – that’s a staggering 91% increase in torque over its already formidable predecessor. Translated into real-world terms, this means breathtaking acceleration and the ability to conquer even the most daunting inclines with disdain. All this raw power is unleashed with a whisper-quiet 40 dB of sound, ensuring your assault on the trails is felt, not heard. With a top speed of 95 km/h (60 mph), the B52-R blurs the lines between a high-performance electric mountain bike and a full-blown dirt bike, offering an adrenaline surge that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.
But power without control is chaos, and Stealth has meticulously engineered the B52-R for unparalleled precision and handling. Its robust monocoque steel chassis provides an unyielding foundation, built to shrug off the toughest terrain. The enduro-inspired suspension system is equally impressive, featuring 180mm of Fast Ace front travel and 200mm of rear travel, ensuring that even the most unforgiving trails feel like a smooth ribbon of asphalt. The 27.5” front and 21” rear knobby tires are designed to grip tenaciously, providing the confidence to push limits. And when it’s time to rein in this untamed power, the 250mm motorcycle-grade rotors and four-piston calipers provide immense stopping force, complemented by an adjustable regenerative-braking system that not only enhances control but also contributes to the bike’s impressive range.
Speaking of range, the B52-R is equipped with a 2.5 kWh battery pack, delivering approximately 60 km (37 miles) of exhilarating range per charge. And for those eager to get back into the action, the recharge time is a mere three hours from a standard 110-240V outlet. The bike’s sub-70 kg curb weight is a testament to its clever engineering, balancing trail agility with the necessary mass for high-speed stability – a critical factor when you’re hurtling down trails at velocity.
One of the most compelling features of the B52-R, distinguishing it from many high-powered electric counterparts, is its integrated 6-speed electromechanical sequential transmission. This isn’t just for show; it allows the rider to actively pedal the bike, significantly increasing both performance and range. It means you can choose to unleash the full electric might, or if you prefer, engage your own pedal power for extended adventures or a more traditional mountain biking experience. This synergy between rider and machine truly elevates the B52-R, offering a versatility rarely seen in this class.
