Light. 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.

2026 Sur-Ron Light Bee X 10 kW PMSM mid-drive motor

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.

MTPA/MTPV FOC controller on the 2026 Light Bee X

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.

Removable 72V 35Ah battery on the 2026 Light Bee X

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.

Intersect TR rear suspension on the 2026 Light Bee X

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.

Inverted front forks with 200 mm travel on the 2026 Light Bee X

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.

Forged opposed four-piston brake calipers on the 2026 Light Bee X

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.

UK delivery, finance and warranty

UK warehouse bikes arrive boxed in 2 to 3 working days with free mainland UK delivery, PDI checked before dispatch, when UK stock is available. China warehouse orders ship direct from Sur-Ron's factory with a 40 to 60 day lead time. Current prices for both always show in the picker above.

Build Service, free: we will fully build and PDI-test your bike before it leaves us at no extra cost. Built bikes cannot be posted, so you collect from us or book your own courier. Shiply lists specialist motorbike couriers, averaging around £150 per delivery. Message us on WhatsApp before you order: depending on where you are we may be able to deliver the built bike ourselves, or point you to a courier we rate. Prefer free delivery? Choose delivered boxed and we ship to your door free of charge: the bike arrives almost fully built, with only the front wheel and handlebars to attach.

Pay by card or PayPal with full buyer protection, or spread the cost over 12 months with Payitmonthly. Extended warranty optional, with Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers covering 1 or 2 additional years.

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 8.8% 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.
