2025 Arctic Leopard XE PRO S: A Serious Contender in the Electric Dirt Bike Game

The electric dirt bike scene has exploded in recent years, with options ranging from budget play bikes to near-pro-level race machines. For 2025, Arctic Leopard is throwing down hard with the new XE PRO S—a purpose-built electric dirt bike that wants to be more than just another e-moto in the pack.

After reviewing the specs, it’s clear this isn’t some rebadged pit bike with a battery strapped on. The XE PRO S is designed with real trail riding (and possibly even competition) in mind. Let’s dig into what makes this bike stand out, where it’s strong, and what kind of rider will get the most out of it.

⚡ Powertrain and Drivetrain

At the heart of the XE PRO S is an electric motor with integrated gearbox. While exact placement details haven’t been officially confirmed, the inclusion of a gearbox is a big deal. Most cheaper e-motos rely on direct-drive setups that can be twitchy or limited in torque delivery.

✅ Integrated gearbox means smoother, more usable power, especially in technical terrain.

✅ Paired with a Far Driver controller, known for reliable, tunable output with Bluetooth app support for easy adjustments.

Power delivery can be dialed to your preference using multiple ride modes selectable via the TFT display. Whether you want mellow torque for tight singletrack or aggressive power for open terrain, you’re covered.

🔋 Battery and Range

The XE PRO S runs a 72V 55Ah lithium-ion pack, offering a healthy 3960Wh of capacity. That’s competitive with serious electric dirt bikes on the market today.

✅ Removable design with reinforced bracing means easier charging off the bike (great for van-life riders or apartment dwellers).

✅ Arctic Leopard clearly took durability seriously—the battery mount is reinforced to survive rough trail abuse.

Range will vary by terrain and throttle use, but on paper it’s ready for real trail rides, not just backyard laps.

🛞 Suspension: Built to Soak Up the Hits

One of the places the XE PRO S really impresses is its suspension spec.

✅ Front: KKE fork with ~200mm of travel

✅ Rear: KKE shock with ~210mm of travel, fully adjustable for preload and damping

These numbers are real dirt bike travel, not compromised “e-bike-ish” specs. The adjustability matters too: you can tune it for your weight, riding style, and terrain, whether that’s rock gardens or big jumps.

🏁 Brakes and Wheels

Stopping power is another area Arctic Leopard didn’t skimp on.

✅ Hydraulic disc brakes with 220mm rotors front and rear deliver serious bite and heat management.

✅ Wheels: 19” front and 18” rear, using full-size OEM dirt bike tire dimensions.

This isn’t a minibike. Those wheel sizes make it feel and handle like a proper motocross/enduro machine while giving you tons of aftermarket tire options.

🏍️ Chassis and Geometry

A detail often overlooked on cheaper electric dirt bikes is geometry. Arctic Leopard calls out a ~1.75″ longer swingarm compared to something like the Ventus One Plus.

✅ That extra length brings improved stability at speed and better rear-wheel traction when accelerating out of turns.

✅ Seat height around 830mm strikes a balance: tall enough for ground clearance, but approachable for many riders.

✅ Overall weight of ~159 lbs (72 kg) keeps it light compared to gas bikes but substantial enough to feel planted.

And importantly: Chain drive. No belt here—this is a real dirt bike approach that handles mud, rocks, and jumps without belt stretch or slip.

📱 Electronics and Control

The Far Driver controller is one of the most popular aftermarket e-moto controllers for good reason:

✅ Bluetooth app support lets you fine-tune power delivery, regen braking, and throttle curves.

✅ Multiple ride modes selectable via the TFT display keep it rider-friendly on the trail.

Whether you’re learning or pushing hard, you can shape the bike’s personality to match your skill and conditions.

🔥 Strengths of the 2025 Arctic Leopard XE PRO S

• Serious, long-travel suspension with full adjustability

• Far Driver controller with app-based tuning

  
  

  ⚠️ Potential Weaknesses or Considerations

  
  

• Exact motor placement and specs not fully confirmed at launch

• Weight (72 kg) is light for a dirt bike, but heavy for an e-bike—some might want lighter for tight singletrack

• Chain drive means more maintenance than a belt, but that’s the tradeoff for true off-road strength

• As with all e-motos, range depends on how aggressively you ride

🎯 Who is This Bike For?

✅ Riders who want a real dirt bike feel with electric power

✅ Those who need long-travel suspension for hitting jumps, whoops, rock gardens

✅ Riders who prefer chain drive durability over belt simplicity

✅ People who want adjustable power delivery via an easy-to-use app

✅ Anyone looking for a serious off-road machine, not a toy

The 2025 Arctic Leopard XE PRO S isn’t playing around. It’s not just an e-bike with knobbies—it’s a purpose-built electric dirt bike with real travel, real brakes, real wheels, and the powertrain to match.

If you want an electric dirt bike that can handle serious riding, the XE PRO S deserves a close look.

It’s not the cheapest. It’s not the lightest. But it’s built to ride hard.
