The CYKE Falcon X lives in the exciting, somewhat hard-to-define all-terrain e-bike class.
What is clear is that it’s built to roam off-road. Its powerful motor, slack geometry, long wheelbase, and 4.8″-wide fat tires make it conducive to riding across nearly any stretch of path in front of you. The
unique properties helped it feel capable in sandy or loose conditions with some clear potential for mud and snow. It’s a bike where the term “riding season” doesn’t apply.
I had a lot of fun with it on local fire roads and double track, and it has mild to intermediate singletrack abilities. I can see the bike’s capabilities translating well as a camping/overlanding/hunting machine—there are simply a lot of places it can go.
The motor was one of the bike’s defining elements; the Bafang M620 is one of the market’s most powerful mid-drive motors. It gives the Falcon X 1000W of power (1100W peak) and 160Nm of torque to play with, which helps it fly to fast speeds and easily climb hills once you get a hang of the shifting.
