TALARIA XXX

The Talaria XXX is the mainstream model of the XXX family: a 58kg off road electric dirt bike with a 60V 40Ah battery, the 95 percent efficient IPM motor from the Sting R, DNM suspension at both ends and a reinforced seat subframe for heavier riders. This is the Red Edition, the version most UK riders mean when they say triple X. Below you will find the full specification, an honest look at range and top speed, the UK rules on where it can be ridden, and how it compares with the Black Edition and the Pro.

Who the Talaria XXX is built for

Riders come to the XXX from two directions. Some are stepping up from a lightweight electric trail bike and want something with real suspension travel and a motor that will not fade halfway through an afternoon. Others are stepping across from a petrol trail bike and want the quiet, the instant torque and the near zero maintenance of electric without giving up the feel of a proper motorcycle chassis. The Talaria XXX serves both, and it does so at a weight that a single adult can lift into a van.

It is sold for riders aged 16 and over as an off road vehicle. There is no road legal version of the Talaria XXX; if you need a number plate, the road legal Talaria range is where to look. What the XXX gives you instead is an unrestricted machine for private land, practice tracks and organised events, with a specification that sits comfortably above its price bracket.

Specification at a glance

Every figure in this table comes from the manufacturer’s specification for the Talaria XXX Red Edition. Weight is quoted with the 40Ah battery fitted.

DNM suspension and the reinforced subframe

The standard Talaria XXX ships with DNM suspension front and rear, each offering 8 inches of travel. That is roughly 200mm, which puts it in the same territory as a small capacity petrol trail bike and comfortably ahead of the bicycle derived forks found on lighter electric machines. Talaria notes that the factory fork may be substituted for the DNM unit depending on production batch, so the exact branding on the fork legs can vary. The travel figure does not.

Rear end design

The Talaria XXX uses a single pivot swingarm acting directly on the rear shock. It is a simple, light and easy to service layout that keeps the number of bearings and bushes to a minimum. The trade off is a more linear feel through the stroke than a linkage rear end can provide. The XXX Pro 2025 moved to a new linkage design with 160mm of travel for exactly that reason, so if you spend most of your time on rough enduro terrain it is worth reading that listing too.

The heavyweight subframe

This Talaria XXX Red Edition carries what Talaria calls the heavyweight seat subframe, a strengthened rear section developed for larger riders. The manufacturer rates the bike for riders up to 100kg. Bigger riders, or anyone who regularly lands flat from jumps, will notice the difference in how the seat unit stays rigid under load compared with the original X3 Concept frame.

The 95 percent efficient IPM motor

The motor is the reason many people choose a Talaria XXX over the alternatives. It is the same interior permanent magnet unit fitted to the Sting R, and Talaria built it to fix the two failures that plagued first generation electric dirt bike motors: magnets working loose from the rotor, and hall sensors falling off or failing under heat. Buried magnets and a magnetic encoder in place of hall sensors deal with both.

Why efficiency matters on a dirt bike

A motor that turns 95 percent of the electricity it draws into motion wastes very little as heat. On a hard climb that means it keeps pulling where a less efficient motor would enter thermal cutback. It also means more of the battery’s 2400 watt hours reach the rear wheel, which is why the Talaria XXX outperforms bikes with a similar capacity pack on range. Talaria quotes a peak output of 6000W, with 5500W sometimes cited for earlier batches.

Headroom for controller upgrades

Because the IPM motor spins to higher RPM than the older surface magnet design and tolerates more current, it responds well to an aftermarket controller. Owners who later fit a higher output unit report a broader power curve rather than a peaky one. Our Talaria controller upgrade guide explains the options, what each one changes, and what it means for the warranty.

40Ah battery and real world range

The Talaria XXX battery is a 60V pack rated at 40Ah maximum and 38.4Ah nominal. Inside are 128 LG M50 21700 cells arranged 16 in series and 8 in parallel, giving roughly 2400 watt hours. Talaria positions the pack low and long in the frame so its mass sits between the wheels rather than high under the seat, which is a large part of why the bike changes direction so willingly for its weight.

What 60 to 80 km actually means

The Talaria XXX quoted range of 60 to 80 kilometres is measured at a steady 25 km/h on flat ground. Ridden hard on a motocross loop with full throttle out of every corner, expect a fraction of that. Ridden on rolling farm tracks with a mix of speeds, most owners see somewhere between the two. Our Talaria range guide explains how terrain, rider weight, tyre pressure and regenerative braking level each shift the figure.

Removing the pack

The battery is built into the frame. It comes out in around five minutes once you have removed the rear wheel and released the quick release on the rear suspension. For most owners it stays in place and the bike is charged as a whole, but the option is there for indoor charging, shipping or storage over winter. When a pack eventually reaches end of life, follow the UK guidance on battery disposal rather than putting it in household waste.

Talaria XXX top speed and the limiter question

As delivered, the talaria xxx top speed is around 47mph, which is 75 km/h. That figure is with the factory speed limiter in place and the 40Ah battery at a healthy state of charge. It is quick enough to be genuinely fast on a trail and is well matched to the 220mm brakes and 8 inches of travel.

Removing the limiter

The limiter can be removed, and the manufacturer states the bike will exceed 40mph by a wider margin once it is gone. We do not recommend it and we do not carry out the modification. Removing the limiter puts the bike outside its designed operating envelope, increases wear on the drivetrain, shortens range, and is done entirely at the owner’s risk. If you want more speed, the honest route is a bike designed for it, not a modified XXX.

Wheels, tyres and braking

The Talaria XXX Red Edition rolls on 17 inch supermoto wheels. The front carries a 70/90 tyre on a 1.6 inch rim and the rear a 90/80 tyre on a 2.15 inch rim. On firm surfaces, gravel and dry trails the setup is fast and stable, and on tarmac practice areas it gives a level of grip a knobbly tyre cannot. For soft mud or sand, many owners swap to a 19 inch front and 17 inch rear with off road tyres, which is the setup the XXX Pro uses from the factory.

Braking system

Four piston hydraulic callipers grip 220mm rotors at both ends. Talaria calls them giant rotors and on a 58kg bike the description is fair; a single finger on the front lever is enough for most trail braking. Four levels of regenerative braking add engine braking feel and put a little energy back into the pack on long descents. Level one is barely noticeable and level four is strong enough to slow the bike meaningfully before you touch the lever.

Lighting

A bright headlight with a three position switch handles dip, main and off. It is fitted for visibility at dusk on private land and at organised night events, not as road equipment; the bike has no indicators, mirrors or number plate mount because it is not intended for the road.

Where you can ride it in the UK

The Talaria XXX is an off road vehicle. In the UK that means it cannot be ridden on public roads, byways open to all traffic, bridleways, footpaths, cycle paths or pavements. Green lanes are public highways in law and are off limits to an unregistered machine. Where it can be ridden is private land with the landowner’s permission, dedicated practice tracks, and organised events. The Auto Cycle Union lists affiliated clubs and venues that run off road practice days and competition, and many now have electric classes.

If you are 16 and want something for the road as well as the trail, an L1e moped class Talaria is the answer; it requires CBT, a provisional licence, registration, insurance and a helmet, as set out on the GOV.UK moped page. Our guide to whether Talarias are legal in the UK walks through both routes in plain language.

Red, Black or Pro: which XXX?

Three XXX variants sit in the range and the differences are narrower than the names suggest. The Red Edition on this page is the standard bike. The XXX Black Edition carries an identical mechanical specification with a black finish; choose between them on looks and availability. The XXX Pro 2025 is the genuine step up, with the linkage rear suspension, off road wheels, a triple LED headlight, a colour TFT display and a handlebar kill switch. The full XXX and X3 category shows all of them side by side.

A note on names

Talaria XXX, Talaria xXx, Talaria X3 and talaria triple x all describe the same family. Some listings elsewhere label the Red Edition as a talaria xxx 2025 because it remained on sale into that model year, but the specification above is the one that matters, whatever the year in the title.

Frequently asked questions

How fast does the Talaria XXX go?

The Talaria XXX runs to around 47mph, or 75 km/h, with the factory limiter fitted and the 40Ah battery well charged. Talaria confirms the bike will exceed 40mph by a wider margin with the limiter removed, but that modification is done at the owner’s risk and we do not recommend it. Speed on loose surfaces will be lower and depends on tyre choice and terrain.

Is the Talaria XXX road legal in the UK?

No. The Talaria XXX is sold as an off road vehicle only and cannot be ridden on any public road, byway, bridleway, footpath or pavement. It is for private land with the landowner’s permission and for organised venues. If you need a road legal Talaria, look at the L1e and L3e Sting models, which are registered, plated and insured for public roads.

What is the difference between talaria triple x and Talaria X3?

None in terms of the underlying platform. Triple X is simply how people say XXX out loud, and X3 is the retail shorthand. The X3 Concept is the original specification of the bike and is offered with a 25Ah or 40Ah battery. The XXX Red Edition on this page is the developed version with DNM suspension, the reinforced subframe and the 40Ah battery as standard.

How long does the 40Ah battery take to charge?

A full charge from empty on the supplied charger is best planned as an overnight job. Charge time scales with how far the pack has been discharged, so topping up after a short ride is much quicker. Charge in a dry, ventilated space away from anything flammable and allow the pack to cool for a few minutes after a hard session before connecting the charger.

What is the maximum rider weight?

The Red Edition is fitted with the reinforced heavyweight seat subframe and the manufacturer rates it for riders up to 100kg. Heavier riders will still find the suspension and brakes cope, but the frame rating is the figure to respect for warranty purposes. Lighter riders may want to soften the rear shock preload from its factory setting.

Can I swap the supermoto wheels for off road wheels?

Yes. The XXX Pro uses 19 inch front and 17 inch rear off road wheels on the same platform, and many Red Edition owners fit a similar set for soft ground. The 220mm rotors and four piston callipers carry across. Talk to us before ordering wheels so we can confirm the spacer and axle fit for your production batch.
