TALARIA KOMODO 2025

The Talaria Komodo 2025 is the most powerful bike Talaria has built, a 32 kW peak, 97.2 V mid weight off road electric motorcycle on a forged alloy chassis with 21 inch and 18 inch wheels. Sold in the UK by The Talaria UK, a specialist retailer, it arrives assembled, inspected and covered by our UK warranty. This guide sets out what the Talaria Komodo is, how it performs, what the numbers mean in practice and who it suits.

Where the Komodo sits in the range

Talaria launched the Komodo, model code TL6000, to press and distributors on 17 April 2025, with UK deliveries following from the summer. It is a deliberate step up from everything else in the catalogue. The Sting R MX4 and the Sting MX5 Pro are light, agile trail bikes in the 60 V and 72 V classes. The Talaria Komodo runs a 97.2 V system, weighs 98 kg without rider and produces around three times the peak power of a Sting R.

Talaria positions the Komodo against petrol dirt bikes in the 350 cc to 450 cc bracket rather than against other electric trail bikes. That framing is fair. With 754 Nm of torque measured at the rear wheel and a forged alloy frame built to take repeated hard landings, this is a komodo electric bike for riders who already have serious off road experience and want a machine that does not run out of ideas on open ground.

Motor, controller and torque

The heart of the Talaria Komodo is a mid mounted, air cooled permanent magnet synchronous motor. Talaria rate it at 8.6 kW continuous and 32 kW peak, which works out to roughly 43 hp at full output. Motor shaft torque exceeds 90 Nm at peak, and after the primary gearbox and the 520 chain final drive the figure quoted at the rear wheel is 754 Nm. That is the number that governs how the bike leaves a corner.

A primary gearbox lets the Komodo run 14 or 15 tooth front and 50 or 53 tooth rear sprockets while still delivering that torque figure, and a 520 chain guide shields the drive from rock strikes.

The Komodo controller

Talaria developed a dedicated controller for the Talaria Komodo rather than scaling up an existing Sting unit. It uses 36 high power MOSFETs on a 140 V platform, so the electronics have headroom well above the nominal 97.2 V pack voltage and can hold peak current without derating early. The main processor is an M4 core microcontroller, which gives the firmware enough computing power to run more sophisticated field oriented control than older single core designs.

Dual hall throttle

Most electric motorcycles use a single hall sensor in the throttle. The Talaria Komodo uses two, with automatic switching if one signal fails and cross checking between them to filter out noise from electromagnetic interference, temperature drift and vibration. In practice that means a throttle that holds a steady input on rough ground and does not surge or drop out when the bike is being shaken about.

Battery, charging and range

The Talaria Komodo carries a removable 97.2 V, 45 Ah lithium ion pack, which gives a usable capacity of about 4.4 kWh. Cells are Samsung 50S or LG H51 21700 units depending on production batch, both of which are high discharge cells chosen for sustained current rather than headline capacity alone. The pack weighs 24.5 kg and is sealed to IP67, so river crossings and pressure washing are not a concern.

Talaria quote a range of 115 km, about 71 miles, at a steady 45 km/h. Treat that as the upper bound. On a technical trail in Hyper mode with a heavier rider you should plan for a good deal less, while gentle green lane pace with regen engaged will get you closer to the figure. Because the Talaria Komodo pack is removable, a second battery is the simplest way to double a day out.

Charging

Talaria state a charge time of approximately 1.5 hours with the supplied high output charger. Real world times depend on how deeply the pack has been discharged and on the ambient temperature, since the battery management system slows charging when cells are cold. Allow the pack to rest after a hard ride before plugging in, and store it at partial charge if the bike is going to sit for a few weeks.

Regenerative braking

A thumb button cycles through four levels of regenerative braking. At the lowest setting the bike freewheels. At the highest it slows noticeably the moment you roll off, feeding energy back into the pack and taking load off the rear disc on long descents.

Talaria Komodo top speed and ride modes

The manufacturer figure for Talaria Komodo top speed is 105 km/h, which is about 65 mph. That speed is reached in Hyper mode on the standard gearing and is limited by the controller rather than by the motor running out of revs. For riders who want to know exactly how the limiter, gearing and tyre choice interact, our Komodo top speed article walks through it.

Talaria also publish acceleration figures of 0 to 30 mph in 1.9 seconds and 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, both manufacturer numbers taken under controlled conditions.

Eco, Sport, Hyper and Reverse

• Eco softens throttle response and caps power for extended range and for riders who are still learning the bike.
• Sport is the everyday trail setting, with full torque available but a progressive map.
• Hyper unlocks the full 32 kW peak and the sharpest throttle response.
• Reverse walks the bike backwards at low speed, useful for a 98 kg machine on a slope or in a trailer.

Modes are confirmed on the 320 DPI TFT display, which has a 167 degree viewing angle so it stays legible in low sun.

Chassis, suspension and brakes

The Talaria Komodo frame is forged aluminium alloy, chosen for its resistance to fatigue under repeated impact. Talaria have built a chassis that stays straight rather than one that is as light as possible. At 2,200 mm long, 810 mm wide and 1,220 mm tall, with a 1,380 mm wheelbase, the bike is full size, and the 910 mm seat height and 315 mm ground clearance put it squarely in enduro territory. Maximum load is rated at 160 kg.

Front fork

The Talaria Komodo front end is a dual chamber air fork with 43 mm stanchions, 850 mm overall length and 250 mm of travel. Dual chamber means the positive and negative air springs are adjusted independently, so initial sensitivity and bottom out resistance are tuned separately. Set sag in full kit before touching the damping.

Rear shock

Out back is a 350 mm air shock with 90 mm of stroke working through the linkage, and a spring rate range of 500 to 720 lb to suit riders from light to heavy, a meaningful advantage on a bike that will see everything from tight woods to fast fire roads.

Wheels, tyres and brakes

Rims are 1.6 x 21 at the front and 2.15 x 18 at the rear, shod with CST rubber, 70/100 and 90/100, or Maxxis, 80/100 and 110/90, depending on the batch. Braking is by hydraulic discs at both ends, with Talaria quoting braking efficiency of 3.64 metres per second squared at the front and 3.09 at the rear. Turning radius is 2.1 m and steering lock exceeds 45 degrees each way.

Is the Komodo road legal in the UK?

The Talaria Komodo 2025 sold on this page is an off road model. It is not type approved as an L category vehicle, it carries no lights, indicators, horn or number plate mount, and it cannot be registered with the DVLA. In the UK that means it may only be ridden on private land with the landowner’s permission. It cannot be used on public roads, byways, bridleways, footpaths or pavements. Searches for talaria komodo road legal are common, so it is worth being direct.

The rules are set out in EU Regulation 168/2013, which the UK retains, and in the GOV.UK guidance on riding a motorcycle or moped. A vehicle with 32 kW peak power sits well outside the L1e moped class and the L3e A1 125 class in any case. Talaria have not released a homologated road version of the Komodo at the time of writing, and road legal availability is confirmed at the point of order if that changes.

Where you can ride

Private motocross tracks, enduro venues, farmland with permission and organised practice days are all open to a Talaria Komodo, and the Auto Cycle Union lists affiliated clubs, many of which now run electric classes. If road use matters, our road legal Talaria range covers the Sting L1e and L3e models, and the guide to whether Talarias are legal in the UK explains the licence and registration position for each class.

Buying a Komodo from The Talaria UK

Every Talaria Komodo we supply goes through a pre delivery inspection in our workshop before it is crated: torque checks on axles, linkage and bars, chain tension and alignment, brake bleed, a firmware check on the controller and display, tyre pressures and a full charge cycle on the battery. The bike arrives ready to ride.

Delivery and warranty

We offer UK mainland delivery, with timescales confirmed at checkout. The Talaria Komodo is covered by our UK warranty, with full terms on the warranty page. Because we hold Komodo specific parts including controllers, displays and battery packs, warranty work is handled in the UK. Finance is available at checkout, subject to status.

Who the Komodo is for

Choose the Talaria Komodo if you ride fast open terrain, weigh enough that a Sting feels undersprung, or want an electric bike that keeps pace with a 450 on a track. Choose a Sting R or MX5 Pro if you mostly ride tight woodland or need to lift the bike over obstacles regularly. A 98 kg machine with 754 Nm rewards commitment and punishes hesitation.

Frequently asked questions

How fast is the Talaria Komodo?

Talaria quote a top speed of 105 km/h, about 65 mph, in Hyper mode on standard gearing. The limit is set by the controller. Acceleration figures published by Talaria are 0 to 30 mph in 1.9 seconds and 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds under test conditions. On loose surfaces the limiting factor becomes tyre grip well before you run out of power.

What range does the Talaria Komodo battery give?

The 97.2 V 45 Ah pack holds about 4.4 kWh and Talaria rate it at 115 km, roughly 71 miles, at a steady 45 km/h. Aggressive trail riding in Hyper mode will reduce that considerably. The pack is removable, so carrying a spare is the practical answer for long days, and the four level regen recovers a useful amount on descents.

Is it spelled Komodo or Comodo?

The correct name is Talaria Komodo with a K, after the Komodo dragon. Talaria comodo is a common misspelling that appears in searches, forums and classified listings. Whichever spelling you use to find us, the bike on this page is the genuine TL6000 Komodo supplied through The Talaria UK.

How heavy is the Komodo compared with a Sting R?

The Talaria Komodo weighs 98 kg without rider, with 24.5 kg of that in the battery. A Sting R MX4 sits in the mid 60 kg region. The difference is noticeable when lifting the bike or picking it up after a fall, but on the move the forged chassis and the long travel suspension carry the extra mass well, and the additional weight helps traction on fast ground.

Can I ride the Komodo on the road with a CBT?

No. The Komodo sold here is an off road model with no type approval, so it cannot be registered, insured or ridden on any public road, byway or bridleway regardless of what licence you hold. It is for private land with the landowner’s permission. For road use, look at the Sting L1e or L3e models, which are homologated and can be registered and ridden with the appropriate licence.

What suspension does the Komodo use?

The front is a 43 mm dual chamber air fork with 250 mm of travel and independent positive and negative chambers. The rear is a 350 mm air shock with 90 mm of stroke and a spring rate range of 500 to 720 lb. Both ends are adjustable enough to set the bike up for riders of very different weights without changing hardware.

Does the Komodo come with a warranty in the UK?

Yes. Every Komodo supplied by The Talaria UK is covered by our UK warranty, with full terms on the warranty page. We stock Komodo specific parts including the controller, display and battery pack, so any claim is handled in the UK by technicians who work on these bikes every week rather than being sent abroad.
