The next Grizzly

From two motors. To one. Twice the bike.

The 2026 Grizzly 72V PPB carries forward six years of Grizzly DNA, then changes everything that matters. Here is exactly what is different.

Five things changed. Every one for the better.

Scroll through what is different. The image on the left swaps to match the spec you are reading.

  1. Step 01 . Motor peak power
    1,000W 8,000W

    One hub motor. Eight times the punch.

    The old Grizzly split its 1,000W of power across a front and rear hub motor. The new Grizzly 72V puts 8,000W into a single rear hub. Simpler drivetrain, lighter bike, more power on tap. The 95A sine-wave controller watches motor temperature so the bike never derates.

    +7,000W peak
  2. Step 02 . Top speed
    ~35 mph 60 mph

    From fast to faster than most off-road tires want to go.

    Display-unlocked 60 mph on private property. Zero to thirty in under five seconds. Every system on the bike, from brakes to display, was sized to match the new ceiling.

    +30 mph
  3. Step 03 . Battery
    ~1,440 Wh 3,240 Wh

    Two packs. Twice the day.

    A 1,800Wh downtube pack and a 1,440Wh top-tube pack, both running Samsung 21700 50GB cells. Each pack has its own BMS, 20-day deep sleep, and hardware-handshake charging. Two UL chargers in the box.

    2.25x capacity
  4. Step 04 . Brakes
    4-piston 6-piston 220mm

    Calipers built for 60 mph.

    XD TSL X6Max calipers on 220mm rotors, front and rear, 3mm of disc. Power-cutoff brake levers disconnect the motor the instant you grab the lever, so the stop starts before the pads make contact.

    Bigger discs
  5. Step 05 . Display
    Standard LCD TFT + camera + BT

    A new layer of cockpit.

    TFT color display. Forward-facing camera records to onboard memory. Bluetooth speaker pairs to your phone. Speed, range, dual-battery state, beam, and turn signals, all on one screen.

    New layer

Three numbers tell the whole story.

60 top speed~35 mph to 60 mph

The one trade-off

You lose AWD. You gain everything else.

The Grizzly 52V used two motors split front and rear for All-Wheel-Drive traction. The Grizzly 72V uses one 8,000W rear hub motor instead.

In exchange: 8x peak power, almost double the top speed, dual-battery range, six-piston brakes, and a TFT camera display. For private-property speed and range, the math is not close.
