Head-to-head
79Bike Falcon M vs Rawrr Mantis X Pro
Rawrr Mantis X Pro leads on current VoltRipper Score, but rider fit, legality, budget, and support still decide the smarter buy.
| Bike | Score | Price | Peak power | Battery | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 79Bike Falcon M Trail - Intermediate | 66 | $3,699 | 8 kW | Not published | riders who want style + performance, Sur-Ron-class trail on a budget |
| Rawrr Mantis X Pro Trail - Intermediate | 83 | $4,499 | 15 kW | 2.5 kWh | high-speed trail, Storm-Bee-level power for less |
What works
- Distinctive retro/scrambler styling that stands out from the Sur-Ron/Talaria crowd
- 72V, 8 kW peak and a 50 mph top speed in a light ~130 lb package
- Fastace fork and a growing parts catalog
Trade-offs
- Battery capacity is under-published on the M vs. the Pro — confirm Ah before buying
- Smaller aftermarket and support than Sur-Ron
- Off-road only; no street kit as sold
What works
- 15 kW peak and 65+ mph — a big step above the base Mantis X for ~$4,499
- App-tunable Eco/Sport/Race modes, DOT hydraulic brakes, and IP66/IP55 sealing
- A real 1-year / 1,000-mile power-system warranty
Trade-offs
- 65 mph / 15 kW is a lot of bike for newer riders
- Heavier (~165 lb) than a Sur-Ron
- Younger brand than Sur-Ron/Talaria with a smaller aftermarket
- Hands-on testing has flagged slick stock knobbies on pavement and unused turn-signal controls
