Head-to-head
79Bike Falcon Pro vs Altis Sigma
Altis Sigma 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Trail - Intermediate Real range not published by listed sources | 78 | $3,799+ $250 shipping (~$4,049 delivered) | 10 kW | 2.5 kWh | heavier riders needing real capacity, Falcon M owners upgrading |
Altis SigmaLimited Trail - Expert | 86 | $5,299 | 25 kW | 3.4 kWh | highest top-speed claim, expert trail riders |
What works
- 300 lb rated carrying capacity - the highest published in its price class and rare at any price
- 10 kW peak and 56 mph for $3,799, on the same 72V/35Ah LG pack as the discontinued Falcon M
- 200 mm Fastace inverted fork and a stated 12-month warranty on battery, motor, controller and frame
Trade-offs
- $250 shipping is disclosed only in the policy page - the real delivered cost is about $4,049
- 79Bike honours after-sales service only on bikes bought direct; buying through a dealer costs you factory support
- Thin support network and a maker that deleted its predecessor's product page without notice
What works
- Highest top-speed claim in the catalog: 97.2V, 25 kW peak, 80+ mph claimed for the fastest gearing (real-world ~70+ mph)
- Large 3,402 Wh Samsung 50S removable pack with a 3-hour full-charge claim
- Strong spec-per-dollar from a $4,799 manufacturer/REVRides price and multiple US dealer listings
Trade-offs
- Newer brand, so parts depth, resale, and owner history are far behind Sur-Ron or Talaria
- Off-road-only and expert-speed; this is not a beginner or casual trail bike
- Dealer prices and range language vary, so buyers should verify exact out-the-door price and current config
