Talaria Sting R MX4 Review from a 72v Sur Ron owner!

My Talaria String R is available for pickup at Luna Cycle today. The performance out of the box is good enough for me as a first time ebike owner.

You surron guys are so funny… The difference is the R IS STOCK!!! It’s out the box … $14K VS. $4,500 ✋ it!

The aftermarket on the Talaria is pretty strong. Anything you want to do to a Sur Ron can be done to the Talaria. The Sur Ron definitely has a wider selection of the same parts, but TBH I haven't found anything lacking in the Talaria aftermarket. The reason I went with the MX3 (purchased back in '21) was because of the gearbox and the ability to fit a 100/90-19 in the rear without trimming. For me, the gearbox is necessary since I ride woods, enduro, and single track where mud would be a major issue for a belt drive. Regardless, ride what you have, have fun, and don't worry about what others are riding. My friend's MX4 arrives today so I'm pretty pumped to compare it to my MX3 especially when we hit the woods.

I'm on day 2 with mine, loving it so far.

Nice! Thanks for the review and opinions on this vs the solar eclipse. Just ordered this one 👍

Nice video. But you have to compare apples to apples. Obviously a 72 v system is going to outperform a 60V. Im purchasing a Talaria R. Keep up the good content

I don’t want to take my eyes off the road to try to read a wristwatch-size gauge next to the left handgrip. I’d pay extra to have a nice, readable little dashboard.

So its Way better than the Surron then,thanks I'll be going for the Talaria for sure cheers dude😊

the added weight is the upgraded battery 45ah vs 38 on sur ron etc. It has a gearbox vs belt pulley. I love my sting and will upgrade once i get it paid off lol. A lot of upgrades have already been applied and they fixed many of the complaints of sur ron and previous talaria so the appeal is strong!! Cut the wire and it will be a wheelie monster! My seat doesnt have the red etching though....did i get ripped? There are a lot of parts for this btw, many of the sur ron parts will work on here too.

Luna Cycle has lots of great bikes. Great review, thanks!

Nice review it looks fun

Lets go, i was going to ask u to make a video abt this earlier today

It would cool to see you do other offerings from lunacycle, they have a nice balance of price, quality, and tech. You're lucky you live right down the street.

Thats cool that they let you test drive it

waiting for your video to be the final review for why I buy one!

Looks like the seat is aftermarket, also the mud flap protecting the rear shock looks added. Like you kept saying it's heavier and its definitely noticeable I think the surron probably is worlds easier to wheelie. It's gotta be easier to pull up and control and balance a bike half your weight. Whereas the talaria is closer to my body weight. I think it makes for a better off roading platform tho. And they already have controllers and batteries all kinds of stuff for the talaria.

Of course your Sur Ron is going to be faster with more power, due to you spending $1000's on after market upgrades. What you should do is get a out of the box Sur Ron and compare that to the out of the box Talaria. Going on what we've seen its pretty obvious that if you upgraded the MX4 the same I'd bet money that it would piss all over the Sur Ron.

Have you done a side by side comparison between the solar e-clipse and the talaria?

Man now we have a talaria XXX.. you’re gonna need a bigger warehouse for all these bikes!!

the only deciding factor for me with the talaria sting r vs sur ron is the weight. I am not sure what to get. I want to be able to jump the bike and whip it around but I am on 5'7 and 120lbs what do you guys think I shoudl get?
