The Mantis X Pro is an electric off road dirt bike built around a 72V 50S battery system and a PMSM motor that peaks at 15000 watts. According to the manufacturer, it can accelerate from 0 to 30 mph in 2.6 seconds and reach a top speed of more than 65 mph. The bike features a tunable controller with Eco, Sport, and Race ride modes, app based controls, adjustable suspension, and 220 mm front and rear hydraulic disc brakes. Additional specifications listed by the manufacturer include an aircraft grade aluminum alloy frame, integrated lighting, an estimated range of up to 62 miles in Eco mode depending on terrain and riding conditions, and a total weight of approximately 165 pounds including the battery.
The Freshly Charged Take
The Rawrr Mantis X Pro takes the proven Mantis X platform and implements some serious upgrades: peak motor output more than doubles to 15,000W, torque jumps to 288 ft-lb, top speed climbs from 50 to 65 mph, and the battery grows to a 72V 35Ah pack using higher quality 50S lithium-ion cells. The safety and lighting upgrades are equally significant: a genuinely bright front light, an added brake light and tail light, larger brake pads with more stopping surface, and a reinforced rear linkage that addresses a known failure point across the category. Real world range under hard riding came out to approximately 26 miles, with 62 miles available in Eco mode (according to Rawrr). The honest caveat is that the turn signal buttons are present but connect to nothing, the off road tires are dangerously slippery on smooth pavement until broken in, and the team felt upgrades to suspension and voltage should have been present for the asking price. Whether the $800 premium over the standard Mantis X is worth it comes down to how much the performance ceiling and safety upgrades matter to the buyer: for riders who want maximum power from the Rawrr lineup, the Pro is the clear answer.
