Arctic Leopard XF: 12 kW, and the Speed Line Is 45 or 60

The US page says 12 kilowatts, 130 pounds, and 45 mph, from $3,699. A February review says 60 mph and 132 pounds. An April writeup says 60 mph and 125 pounds. The pack they share is 72 volts and 35 amp-hours. It is not a bicycle.

The short answer

The Arctic Leopard XF is a 12-kilowatt electric dirt bike, not a bicycle. The US page, opened 6 October 2026, says about $3,700, 130 pounds, and 45 mph. Charged Cycle Works, 14 February 2026, says 60 mph and 132 pounds. GritShift, 3 April 2026, says 60 mph and 125 pounds. The pack all three name is 72 volts and 35 amp-hours, which is 2,520 watt-hours.

The Arctic Leopard XF is the small one. The US page, opened 6 October 2026, says 12 kilowatts peak, a direct-drive motor, 342 newton-meters, a 72-volt 35-amp-hour pack, 130 pounds, 17- and 14-inch wheels, and 45 mph. The price on that page is from $3,699 and starting at $3,700. Twelve thousand watts divided by 750 is 16. It is not a Class 1, 2, or 3 bicycle. The speed is the line that does not hold. Charged Cycle Works, 14 February 2026, says the same 12 kilowatts and the same pack, then 60 mph and 132 pounds. GritShift, 3 April 2026, says 60 mph and 125 pounds. Forty-five, 60, and 60 again. Do not average them into 55.

A Sur-Ron Light Bee X electric dirt bike
A Sur-Ron Light Bee X, already on this site. Not the Arctic Leopard XF. The Light Bee card is the same 2,520 watt-hours, at 10 kilowatts rather than 12.

US page opened 6 October 2026. Charged Cycle Works is a video dated 14 February 2026. GritShift is a post dated 3 April 2026. A blank is a number that source did not print.

The seat parenthesis matches the review, not the millimeters

Seven hundred seventy millimeters divided by 25.4 is 30.3 inches. The US page’s own parenthesis says 33.3 inches, which is 846 millimeters. Charged Cycle Works prints 33.25 inches and 845 millimeters. Thirty-three and a quarter times 25.4 is 845. Those two agree with each other. They do not agree with 770. The gap from 770 to 845 is 75 millimeters, about 3 inches. This desk did not measure a seat. A buyer standing over the bike can. Do not publish 807 as the middle.

The pounds are the same kind of problem, smaller. One hundred thirty-two minus 130 is 2. One hundred thirty minus 125 is 5. Charged Cycle Works is the only one of the three that says the weight was verified, and they still did not land on the page’s 130. The pack is the number that does sit still. Seventy-two times 35 is 2,520 watt-hours on every card that printed both figures. Two thousand five hundred twenty divided by the page’s 40-mile claim is 63 watt-hours a mile. Divided by 30, the low end of the compare table, it is 84. That is the claim. Nobody in these three sources rode that loop for this desk.

Charged Cycle Works, 14 February 2026. They price it at $3,699, say 60 mph, 132 pounds, and a seat of 33.25 inches. The US page says 45 mph, 130 pounds, and 770 mm. This is their ride, not a desk test.

Same tank as the Light Bee card, not the same bike

The Light Bee X versus Ultra Bee page already has a MY26 Light Bee at 10 kilowatts, 130 pounds, and this same 2,520 watt-hours, with a claimed 50 mph. The XF’s US card is 2 kilowatts more, the same 130 pounds, and 5 mph less than that Light Bee claim. Twelve minus 10 is 2. Fifty minus 45 is 5. GritShift’s 125 pounds and 60 mph would reverse both of those gaps, which is why they stay in the table and not in the subtraction. The S and the R, including the $350 price fight and the 72 mph line that does not match its own kilometers, are on the family page.

Forty-five on the page. Sixty on the February ride and the April post. The limiter in the bike you are looking at is the one that counts.

GritShift also says a 520 chain. Charged Cycle Works says a 428. The US page, in the lines this desk used, does not name the chain. Two reviewers are not a spec. Brakes on the US page are four-piston, 220 mm in front and 203 mm in back. Torque is 342 newton-meters there and 340, at the wheel, in the April post. Two newton-meters is not a test. Pay the price on the cart, and ask which speed is actually limited before you treat 60 as the bike you were sold.
