Arctic Leopard XF and XE: The Cards Do Not Agree

The US pages list the XF near $3,700 at 12 kW, the XE Pro S at $5,100 or $5,450 at 20 kW, and the XE Pro R at $5,799 at 26.5 kW. The Pro S does not share one battery or one top speed. The Pro R prints 72 mph and 101 km/h. Those are not the same speed. None of them is a bicycle.

By SickEBike desk

The short answer

Arctic Leopard’s US pages list the XF near $3,700, the XE Pro S at $5,100 or $5,450, and the XE Pro R at $5,799. Peaks are 12, 20, and 26.5 kilowatts. None of those is a 750-watt bicycle. The Pro S pages do not share one battery or one top speed. The Pro R card prints 72 mph and 101 km/h. Those are not the same speed.

Arctic Leopard’s US site is selling electric dirt bikes, not Class 1, 2, or 3 bicycles. Opened 6 October 2026, the XF page says 12 kilowatts peak, 342 newton-meters, a 72-volt 35-amp-hour pack, 130 pounds, and 45 mph, from $3,699 and starting at $3,700. The XE Pro S product page says $5,100, 20 kilowatts, and a 74-volt 60-amp-hour pack. A compare table on the XF page prices that same S at $5,450. The XE Pro R product page says $5,799, 26.5 kilowatts, 700 newton-meters, 175 pounds, and a top speed of 72 mph and also 101 km/h. Seventy-two miles an hour is about 116 km/h. One hundred one km/h is about 63 mph. The card printed both. This desk did not ride one.

Arctic Leopard USA pages opened 6 October 2026. Where a second official URL disagrees, the second number stays in the cell. Dealer cards are not in this table.

The Pro S is three batteries and two speeds if you believe every card

Stay on Arctic Leopard’s own URLs and the S still will not sit still. The model page says starting at $5,100, peak 20 kilowatts and 26 hp, 62 mph, a range tile of 50 miles, and an estimated range of 50 to 60. The product page says $5,100, 20 kilowatts and 27 HP, 63 mph, and an estimated range of 40/50 miles. Twenty thousand watts divided by 746 is 26.8 horsepower. The page’s 26 and the product’s 27 are both labels. Neither is a second dyno. Front travel is 215 mm on the model-page suspension block and 200 mm on the product page. Do not average 62 and 63 into 62.5, and do not average $5,100 and $5,450 into a price the cart does not show.

The pack is the larger split, and it is not only a typo. Seventy-four times 60 is 4,440 watt-hours, and the model page’s 4.44 kWh line matches that. A tile on the same page says 4.4 kWh, which is the rounded one. Creature Racing’s 2026 S card, and All-Terrain Motorsports’ card, both print 72 volts and 55 amp-hours. Seventy-two times 55 is 3,960 watt-hours. Four thousand four hundred forty minus 3,960 is 480. That is a different tank, not a rounding. All-Terrain’s price is $5,450, which matches the compare table and not the $5,100 product page. Creature’s price is $5,100, marked down from $5,999 on that dealer page. Three prices, two packs. Buy the number on the invoice in front of you.

Twelve kilowatts is the XF. It is also the Light Bee’s watt-hours, not the Light Bee

Seventy-two times 35 is 2,520 watt-hours, and the XF page prints 2.52 kWh, so that line matches. The Light Bee X versus Ultra Bee page already filed a MY26 Light Bee at 10 kilowatts, 130 pounds, and the same 2,520 watt-hours, with a claimed 50 mph. The XF card is 12 kilowatts, the same 130 pounds, and 45 mph. Twelve minus 10 is 2 kilowatts. Fifty minus 45 is 5 mph, and those speeds are both claims. Same watt-hours and the same pound line are not the same bike. The XF page says a direct-drive brushless motor. It says the seat is 770 mm and, in parentheses, 33.3 inches. Seven hundred seventy divided by 25.4 is 30.3 inches. Thirty-three point three inches is 846 mm. The parenthesis does not match the millimeters. This desk is not picking a seat height the page did not.

The XF range block says 40 miles. The compare table on that page says 30 to 40. Two thousand five hundred twenty divided by 40 is 63 watt-hours a mile. Divided by 30 it is 84. Both are the claim, not a loop. Brakes are four-piston, 220 mm in front and 203 mm in the back. The brake page already treats a 203 mm rotor as the large bicycle disc. A 12-kilowatt dirt bike is past the job that disc was sized for on a commuter. The page does not print a fade test.

Arctic Leopard XF, XE Pro S, and XE Pro R graphic: 12 kW, 20 kW, and 26.5 kW, with conflicting Pro S battery cards
The sheet on this page. The XF card used here is 12 kilowatts peak, 72 times 35, which is 2,520 watt-hours, 17- and 14-inch wheels, and 130 pounds. The XE Pro S official line is 20 kilowatts and 74 times 60, which is 4,440. Some dealer cards print 72 times 55, which is 3,960. Four thousand four hundred forty minus 3,960 is 480. That is a different tank. The Pro R is 26.5 kilowatts, the same 4,440 watt-hours, 21- and 18-inch wheels, and 175 pounds. Seventy-two miles an hour is about 116 km/h. One hundred one km/h is about 63 mph. The card printed both. Off-road e-motos, not a Class 1, 2, or 3 bicycle. Published listings, not a ride.

The Pro R’s 72 mph line fails its own kilometer line

The R product page is the cleanest of the three on price: $5,799 in both places this desk read. Power is 26.5 kilowatts, printed as 35 HP. Twenty-six thousand five hundred watts divided by 746 is 35.5. The card’s 35 is that rounding, not a second measurement. Torque is 700 newton-meters, and the page does not say whether that is at the motor or the wheel. The S product page does say wheel. Do not subtract 600 from 700 and call it a test. Weight is 79 kg and 175 lb. Seat height is 870 mm and 34.3 inches. Eight hundred seventy divided by 25.4 is 34.3. That parenthesis matches. The R is direct-drive, 21 and 18 inch wheels, 240 mm rotors, four pistons, 215 mm of fork travel and 200 mm at the shock.

The speed line is the one that does not match itself. Seventy-two mph is about 116 km/h. The same line says 101 km/h, which is about 63 mph. The compare table says 72 mph and does not repeat the kilometers. Range is 50/60 miles on the product and 50 on the compare table. Electric Cycle Rider, 3 July 2026, rode a Pro R they describe as 74 volts, 60 amp-hours, and 26.5 kilowatts, in the Colorado mountains, and reported 30.9 miles to 8 percent. They also reported 5,531 feet climbed and 5,335 feet descended. Fifty minus 30.9 is 19.1. That ride is not a flat loop, and 8 percent is not empty. It is also not the 50-mile line, and it is not the 60. Their description says some early bikes needed a BMS calibration before the pack would give its full capacity, and that the update was on the bike they finished. A comment under the clip is not that result.

Electric Cycle Rider, 3 July 2026. Their measured result is 30.9 miles to 8 percent, in the Colorado mountains, on a Pro R they spec as 74V 60Ah and 26.5 kW. It is not a confirmation of the 50- or 60-mile claim, and it is not an XF or a Pro S.

A second public clip is the wrong spec if you are shopping the October page. GritShift, 24 October 2025, titles a review as the 2026 XE Pro S. The description on that video says a 72-volt 55-amp-hour pack, a QS gear-reduction motor, a Far Driver controller, an 18/21 wheel setup, 67 mph stock, and 33 miles of fast trail. Gear reduction is not the direct-drive sentence on the current US product page. Eighteen and 21 is the R’s wheel family, not the S’s 19/16. Sixty-seven is not 62 or 63. This desk is not embedding that clip as the bike on the $5,100 page. A viewer asked if it was the 2025. The video does not answer that on the card this desk read.

The XD and the XC are not a cart

The homepage still lists an XD as coming soon: 35 kilowatts, a 74-volt 75-amp-hour battery, KYB suspension, and a 21/18 wheelset. Seventy-four times 75 is 5,550 watt-hours. Thirty-five thousand divided by 750 is 46.7. There is no price, no weight, and no speed on that card. The same homepage still says the XC is revealing 19 September 2026. This page was opened 6 October 2026. That date has passed, and the homepage still had no watt, no pack, and no price under the XC. A reveal date that has already gone by, with no spec beside it, is not a bike.

Twelve, 20, and 26.5 kilowatts are the peaks the priced pages print. The homepage’s “up to 26.5” is the R. It is not a promise that the S is the R.

Do not buy any of them as a neighborhood bicycle. The class chart still stops at fewer than 750 watts and 28 mph with pedals. The XF is sixteen times that watt line. A street that treats an e-moto as a motor vehicle, the way Austin’s memo does on the Texas page, is the legal pile these cards belong in. The shopping pile is narrower. If the invoice says 74 volts and 60 amp-hours, that is 4,440 watt-hours. If it says 72 and 55, that is 3,960. If the top-speed line still says 72 mph and 101 km/h, ask which one the limiter uses before you pay the $5,799.

Questions people ask

Is the Arctic Leopard XF an e-bike?+

No. The US page says 12 kilowatts peak. Twelve thousand divided by 750 is 16. It is an electric dirt bike with a claimed 45 mph, not a Class 1, 2, or 3 bicycle.

How much is the Arctic Leopard XE Pro S?+

The product page says $5,100. A compare table on the XF page says $5,450. That is a $350 gap on Arctic Leopard’s own site. Do not average them.

What battery does the XE Pro S use?+

Arctic Leopard’s model page says 74 volts and 60 amp-hours, which is 4,440 watt-hours. Creature Racing and All-Terrain print 72 volts and 55 amp-hours, which is 3,960. The difference is 480 watt-hours.

How fast is the Arctic Leopard XE Pro R?+

The product page prints 72 mph and 101 km/h on the same line. Seventy-two mph is about 116 km/h. One hundred one km/h is about 63 mph. The compare table says 72 mph and drops the kilometers.
