VTRON Trail X6 Review – This 96V E-Moto Shines Off-Road

It’s 2025, and we get to welcome yet another new competitor to the ultra-competitive and rapidly growing lightweight electric dirt bike class. The VTRON Trail X6.

Now let me start out by stating the obvious. I know it, and you know it. This is a catalog bike. But that is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, the e-motos we all know and love – like the E-Ride Pro, the Surron Light Bee, and the Talaria Sting – are also catalog bikes. 

VTRON has a couple of different versions of this bike. There’s the X3, which features a 72 Volt, 30 Amp hour battery, and there’s this bike, the X6, which has a 96 Volt, 30 Amp hour battery. You can also choose between an off-road spec or a street-legal spec. 

I tested the off-road version with the 19-inch front wheel, 16-inch rear wheel, and 58-tooth sprocket at the back. I have not tested the street-legal version yet, but it will be coming out a little later in the year, so I’ll cover that when it comes out. 

With the 96 Volt version of this bike, you get a claimed peak power of around 12 kiloWatts, and a claimed range of roughly 20 to 40 miles, depending on how you ride it, and what mode you’re in. 

Speaking of modes, you have the typical eco and sport mode. The X6 has a weight of around 154 pounds, which is typical for the class. You also get adjustable hydraulic suspension, front and rear, as well as a seat height of around 33 inches, which is also typical of this class. 

The VTRON Trail X6 also features a 6,000-Watt mid-drive synchronous motor, which directly drives the chain, so there’s no belts involved. 

The battery is 96V 30Ah Samsung-made Lithium-ion with 217000 50E cells, and the bike has a water resistance rating of IP67. 

One standout feature of the VTRON Trail X is the inbuilt LED strip that wraps around the frame. The bike I rode is pre-production, and instead of having the control switch inside the frame, they say it will be on the handlebars for the custom versions. 

Just like the LED kit beneath your desk, you can do all sorts of different colors with it. People who ride any kind of EV usually end up adding these kinds of accessories to their bikes and equipment anyway, but I think a lot of people might appreciate not having to install it themselves. 

Power & Performance

I took the bike out in sport mode (there’s no turbo or anything like that), with the battery at 99%. It’s definitely very quick, and with a battery the same size at the Altis Sigma, you might be forgiven for comparing this to that bike.

The VTRON Trail X6 is rated for a top speed of 52 mph, and I could tell that the controller is speed limited once I saw around 50 mph on the speedometer. I’ve also seen the street-legal version of this bike and it has a much smaller sprocket and will be much faster than the off-road version. 

One thing that makes me nervous is when manufacturers approach me and say, “Hey, we got this new electric dirt bike. We’ve never made one before, and it’s amazing. It’s gonna be better than Surron.” And I’m always like, “You sure about that?”

And then I’ve pleasantly surprised with how good some of these bikes can be. The Trail X6 is extremely powerful, and definitely speed-governed. It could go faster, for sure. 

This bike is nice and lightweight, as well. The X6 wheelies easily, and the throttle mapping is good, although it’s a little torquey at the initial entry of the throttle. 

With its 150-pound weight, this bike is particularly good on technical trails like the one I ride in the video, and not every bike is great on that trail. The VTRON Trail X6 has firm handling, and I love that I was able to kind of lay into the back tire and kind of steer it with the rear. 

That’s what I love about having the mixed 19″ by 16″ setup that this bike has. You can get so much more aggressive. I would not compare this the Altis Sigma on the trail at all, since the Sigma is a much heavier bike, and you can feel that weight when riding it. 

The suspension on this bike is nothing spectacular, but it feels good to me – as good as it should for the price. As for the fit, I’d say the seat height and riding position are similar to a Surron, if maybe a little more dirt bike-ish. 

In comparison to the Altis Sigma, however, I really enjoyed this bike. The problem with the Sigma for me is that it felt cramped, and I’m an average height guy. On this bike, I’ve got a bit more leg room, and my knees weren’t as close to the handlebars. 

After about 12.4 miles on the VTRON Trail X6, I was at about 56% battery, which is about average range with a bike like this. There are other options you’ve find on the website, like a street kit, for example, but I didn’t get a chance to test out any of those. 

What I can say about this bike after my test ride is that it’s got that one very, very important for me: the fun factor. It’s playful, very light, and has all the power you need. I was very pleasantly surprised by the Trail X6, and especially impressed with how it handled technical trails. I felt confident quickly on the trail and had a lot of fun on this bike. 

I’ve ridden the 72V version of this bike as well, the Trail X3, and I think you’re better off getting this one. That’s what I’d do, anyway.
