Meet the Dust Hightail: Lightweight, Powerful, and Ready to Rip

Dust Hightail

The Dust Hightail is here, and it’s changing the game for mid size electric dirt bikes. Now open for pre-orders, this bike combines serious performance and modern tech in a slightly smaller than full-size package. If you’re looking for a powerful, capable mid size eMoto, the Hightail might just be your new best friend.

What’s the Deal with the Hightail?

The Dust Hightail is all about balance—light, nimble, and powerful. Here’s the specs:

  • Price: $10,950 
  • Battery: 4.4kWh swappable 
  • Power: 42hp / 32kW peak
  • Torque: 660Nm (485 lb-ft) at the wheel 
  • Top Speed: 75 mph (110 kph)
  • Weight: Under 220 lbs (<100 kg)
  • Suspension: 10.2” front / 11” rear travel for buttery smooth landings
  • Wheels: 21” front, and your choice of 18” or 19” rear
  • Wheelbase: 55.1” 
  • Rake: 26 degrees
  • Seat Height: 35”

What Makes the Dust Hightail Unique?

  • Super Lightweight: Under 220 lbs means you can flick this thing around like a pro.
  • Customizable Ride Modes: Tweak the settings to match your style, whether you’re carving singletrack or riding the MX track.
  • Smaller size: It’s not the full size category like a Stark Varg and not the small category like a Surron Light Bee. 

When Can You Buy the Dust Hightail?

Dust Moto is taking pre-orders now with just a $100 refundable deposit, and bikes are expected to ship in late 2025. 

Don’t wait too long, though. This is one of the most exciting new entries into the lightweight e-dirt bike scene, and spots are filling up fast. Pre-order your Hightail today and get ready to tear up the trails in style.
