KESTREL 8000 High-Performance Electric Off-Road Motorcycle

Description

KESTREL 8000 is a high-performance electric off-road motorcycle developed for riders seeking strong acceleration, high-speed capability, long-range endurance, and responsive handling. With a lightweight aluminum alloy chassis, mid-mounted electric motor, long-travel suspension, and 350 mm of ground clearance, it is built to handle demanding trails, sand, dirt tracks, and recreational off-road environments.

The KESTREL 8000 combines a 130 km/h maximum speed, 8 kW rated motor power, 82 N·m maximum torque, and up to 100 km of range. Its electric drivetrain delivers instant power with quiet operation, giving riders a different riding experience from conventional gasoline-powered off-road motorcycles.

High-Output Electric Performance

The KESTREL 8000 uses a mid-mounted electric motor with an 8 kW rated output and 22 kW peak motor power. Its maximum torque reaches 82 N·m, while rear-wheel output torque is rated at 607 N·m.

The motorcycle can reach up to 130 km/h in V200 mode, with 0–50 km/h acceleration in approximately 2.0 seconds. This combination of high peak power and rapid acceleration gives KESTREL 8000 the performance needed for fast recreational riding and challenging off-road routes.

Long-Range 96V Battery System

KESTREL 8000 is equipped with a 96V ternary lithium battery using Samsung 21700 cells. The battery has a 35 Ah capacity and is designed to provide an estimated range of up to 100 km under the specified test condition.

The charging system supports both slow and fast charging. Charging from 20% to 80% takes approximately 3 hours with the standard charging mode or about 0.6 hours using fast charging, allowing riders to spend less time waiting between riding sessions.

Lightweight Aluminum Alloy Chassis

With a curb weight of only 88 kg, KESTREL 8000 has a strong power-to-weight advantage for an electric off-road motorcycle. Its frame uses forged and welded aluminum alloy construction, combining low weight with the structural strength required for demanding riding conditions.

The forged and welded aluminum alloy swingarm further supports chassis rigidity while keeping overall vehicle weight under control. This lightweight architecture contributes to responsive handling during acceleration, cornering, jumps, and rapid changes in direction.

Long-Travel Suspension for Rough Terrain

KESTREL 8000 is equipped with an inverted front fork providing 220 mm of suspension travel and an airbag rear mono-shock with 85 mm of travel.

The suspension configuration is designed to absorb impacts from uneven terrain while maintaining predictable wheel contact. Combined with 350 mm of ground clearance, the motorcycle can pass over obstacles and rough surfaces with reduced risk of chassis contact.

A 26° rake angle, 45° steering angle, and 98 mm trail further contribute to the motorcycle's steering response and handling characteristics.

Designed for Sand, Trails and Off-Road Adventures

The KESTREL 8000 is suitable for riders who want to explore different off-road environments without the noise and exhaust emissions associated with gasoline engines.

Its performance and chassis configuration make it suitable for:

• High-speed off-road riding

• Desert and sand riding

• Dirt trails

• Recreational outdoor adventures

• Off-road training

• Performance-oriented trail riding

BSTABO's published rider feedback specifically highlights the motorcycle's performance in deep sand, with the rider noting its instant power when exiting corners and quiet operation.

19-Inch Off-Road Wheels and Disc Brakes

KESTREL 8000 uses straight-spoke wheels with a 1.4 × 19 front wheel and 1.6 × 19 rear wheel. The front tire size is 70/100-19, while the rear uses an 80/100-19 tire.

For braking, the motorcycle features front and rear disc brakes with 260 mm front and 220 mm rear brake discs. This configuration provides the braking hardware required to manage the motorcycle's high-speed performance and off-road riding demands.

High Ground Clearance and Agile Geometry

The 350 mm ground clearance gives KESTREL 8000 additional space to clear rocks, ruts, roots, and other trail obstacles. At 1,920 × 780 × 1,170 mm, the motorcycle maintains a compact overall footprint while providing a 1,285 mm wheelbase.

The 905 mm seat height and 660 mm seat length are designed around an upright off-road riding position, giving riders the leverage needed to control the motorcycle while standing or sitting on technical terrain.

Fast Charging for Extended Riding

For riders who want to maximize time on the trail, the fast-charging capability is an important part of KESTREL 8000's electric platform. The battery can be charged from 20% to 80% in approximately 0.6 hours using fast charging, while standard slow charging takes approximately 3 hours.

This charging flexibility allows users to select a charging method according to their riding schedule, whether preparing the motorcycle for a longer adventure or making a shorter turnaround between sessions.
