ANAHEIM, Calif. Building on the groundbreaking launch of the 775 MX, Bonnell is charging straight into the high-performance end of the electric off-road market. At AIMExpo 2026 in Anaheim (Jan. 7–9), Bonnell lifted the curtain on its first e-moto lineup, led by the flagship 902 and the mid-size 805.
The company is positioning the launch as a clean-sheet effort, with a focus on power delivery, chassis design, and rider-adjustable controls. Bonnell also says early response at the show was strong among dealers, riders, and industry attendees.
Bonnell 805
Bonnell describes the 805 as a lightweight, high-power mid-size bike designed to take hard riding “and keep asking for more.” On paper, the numbers put it in an aggressive performance bracket for its class: 56 hp (42 kW), 211 lb (96 kg), and 80+ mph (130 km/h) top speed.
Power comes from swappable battery packs, with a 3.9 kWh Core option Battery or a 4.7 kWh Race pack Battery intended for quicker turnarounds between sessions.
Bonnell 902
The Bonnell 902, is Bonnell’s larger and more powerful offering—built around unparalleled adjustability so riders can configure for where and how they use it.
The 902 boasts 87 hp (65 kW) peak power making t the most powerful electric dirt bike in the market, with speeds exceeding 90+ mph (145 km/h).
The 902’s energy setup is modular: a 5.6 kWh Core battery and 6.7 kWh Race battery for longer, high-intensity sessions, while a the 4.7 kWh Sprint battery is aimed at shedding mass, saving over 15 lb (7 kg).
On the chassis side, Bonnell cites a custom forged aluminum frame, hydroformed swingarm, and an integrated gearbox. Suspension is branded SIRRIS, with two configurations available: 285 mm/285 mm Enduro and a longer-travel 310 mm/320 mm Race setup.
Pulse Control System: Controller + Programmable Lever + Display
Beyond raw output, Bonnell’s standout pitch is its proprietary Pulse Control System, which comes standard on both models.
Key elements include:
- Handlebar-mounted “Joy-Con” controller to toggle through five customizable ride modes,
plus reverse.
- Programmable trigger-finger control that can be set up for functions such as electric clutch, variable regenerative braking, and on/off features including Boost Mode, speed limit, Wheelie Mode, and traction control. Bonnell also says it can serve as a backup throttle if needed.
- High-definition display offering three layouts (Precision, Performance, Race)
with a built-in lap timer.
