Why the 2026 HPC Trailblazer Series is the Best Value Ever

- Top Speed: Up to 40mph, shattering the 20-28mph limits of most pedal-assist e-bikes.
- Massive Range: Optional 1050Wh battery for over 25% more range than typical rivals, enabling 50+ miles of all-day adventure.
- Hand-Built and Made-to-Order: Custom-assembled in the USA to your exact specs, including hand-built wheels for superior strength.
- Premium Components: High-quality parts throughout, with factory-tuned suspension dialed for your weight and riding style—perfect right out of the box.

The Trailblazer Pro amps it up with world-class Öhlins or DVO suspension, SRAM XX Transmission, and lighter overall build for aggressive enduro dominance. Starting prices make both models incredible value compared to premium competitors.
