HPC Revolution MX: Specs, Top Speed, Range & Price

HPC Revolution MX downhill e-MTB

The HPC Revolution MX is the lightest bike in the Revolution family and one of the most powerful downhill e-MTBs built in the USA. If you are comparing lightweight, high-power builds and want the real numbers, this guide covers the Revolution MX specs, top speed, range and price, and shows how it differs from the MX Pro and the other Revolution models.

Specifications are taken from HPC's product page and published Revolution MX posts. Components and options can change, so confirm the details on the product page before ordering.

Power and top speed

The Revolution MX runs a 72V system with up to 6,000W of power and a 50 mph top speed. HPC's earlier launch coverage notes selectable riding modes, including a Race mode for off-road use, along with torque-sensing pedal assist. The bike is built to feel like a mountain bike you can ride on the pedals when you want to and a lightweight e-moto when you do not.

The custom 5-speed transmission is a big part of that character. It lets you choose lower gears for technical climbs and higher gears for speed, rather than being locked to one ratio. Our write-up on the Revolution MX as a downhill e-MTB covers the drivetrain in more detail.

Range and battery

HPC lists the Revolution MX with up to 100 miles of range. That figure comes from the long-range battery option, which uses a USA-made pack of up to 2,600Wh. HPC's launch post describes the standard pack as a 40-mile pack. As always, real range depends on rider weight, terrain, mode and how hard you ride. Full-power descents use energy much faster than easy trail riding.

Frame, suspension and brakes

The MX is built around a lightweight frame in 6061 and 7075 aluminum alloys with carbon fiber accents. At about 70 lbs in its base configuration, it is far lighter than a conventional high-power downhill bike. That light weight is the reason it handles like a trail bike despite the power.

  • Suspension: a RockShox Vivid RC shock gives 9.5 inches of frame travel at the rear, paired with a 200mm Manitou Dorado fork.
  • Brakes: Magura MT5 quad-piston brakes with 203mm rotors.
  • Tires: Kenda Nevegal Pro 26 x 2.7 in.

How much does the Revolution MX cost?

The Revolution MX is priced at $10,500. It is covered by HPC's published warranty of 10 years on the frame and 3 years on the electrical system. Availability can change, so check the product page for the current status before you plan around a delivery date.

Revolution MX vs MX Pro

The Revolution MX Pro is the 78V version of the same platform, priced at $12,500. HPC lists the same headline numbers for both bikes: up to 6,000W, 100 miles of range and a 50 mph top speed. The difference is system voltage. We do not repeat the whole comparison here, but our guide Revolution MX vs Revolution MX Pro: Is the 78V Upgrade Worth It? explains what higher voltage does and who should pay for it.

How the MX compares with the rest of the Revolution family

Model Price Best for
Revolution MX $10,500 Lightweight 72V downhill and trail riding
Revolution MX Pro $12,500 The same platform with a 78V system
Revolution From $11,000 The original hub-motor freeride and downhill bike
Revolution X From $15,000 Flagship downhill build
Revolution W $29,995 Limited-edition top-speed bike

If your priority is the highest top speed HPC makes, the Revolution X and Revolution W are the bikes to look at. If you want a lighter, more nimble bike, the MX is the Revolution built for that. For a walk through every model, read The HPC Revolution Lineup Explained.

Who is the Revolution MX for?

  • Mountain bikers who want e-moto power without the weight of a motorcycle.
  • Riders who want a USA-built downhill e-MTB with long-range options.
  • Anyone who values agility on technical descents more than a record top speed.

Before you ride

HPC classes the Revolution MX as an Off-Road Only High Power Bike for OHV areas, private property and closed courses. It exceeds the 750W and 28 mph limits of the standard US e-bike classes. In California, SB 1271 (effective January 1, 2025) means a bike capable of more than 28 mph is not classified as an e-bike. Wear full protective gear and check your local rules before you ride.
