Hardcore riding demands more than average power. It demands precision handling, relentless torque, lightweight construction, and a drivetrain that won’t fold when the trail turns vertical.

The 2026 Trailblazer lineup from HPC Bikes was engineered specifically for riders who push boundaries — steep climbs, technical descents, enduro racing lines, and backcountry exploration.

At the center of this platform is the upgraded Bafang M560 mid-drive system, custom tuned by HPC to deliver up to 2000W of peak power and 185 Nm of torque — nearly double what most mainstream eMTBs offer.

All of that power is wrapped in a full-suspension carbon enduro frame weighing just 51–55 lbs, giving riders a rare combination: extreme output without sacrificing agility.


Key Specs & Power Breakdown

The foundation of the Trailblazer lineup is raw, controlled power — built around the proven Bafang motor platform and enhanced with HPC’s proprietary firmware tuning.

Configuration Peak Power Torque Ideal Rider
750W ~850W peak ~120 Nm Moderate assist & mixed terrain
1200W ~1350W peak ~160 Nm Aggressive climbing & enduro
2000W ~2000W peak 185 Nm Hardcore riders & extreme terrain

Why 2000W / 185 Nm Matters

  • Optional throttle for starting steep climbs
  • Sustained power on long ascents
  • Faster acceleration out of corners
  • Momentum retention in loose rock and sand
  • Top speeds approaching ~40 mph (where permitted)

Despite this output, the carbon chassis keeps the system weight between 51–55 lbs, preserving flickability and balance on tight switchbacks.

Range: Up to 1050Wh battery capacity with real-world estimates around 40–52+ miles depending on terrain, assist level, and throttle use.

Warranty: 3-year warranty on key components.
