Segway Xaber 300 Review: Dakar-Inspired Electric Dirt Bike for $5,299
The Segway Xaber 300 is Segway Powersports’ all-new 2026 electric dirt bike, and it replaces the discontinued X260 and X160. With a 21 kW motor, a 72V/44Ah Samsung 50S battery and quality Marzocchi suspension, it is a serious mid-weight machine rather than a lifestyle product — and at $5,299 it competes hard with the established names.
Here is our full review and where it fits in the Segway range.
Segway Xaber 300 specs
The Xaber 300 pairs a 21 kW motor with a 72V/44Ah Samsung 50S battery for a top speed of around 60 mph and up to 62 miles of range. It runs Marzocchi suspension with 220 mm of travel — genuinely good componentry at this price — and weighs around 240 lb.
What replaced the Segway X260?
The Xaber 300 is the direct replacement for both the X260 and the smaller X160, which are no longer produced. If you searched for an X260, this is the bike to look at — it brings a new chassis, the Samsung battery pack and upgraded suspension over the older models.
Xaber 300 vs Sur-Ron Light Bee X
The Sur-Ron Light Bee X is lighter and more nimble at 110 lb but slower in stock form and $4,999. The Xaber 300 is heavier and faster with a bigger battery and better stock suspension for $5,299. Choose the Sur-Ron for agility and aftermarket depth, the Xaber for stock performance and componentry.
Suspension and componentry
The Marzocchi suspension is the standout feature at this price. Where many bikes in the $5,000 class ship with adequate-at-best forks and shocks, the Xaber 300 gives you a name-brand setup with 220 mm of travel that soaks up rough terrain properly. Suspension is one of the most expensive things to upgrade after the fact, so having quality units from the factory is genuine added value.
The Samsung 50S cells in the 72V/44Ah pack are the other quality signal — these are respected, high-output cells rather than anonymous ones, which bodes well for both performance and longevity. Together they make the Xaber feel like a considered machine rather than a spec-sheet special.
Who is the Xaber 300 for?
The Xaber 300 suits an experienced adult rider who wants strong mid-weight performance and does not want to spend their first weekend upgrading suspension. It rewards fast, open trails and riders who value quality componentry over outright lightness.
If you want the lightest, most flickable bike or the deepest aftermarket, a Sur-Ron still makes more sense. But as a ride-it-as-it-comes package, the Xaber 300 is one of the more complete bikes at its price, and it anchors the refreshed Segway range.
Segway as a brand in dirt
Some riders are surprised to see Segway making a serious dirt bike, associating the name with commuter scooters. But Segway Powersports is a substantial operation with real engineering behind it, and the Xaber 300 is the clearest statement yet that they are aiming at enthusiasts rather than the lifestyle market. The Samsung cells and Marzocchi suspension are not the choices of a company cutting corners.
The X160 and X260 that came before were solid if unremarkable; the Xaber 300 is a genuine step up and a sign the brand is investing. For buyers that matters, because a manufacturer that keeps improving is more likely to support the bike with parts and updates down the line.
What to know before you buy
As with every bike in this class, the Xaber 300 is off-road / OHV use only — it is not street legal, and you should plan to ride it on private land or designated OHV areas with the correct registration. California riders should follow Vehicle Code Section 436.1. Confirm the current price with us before ordering, since tariff conditions can move it.
If you are cross-shopping, the honest comparison is against the Sur-Ron Light Bee X and the mid-weight Talaria machines. The Xaber counters the Sur-Ron’s lightness and aftermarket with better stock componentry and more speed. Which matters more depends on whether you are a rider who upgrades or a rider who just wants a complete bike out of the crate.
Is the Xaber 300 worth it?
For a rider who wants strong mid-weight performance with quality suspension straight out of the box, the Xaber 300 is a compelling package. It is off-road / OHV use only, and as always prices are estimates that can move with tariff conditions.
