The bike is seen riding at high-speeds in off-road trails in the video, easily jumping down hills and maintaining a stable riding position. As such, the e-bike is suited for both on and [off-road riding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blitz-s1), even at higher speeds. In terms of its components, the bike appears to include a 600W motor and an 840 Wh battery, resulting in a maximum speed of roughly 28 miles per hour and a range upwards of 60 miles per charge, though the range will vary based on the riding mode. According to FLX, the Weapon X is a [high-performance e-mountain bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rampage-1-4-sport) that focuses on demanding conditions, rather than focusing on the range or weight.
