Cyrusher Hurricane vs Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra Eagle 2
Two off-road e-bikes at a similar price, compared on the same normalized specs. Both scored by us, both reviewed in full.
The verdict
These two are close enough in torque, power, and Genius score that the decision really comes down to whether you need the Hurricane's extra battery and payload capacity or the Juggernaut's lighter frame and better drivetrain.
Buy the Cyrusher Hurricane
Buy the Hurricane if you want the lower price, more battery capacity, and the highest payload rating (440 lb) plus fatter 4.8" tires for stability on soft or uneven ground.
Buy the Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra Eagle 2
Buy the Juggernaut Ultra Eagle 2 if you'd rather carry 29 lb less bike up stairs or into a trunk, and you want the nicer SRAM NX 11-speed drivetrain, even though it costs a bit more and carries less weight.
The differences that matter
- Cyrusher Hurricane costs $200 less.
- Cyrusher Hurricane carries 130 Wh more battery, which is the main thing that sets how far you get.
- Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra Eagle 2 is 29 lb lighter, which you notice lifting it or carrying it up steps.

Cyrusher Hurricane

Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra Eagle 2
Backcountry and mountain riders who want a mid-drive with real climbing torque and don't blink at a premium price.

The short version on each
Cyrusher Hurricane
What's good
- A mid-drive motor with a big 160 Nm of torque that keeps you moving from a near standstill on loose, steep ground where hub-motor fat bikes tend to stall
- A large 1,040Wh battery, one of the bigger packs on any fat bike, with up to 55 claimed miles so an outlet-free day out is realistic
- Tektro 4-piston E730 hydraulic disc brakes, the kind of stopping power a heavy, fast trail bike actually needs
What to know
- Value is the weak spot at $4,799, since a few off-road rivals match the power and range for less
- That much torque runs through a basic Shimano 9-speed drivetrain, which is the part most likely to show wear if you ride hard and shift under load
Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra Eagle 2
What's good
- A Bafang Ultra mid-drive with 160 Nm of torque that pulls strong on steep, technical climbs where lesser motors give up
- 1,000W of steady power and 1,500W on demand for hard trail work
- A large 910Wh battery as the default, with bigger packs offered for longer days
What to know
- Value is the soft spot at this price: you're paying for the specific Bafang Ultra motor, not for extra range or hardware that other off-road bikes match
- The base 27.5" x 3" tires are tuned for pavement and groomed trails, so deep, technical terrain wants one of the fatter tire options
