Cyrusher Hurricane Review: A 160 Nm Mid-Drive Climber for $4,799
The Cyrusher Hurricane pairs a torquey Bafang mid-drive with a huge battery and grippy fat tires, so it climbs and hauls where lighter fat bikes stall, as long as the premium price fits your budget.
The Cyrusher Hurricane is built for the kind of riding that stops most fat-tire bikes cold: steep, loose climbs with a full load on the bike. Its motor and give it the muscle to grind up grades that leave weaker fat bikes spinning out.
You pay premium money for that capability, and value is the honest catch. You're paying for the Bafang mid-drive more than for outright numbers, which is why it lands at 65 out of 100 on our Genius Score: strong on motor and battery, held back on range and value. Its 28 mph top speed makes it a e-bike, so the runs as you pedal up to 28 mph, and since Cyrusher doesn't clearly spell out a , plan on pedaling to get moving.
Pros & cons
What we like
- A 1000W Bafang mid-drive with gives it genuine climbing muscle for steep, loose trails.
- A big gives you a large reserve for long days off pavement.
- give strong, repeatable stopping for a heavy, fast bike.
- 26" x 4.8" fat tires add grip and cushion on sand, snow, and broken trail.
- Rated to carry a lot of weight, so it handles a big rider plus gear on rough ground.
Worth weighing
- Real-world is the soft spot; the powerful motor and fat tires draw down that 55-mile claim faster than the big battery suggests.
- Value is a relative weak point for the price; you're paying a premium for the Bafang mid-drive build rather than for standout numbers.
- Several key specs aren't published, from peak wattage to suspension travel, so a few capability details are hard to pin down before you buy.
Key specs
The motor & power
The heart of the Hurricane is a Bafang M620 motor rated at 1000W, one of the strongest units Bafang makes. That's what turns this into a genuine climber: on a steep, loose pitch it keeps pulling instead of running out of steam.
With , it has the grunt to haul a loaded bike up a rough climb without bogging down. That's a genuinely high number, and it's the spec that defines how this bike rides.
Cyrusher doesn't publish a figure, so judge the motor on its 1000W , which is already plenty for aggressive off-road use.
Range & battery
The battery is a large 52V, 20Ah pack, which works out to . That's a big reserve, and it's the reason the Hurricane can promise long outings.
, and that's a best-case figure from easy conditions. Loaded climbing on fat tires with a 1000W motor working hard will bring it down, so build your rides around a lower number and you won't get stranded.
Even with this much battery on board, range is a relative weak point next to its peers, mostly because the power and the 4.8-inch tires ask a lot of every watt-hour.
Ride & components
The 26" x 4.8" CST fat tires are the headline feature: big, soft, and grippy, they float over sand, snow, and rocky trail where a narrower tire would dig in and stall.
Stopping comes from , which is the right call for a bike this heavy and this fast. Four pistons give you strong, consistent braking on long descents.
Shifting is handled by a Shimano 9-speed drivetrain, a straightforward setup that pairs well with the mid-drive's gear-multiplying nature. At 89.5 lb it's a substantial bike, which is normal for a fat-tire build carrying a battery this size.
Cyrusher doesn't publish figures, so if fork and shock numbers matter to how you ride, it's worth confirming those with the seller first.
Cyrusher lists two different payload numbers: 440 lb in the main specs and 350 lb on the size chart. Until they clear that up, we'd plan around the lower 350 lb figure to be safe, especially if you're loading on gear.
Price & value
At $4,799, the Hurricane is priced like the premium off-road machine it is. You're paying for the build, the mid-drive, the 160 Nm of torque, and that oversized battery, and those are real, expensive parts.
Value is where it's a little less compelling. For the money, a few competitors offer comparable power and range for less, so you're paying something of a premium for the Bafang mid-drive and Cyrusher's build. If mid-drive climbing is specifically what you want, that premium can be worth it; if you just want a fast fat-tire cruiser, cheaper bikes will get you there.
Who it's for
The steep-trail climber
If your local riding means loose, steep climbs and technical terrain, this is where the and its pay off. It keeps pulling on grades that leave hub-motor fat bikes spinning.
The load-hauling explorer
If you head out for long off-grid days with camping or hunting gear strapped on, the big and the high are built for exactly that kind of loaded, all-day riding.
The budget-minded off-roader
If you want fat-tire fun but you're watching the price, this one asks premium money, and the real value here is in the mid-drive climbing rather than the spec sheet. It's worth the stretch only if that climbing muscle is the part you specifically want.
The no-pedal cruiser
If your dream is twisting a and cruising without pedaling, know that Cyrusher doesn't clearly specify one here; the is designed to come on as you pedal, up to 28 mph. Confirm the throttle question with the seller before you commit.
