RFN Ares Rally Review: The Enduro-Focused eMoto
The RFN Ares Rally takes a different approach to the eMoto class. Where the Sur-Ron Light Bee X and Talaria Sting R are pit-bike-shaped machines designed for tight trails and tracks, the Ares Rally is built with enduro geometry and 200mm of suspension travel — a setup that suits bigger, rougher terrain and taller riders.

What makes the Ares Rally different
200mm of suspension travel is significantly more than a Light Bee X or Talaria Sting R, and the geometry is longer and more relaxed. This gives the Ares Rally a more planted, confident feel at higher speeds over rough ground — roots, rocks, whoops and trail debris that would unsettle a shorter-travel bike. For riders who come from a petrol enduro background, the Ares Rally feels more familiar than a pit-bike-geometry eMoto.
74V system
The 74V battery puts the Ares Rally slightly above the 60V Light Bee X class on voltage, delivering smoother power delivery at higher loads. The RFN Ares replacement battery is available at £849.
Ares Rally vs Sur-Ron Light Bee X
The Light Bee X (£3,199) is lighter, more agile and has a vastly larger aftermarket. The Ares Rally offers more suspension travel, a more enduro-focused geometry and a higher-voltage system. If you ride tight, technical trails where agility matters most, the Light Bee X is the better tool. If you ride faster, rougher terrain or value the confidence that comes from more suspension travel, the Ares Rally is worth a serious look.
Ares Rally vs Ares RS (road legal)
The RFN Ares RS Endurance is the road-legal version of the Ares platform — type-approved, restricted to 28mph, with a 4kW motor rated for daily commuting. The Rally is the off-road performance model. If you need to ride on public roads, buy the RS. If you only ride off-road, the Rally is the one to have.
