The EUNORAU Rerode R1+ and 79Bike Falcon Pro are both 72V electric dirt bikes, but they are aimed at slightly different buyers. The R1+ emphasizes maximum output, a larger 40Ah battery and higher published torque. The Falcon Pro counters with a lighter chassis, a lower purchase price, strong 10kW peak performance and a well-developed 19/19 off-road package.
If you are choosing between them, the decision is not simply “17,000W beats 10,000W.” Weight, battery capacity, price, wheel setup, charging, range conditions and how much performance you will actually use matter just as much. This comparison uses current WattWheelz product data at draft time plus manufacturer-published specifications so the tradeoffs are clear.
R1+ vs Falcon Pro: Quick Winner Summary
Choose the R1+ if you want the larger battery, the highest published peak output, more published wheel torque and the flagship Rerode performance ceiling.
Choose the Falcon Pro if you want to spend less, save roughly 20 pounds of vehicle weight, keep a strong 72V platform and still have performance far beyond a conventional e-bike.
Current WattWheelz pricing at draft time: R1+ $4,799.00. Falcon Pro $3,799.00 plus its currently disclosed $250 freight charge at checkout. Always confirm the final checkout total because promotions and freight policies can change.

Those numbers are manufacturer-published figures rather than independent WattWheelz dyno, GPS or range-test results. Peak power is not continuous power, and range claims should be read with the manufacturers' stated conditions in mind.
Power: 17kW Peak vs 10kW Peak
The largest headline difference is power. Rerode publishes 17kW peak output for the R1+, while 79Bike publishes 10kW peak for the Falcon Pro. That gives the R1+ the larger peak-output envelope on paper.
But peak ratings are not the same as continuous output, and they do not tell you exactly how a bike will feel through every part of the throttle. Controller tuning, gearing, rider weight, traction and ride mode all influence acceleration. For buyers, the practical question is whether you need the extra ceiling. Riders prioritizing the strongest possible acceleration and climbing reserve will naturally lean R1+. Riders who already consider 10kW peak more than enough may prefer the Falcon Pro's lower price and weight.
Torque: R1+ Has the Higher Published Figure
Rerode lists 500 N·m of peak wheel torque for the R1+. 79Bike lists 410 N·m for the Falcon Pro. On paper, that gives the R1+ another advantage for hard launches and steep low-speed terrain.
Torque figures still deserve context. Tire grip and throttle mapping determine how much of that force can be used effectively. More torque is not automatically better for every trail. A newer rider may actually prefer a calmer delivery, while an experienced off-road rider may value the extra reserve.
Battery: 72V 40Ah vs 72V 35Ah
Battery capacity is one of the most meaningful differences. The R1+ uses a 72V 40Ah pack, which works out to roughly 2,880Wh from nominal voltage multiplied by amp-hours. The Falcon Pro uses a 72V 35Ah pack, or roughly 2,520Wh by the same calculation.
That is about a 14% nominal-energy advantage for the R1+. In theory, more stored energy can support longer sessions, but real-world range depends heavily on speed and riding style. High-output dirt bikes can consume energy extremely quickly when ridden near their performance limit, so neither model should be purchased on the assumption that the headline range will appear under every condition.
Range: Both Claim Up to 75 Miles, But Conditions Matter
The two bikes appear similar if you only read the headline range. Rerode publishes up to 120 km, roughly 75 miles, but explicitly ties that figure to about 25 km/h / 16 mph conditions. 79Bike publishes up to 75 miles and notes that terrain and speed change the result.
That means a buyer should not treat the two range claims as independently verified apples-to-apples tests. At moderate speeds the larger R1+ pack gives it an energy-capacity advantage, but the bike also has higher performance potential and more weight. Aggressive use can erase much of the theoretical benefit.
Top Speed: 59 MPH vs 56 MPH
Rerode publishes 59 mph for the R1+, while 79Bike publishes 56 mph for the Falcon Pro. In practical buying terms, this difference is small compared with the gap between either bike and a conventional Class 1, 2 or 3 e-bike.
Both are capable of speeds where terrain, braking, visibility, rider skill and protective equipment matter far more than a few additional miles per hour. If your purchase hinges only on which spec sheet has the larger maximum-speed number, you are probably overlooking more important ownership differences.
Weight: Falcon Pro Is Easier to Live With
The Falcon Pro's 130 lb published weight is about 20 lb lower than the R1+'s 150 lb figure. That matters every time you load the bike, maneuver it in a garage, recover it after a tip-over or handle it at low speed.
Neither machine is light in bicycle terms, but 20 lb is enough to be noticeable. If you frequently transport the bike in a truck or trailer, have limited storage space or value easier physical handling, the Falcon Pro earns a meaningful advantage here.
Suspension and Wheel Setup
Both bikes publish around 200mm of front suspension travel, putting them in genuine off-road territory. The Falcon Pro specifically uses a Fastace 2.0 front fork and Fastace rear shock. The R1+ uses a 200mm front system with high- and low-speed compression damping and an 85mm-travel rear shock.
The wheel layouts differ. The R1+ uses a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear setup. The Falcon Pro uses 19-inch wheels front and rear. A staggered 19/18 setup can favor dirt-bike-style rear tire choices and traction, while a 19/19 setup keeps the wheel diameters matched. Which is better depends on terrain and tire availability rather than one layout being universally superior.
Brakes and High-Speed Control
The R1+ uses four-piston hydraulic brakes with a 220mm front rotor and 203mm rear rotor according to current Rerode specifications. WattWheelz lists the Falcon Pro with hydraulic disc brakes front and rear.
At these speeds and weights, brake maintenance is a core ownership requirement. Pad condition, rotor condition, hydraulic feel and tire traction should be monitored frequently. If you ride mud, steep descents or repeated high-speed sections, service intervals may be shorter than those of a commuter e-bike.
Charging: Falcon Pro Is Slightly Faster on Paper
79Bike publishes an approximately 3.5-hour charge time for the Falcon Pro. Rerode publishes about four hours for the R1+. The difference is not large enough to decide the purchase for most owners, but frequent riders may appreciate the Falcon Pro's slightly shorter listed turnaround.
In both cases, use the supplied or manufacturer-approved charging equipment and follow the battery manufacturer's storage and charging guidance. These are large high-voltage lithium-ion packs and should be treated accordingly.
Price and Total Cost: Falcon Pro Wins on Entry Price
At draft time, WattWheelz lists the R1+ at $4,799.00 and the Falcon Pro at $3,799.00. The Falcon Pro also has a disclosed $250 freight charge added at checkout, bringing its current before-tax equipment-plus-freight total to roughly $4,049.00 when no other checkout adjustment applies.
That still leaves the Falcon Pro materially below the R1+ on current pricing. The R1+ premium buys the larger battery and higher published performance ceiling. If you will not use those advantages, the Falcon Pro has the stronger value argument.
R1+ Ownership Tradeoffs
The R1+ is the better fit for the rider who wants the strongest current Rerode package and is comfortable with the additional weight and cost. Its large battery and high published torque are genuine differentiators, but they also make it more specialized.

Falcon Pro Ownership Tradeoffs
The Falcon Pro offers a strong middle ground: still a high-output 72V e-moto, but lighter and cheaper than the R1+. It also has an established 19/19 wheel setup, Fastace suspension and a 3.5-hour published charge time.

Which Bike Is Better for Technical Off-Road Riding?
For an experienced rider who wants maximum torque and output reserve, the R1+ has the stronger spec-sheet case. Its 500 N·m published wheel torque and 17kW peak output are substantial advantages when the terrain actually demands them.
The Falcon Pro can still be the more manageable choice for technical riding because it is lighter. On tight trails, low-speed corrections and recovery after a mistake, 20 fewer pounds can matter. The right choice depends on whether you value raw reserve or easier chassis management more.
Which Bike Is Better for Value?
The Falcon Pro wins the value comparison for most buyers who do not specifically need the R1+'s additional battery capacity and output. It is thousands of watts below the R1+ on peak rating, but 10kW peak is already extreme compared with ordinary e-bikes.
The R1+ earns its premium only if you want the flagship ceiling. Buyers focused on cost-to-performance ratio should start with the Falcon Pro and move up only when they can name a clear reason for the larger Rerode package.
Which One Should You Buy?
Buy the Rerode R1+ if your priorities are maximum published power, maximum published torque, the larger battery and the strongest Rerode platform available through WattWheelz.
Buy the Falcon Pro if your priorities are lower purchase cost, lower weight, strong Fastace suspension and a 72V performance platform that is still capable of speeds and acceleration far beyond conventional e-bikes.
