WHAT IS A SURRON?
You probably know what a Surron is,
even if you don't know it yet. You've likely
seen their spirited Light Bee model rip-
ping around your hometown's dirt lots,
looking for jumps to hit or parking lots to roost
and girls to impress via the teenage population
on-board. That platform has been in the world
since 2018 and we even tested the Light Bee X.
It's the sort of bike that builds a movement of
underground hooliganism. Kids want it. Adults
giggle when they ride it. People are modifying
them like mad to race regularly. Nobody knows if
they should wear full moto gear or skate helmets
and Vans when they ride it at first. It's a sort-of
goofy, incredibly fun, motorcycle thing that is free
of category definitions. It's fresh.
Up to now, that was a Surron. It wasn't a Light
Bee, it was a Surron. With the introduction of the
Storm Bee F—an enduro dirt bike by all
classification—all has changed. Now,
Surron is the brand tip of the spear and
models are branching down below.
Remember these names, you'll keep
hearing about them.
The Storm Bee is 100 percent dirt bike. It
isn't a play bike like its smaller sibling. It has
real dirt bike-scaled componentry and power.
It has the girth and heft of a grown-up's motor-
cycle with wheels, tires, footpegs, handlebar,
controls and performance to match. It is, with-
out a doubt, a real motorcycle. It will not avoid
attention from the neighborhood Homeowners
Association very well.
For North America, the Storm Bee F comes as
an off-road-only model (no 50-state street legality)
and comes with both the headlight and a blank
front number plate for $8499.
