CAKE, amongst experimenting with paper-based fairings and being an all-around advocate for our sustainable Powersports future, has simply launched their first, their strongest MX-inspired manufacturing mannequin: The Bukk.
In the event you recall, this bike was beforehand a restricted version beastie; now that the zero-emission machine is a full-out electrical manufacturing bike, we get two variants – Tremendous Mild and Energy Mild.
In keeping with High Velocity, the Tremendous Mild and Energy Mild variants show 270lb-ft, 13 peak kW, and a 50mph high pace, whereas the latter boasts 336lb-ft, 16kW, and 56mph, respectively; each variants use the ‘Jante’ motor, an inside everlasting magnet (IPM) unit with radial flux setup and a dual-bearing shaft through which affords “optimum effectivity, energy output, and reliability, with smoother acceleration for higher management decrease within the rev vary.”
Included in every Bukk can be a 2.9kWh battery pack, detachable with out instruments (dare we name it swappable?) and in a position to take the bike by means of “3 hours of path driving” with a full cost in the identical period of time.
As for the MX inspo, we have now the record of prime componentry right here:
- 19/18-inch (F/R) aluminum motocross wheels
- off-road-spec knobby rubber
- single petal disc brakes
- Method Tech upside-down forks (absolutely adjustable) with 270 mm of journey

“… the occasion trick is you could go for top-shelf WP XACT Professional forks (278 mm journey) up high and couple it with both an Ohlins S46 or WP XACT Professional 8946 shock outback–for more money, in fact,” continues Punya Sharma.
“If that’s not MX-ready sufficient for you, there’s additionally 965 mm of seat peak and 350 mm of floor clearance. For reference, the KTM 350 SX-F has 359 mm of GC and ~300 mm of journey.”
What do you assume? Is the CAKE Bukk getting nearer to that ICE-vs-electric threshold?
