Key Differences
Power & Speed
Tork Pro-Sport
16.8kW peak, 65 mph top speed
Talaria Sting MX5 Pro
13.4kW peak, 56 mph top speed
The Tork holds a 25% power advantage and a 9 mph top speed edge. Both are legitimate performance machines, but the Tork pulls noticeably harder at higher speeds and on steep climbs. The gap is especially clear above 50 mph where the MX5 Pro is approaching its ceiling while the Tork still has headroom.
Range & Battery
Tork Pro-Sport
70-105 miles on 3240Wh pack
Talaria Sting MX5 Pro
40-65 miles on 2880Wh pack
The Tork has 12% more battery capacity but delivers 62% more range at best case — 105 miles vs 65 miles. The efficiency advantage comes from the Tork's lighter weight and integrated drivetrain. For full-day rides, that 40-mile gap at max range is the difference between one charge and two.
Weight & Handling
Tork Pro-Sport
150 lbs — lightest performance bike in its class
Talaria Sting MX5 Pro
159 lbs with Talaria's tuned ergonomics
The Tork is 9 lbs lighter while producing 25% more power. That's a superior power-to-weight ratio in every scenario. Talaria riders often praise the MX5 Pro's feel and balance, which is real — but the Tork's weight advantage compounds across a full day of riding. Lighter loading, lighter on technical terrain, lighter on your arms.
Ownership & Value
Tork Pro-Sport
$5,100 with dealer warranty and integrated drivetrain
Talaria Sting MX5 Pro
$4,700-$5,900 depending on dealer and config
The Tork's fixed $5,100 price includes Send Bikes dealer warranty, Terrace Finance, and an integrated motor-gearbox. The MX5 Pro ranges from $4,700-$5,900 by dealer — and at the top end costs $800 more than the Tork for less performance. The Tork's integrated drivetrain also eliminates chain maintenance costs long-term.
The Bottom Line
Our Pick: Tork Pro-Sport
The Tork wins on power, speed, range, weight, and ownership simplicity. The MX5 Pro is a strong bike, but the Tork edges it in every measurable category.
Tork Pro-Sport
Get the Tork for more power, more range, lighter weight, and the certainty of Send Bikes dealer support — all at a fixed price.
Talaria Sting MX5 Pro
Get the MX5 Pro if you love Talaria's handling feel, have a trusted Talaria dealer near you, or can get it at the $4,700 base price.
Service & Warranty
The Tork ships with Send Bikes dealer warranty and support through Central Georgia Powersports. Talaria MX5 Pro warranty varies by dealer — some offer strong coverage, others are limited. Always ask about parts availability before purchasing.
Financing & Ownership
The Tork is available through Terrace Finance with fixed monthly payments. MX5 Pro financing depends on your dealer. Long-term, the Tork's integrated motor-gearbox eliminates chain maintenance costs (lubrication, adjustment, replacement every 2,000-3,000 miles).
