Quick Answer

Peak Power (kW)

Peak power is the maximum short-burst output a bike can deliver, typically shown in kilowatts (kW).

Full Explanation

Peak power usually represents temporary top output, not continuous output. It helps compare acceleration headroom between models.

Why It Matters

Higher peak power generally means stronger acceleration and better high-load performance, but it should be considered with weight, traction, and rider goals.
