Onyx's iconic RCR e-bike is getting a makeover

Evan Rodgers November 19, 2020 Design The electric café racer of 2020 is getting a few much-needed changes.

Right in the middle

The Onyx RCR is an on- or off-road electric motorbike somewhere between an e-scrambler and a full-sized electric motorcycle . It debuted in 2019 and goes around 60 miles per hour.

Small tweaks, big improvements

Onyx has announced a list of changes to the ONYX RCR going forward. It's not a complete re-think, more like a spate of incremental upgrades.

Onyx RCR core updates:

- Hydraulic forks "for smoother articulation" - Updated hydraulic brakes - Smaller controls on the left handlebar - Reinforced swingarm, now with passenger pegs - Adjustable seat mounts for better ergonomics - Plug-and-play wiring harness - Better display - New rosewood panels
