With its versatile design, advanced technology, and electrifying performance, the S2 Alpinista sets a new benchmark in the electric motorcycle market.
A New Era of Electric Motorcycling
The S2 Alpinista represents LiveWire’s first foray into the sport standard category, blending the characteristics of street, sport, and hyper-touring motorcycles into a single, cohesive design. Featuring 17-inch wheels and tires, the Alpinista delivers a riding experience that is as practical as it is exhilarating. Priced at an MSRP of $15,999 USD**, the Alpinista is available for purchase immediately, allowing riders to experience the future of motorcycling today.
Design and Versatility
The Alpinista has been meticulously designed to cater to a wide range of riders, offering unparalleled personalization, practicality, and performance. By reimagining the S2 platform, LiveWire has created a motorcycle that combines the agility of a supermoto with the versatility of a touring bike. This unique blend results in a practical yet thrilling sport standard that is perfectly suited for urban commuting, weekend adventures, and everything in between.
One of the standout features of the Alpinista is its 17-inch wheels, which not only enhance riding capability but also lower the seat height by 1.1 inches compared to the S2 Del Mar. This adjustment makes the motorcycle more accessible to a broader range of riders. Paired with Dunlop® Roadsmart IV tires, the Alpinista delivers exceptional street performance, boasting lean angles of 52.1° on the left and 44.2° on the right. Whether navigating city streets or carving through winding mountain roads, the Alpinista ensures a comfortable and confident ride.
Advanced Technology for Enhanced Safety
Safety and performance are at the core of the Alpinista’s design. Equipped with a 6-axis IMU from Bosch, the motorcycle features advanced cornering-enhanced antilock braking and traction control systems. These technologies provide riders with superior stability and control, even in challenging riding conditions. Additionally, the Alpinista offers four preset ride modes—Sport, Road, Rain, and Eco—as well as two customizable modes. This allows riders to tailor the bike’s performance to their specific preferences and riding environments, making it equally appealing to newcomers and seasoned motorcyclists.
Electrifying Performance
Built on LiveWire’s innovative S2 platform, the Alpinista shares the same high-performance DNA as the S2 Del Mar and S2 Mulholland. Weighing in at 434 pounds, the Alpinista is powered by an 84-horsepower electric motor that delivers an impressive 194 lb-ft of torque. This translates to a breathtaking acceleration of 0 to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds, offering riders an exhilarating experience every time they twist the throttle.
The Alpinista’s 10.5 kWh battery pack provides a range of up to 120 miles in city conditions and 71 miles on the highway*. This balance of power and efficiency ensures that riders can enjoy extended journeys without compromising performance. The motorcycle is equipped with both Level 1 and Level 2 charging capabilities, offering convenience and flexibility. Charging times are as follows:
- Level 1: 20-80% charge in 5.9 hours
- Level 2: 20-80% charge in just 78 minutes
