LiveWire is set to unveil the S2 Alpinista on January 15, expanding its electric lineup alongside the S2 Del Mar, S2 Mulholland, and LiveWire One. With its focus on personalization, practicality, and performance, the Alpinista promises to “set the standard for urban riding and beyond.”
It will be interesting to see what this bike brings to the table as we enter 2025 because this next bike could be a pivotable one for LiveWire.
What Will the LiveWire S2 Alpinista Bring?
Visually, the LiveWire S2 Alpinista shares its DNA with the Mulholland, but subtle changes hint at its unique identity. A tall windscreen, optional SW-Motech side cases, and a higher rear tail with a possible pillion seat set it apart.
Swiss certification data reveals it shares the Mulholland’s 30 kW (40 hp) power and 194 lb-ft torque, along with a top speed of 99 mph. At 604 pounds, it’s marginally lighter, and its 17-inch front wheel, a first for an S2 model, aligns it closer to the flagship LiveWire One.
The Alpinista’s name, derived from “mountaineer,” signals a shift in branding, evoking European sensibilities. Promotional material filmed in Utah’s mountainous terrain and an exclusive Paris event hint at LiveWire’s intent to court European riders.
Whether it’s urban streets or alpine climbs, the LiveWire S2 Alpinista aims to carve a new path for electric motorcycling. Full details await its January debut, promising an intriguing chapter for the Harley-Davidson-owned brand.
