After a year of testing across automotive, tech, and everything in between, Men’s Journal named the LiveWire S2 Alpinista to its 2026 Gear of the Year, highlighting it as one of the most game‑changing innovations out right now.
“It’s the electric motorcycle that serious riders have been waiting for—and the one skeptics are running out of reasons to dismiss.”
S2 Alpinista wasn’t built to overpromise. It was built to show up.
Lightweight. Quick off the line. Easy to live with.
The kind of ride that feels intuitive from the first twist of the throttle and keeps proving itself the longer you ride it.
