Drone and action camera manufacturer DJI has entered the electric mountain bike market with the Avinox \u2013 a 2.25kg lightweight motor system that delivers twice as much torque as its competitors. \u00a0<\/p>

The electric bike motor<\/a> is accompanied by a fully-fledged app and two lightweight battery options.<\/p>

The motor is specced exclusively on the Amflow PL at launch. <\/p>

Torque, torque, torque<\/h2>
With its claimed torque output of 105 Nm, the Avinox trumps its competitors by a fair margin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
Motor specs:<\/strong> 105 Nm torque, 2.52 kg<\/li>
Battery specs:<\/strong> 800\/600 Wh, 3.74\/2.87 kg<\/li>
Five assistance modes, including auto-assist<\/li><\/ul>
The headline stat of the new Avinox motor is its claimed 105 Nm torque output. <\/p>
That\u2019s twice as much as other lightweight motors, such as Specialized\u2019s SL 1.2 (50 Nm).\u00a0<\/p>
The DJI Avinox also easily out-powers bigger motors like Shimano\u2019s EP8<\/a> and Bosch\u2019s Line CX, both of which both deliver 85 Nm. <\/p>
Whether or not that much torque is actually usable on the trail depends on the system\u2019s power delivery, but it’s still an impressive figure.<\/p>
With a claimed weight of 2.53kg, the Avinox motor slots somewhere between the weight of a lightweight and a full-power<\/a> motor. <\/p>
Specialized\u2019s SL1.2 offering tips the scales at approximately 1.9kg, whereas the EP8 and Line CX systems weigh 2.6kg and 2.9kg respectively.\u00a0<\/p>
Auto-assist, motor modes and integration<\/h2>
$\"\"$
DJI is aiming high with the Avinox system, packing a punch with its claimed low weight, high power and large battery capacity.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
The Avinox motor has five assistance modes, all of which are tunable via the Avinox app. <\/p>
Riders can choose from the traditional Eco, Trail and Turbo modes, as well as a 30-second Boost mode, which temporarily delivers maximum power and torque.\u00a0<\/p>
$\"\"$
The Avinox OLED display shows you your stats and has a USB-C output.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
For riders prefer a set-and-forget approach, DJI\u2019s motor features an auto mode. This automatically adapts assistance based on real-time information from in-built sensors. Exactly how this will work and what data the sensors collect is yet to be announced.\u00a0<\/p>
The accompanying Avinox app enables users to tube power modes, log rides and configure bike security settings.<\/p>
Lightweight batteries for a lightweight motor<\/h2>
$\"\"$
Both sizes of the Li-ion battery boast impressively light weights.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
The motor is accompanied by two lithium-ion batteries. <\/p>
The flagship battery has an 800 Wh capacity and a claimed weight of just 3.74kg \u2013 that’s 600g lighter than the 750 Wh Bosch Powertube 750.<\/p>
A lighter 2.87kg 600 Wh battery is also available. Again, this is considerably lighter than comparable offerings from Bosch, such as the Powertube 625, which weighs 3.5kg.\u00a0<\/p>
Amflow PL Carbon<\/h2>
$\"\"$ <\/figure>
At launch, the Avinox motor is exclusively specced on the Amflow PL Carbon.\u00a0<\/p>
Information about the Amflow brand is scarce, and the PL Carbon is the only bike currently in its lineup.\u00a0<\/p>
$\"\"$
The integration of the Avinox system looks sleek.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
The Amflow\u2019s carbon frame has a claimed weight of 2.27kg (without motor or battery), with full builds starting at 19.2 kg. It has 150 mm of rear suspension travel, which is delivered by a four-bar linkage design.\u00a0<\/p>
The Amflow PL Carbon is compatible with both 29in and 27.5in rear wheels. Swapping from one wheel size to another is done via a flip-chip. Amflow\u2019s size charts suggest four sizes will be available, from M – XXL.\u00a0<\/p>
Amflow PL Carbon spec, pricing and availability<\/h3>
According to Amflow\u2019s website, two models will be available \u2013 the PL Carbon and the PL Carbon Pro. Pricing is yet to be announced, as is the availability of the bikes, but we do know that both builds will use Fox suspension, SRAM drivetrains and Magura brakes.\u00a0<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
