Why Riders Love Avinox
150Nm of Torque
Torque is what gets you moving, and with an incredible 150Nm on tap, the Avinox system delivers effortless climbing power and instant acceleration. Whether you're tackling steep, technical climbs or powering out of tight corners, it responds immediately, making even the toughest trails feel more manageable.
1500W Peak Power
When the trail demands everything you've got, Avinox delivers. With up to 1500 watts of peak power, the motor provides a huge burst of assistance exactly when you need it. It helps you clear technical obstacles, conquer brutal climbs, and maintain momentum without feeling like the bike is doing all the work.
Intelligent Auto Mode
Forget constantly switching assist levels. Auto Mode continuously monitors your speed, cadence, gradient, and rider input to deliver the perfect amount of power. The result is a smooth, natural ride that lets you focus on the trail instead of the controls.
Instant Boost Mode
Sometimes you just need a little extra. Boost Mode unleashes maximum assistance at the press of a button, giving you a surge of power for steep pinches, rock ledges, or rapid acceleration. It's there when the trail throws its biggest challenges your way.
Crystal-Clear OLED Touchscreen
The integrated OLED touchscreen is bright, responsive, and easy to read in all conditions. Ride data, battery level, navigation, and system settings are all available with a simple tap or swipe, giving your bike a premium, modern feel without cluttering the cockpit.
Seamless Smartphone Integration
Connect your phone and unlock even more from your ride. Adjust motor settings, personalise ride modes, view detailed ride statistics, update the system wirelessly, and access navigation, all from the convenience of the companion app. Your bike continues to improve with regular software updates.
Lightweight Without Compromise
Power doesn't have to mean extra weight. The Avinox drive system has been engineered to be remarkably lightweight, helping your bike retain the agile handling and playful feel of a traditional mountain bike. The result is an eMTB that's easier to manoeuvre, more confidence-inspiring on descents, and simply more enjoyable to ride.
The Complete Riding Experience
Avinox combines exceptional power, intelligent technology, and an intuitive riding experience into one of the most advanced e-bike systems available today. From all-day adventures to demanding trail rides, it delivers the confidence, control, and performance that modern riders expect from a premium eMTB.
