📢 “I am almost certain that this is the best e-bike motor system currently available, by a wide margin.”
—— Benji, MBR Chief Test Editor (Mountain Bike Rider)
⚡ Power system: truly from the future
DJI Avinox M1 motor parameters at a glance:
Parameter Value
Maximum torque 105Nm (120Nm in Boost mode)
Peak power 850W (1000W in Boost)
Weight 2.52kg (much lighter than most competing products on the market)
Riding modes Eco / Trail / Turbo / Auto / Boost
It is worth noting that the Boost mode only lasts for 30 seconds, but can instantly burst out amazing power. In contrast, most lightweight eMTBs of the same level (such as Specialized SL2, TQ HPR-50) only provide 50~60Nm torque, while Amflow directly maximizes the performance limit.
📲 All-round control can be achieved through the OLED touch screen and dual-handle remote control, with a clear interface and quick response. DJI also supports controlling riding modes, custom auxiliary curves, and even connecting DJI Action cameras through the App for one-click shooting.
🔋 Battery and battery life: Do you choose 600Wh lightness and flexibility, or 800Wh ultra-long battery life?
Amflow PL Carbon Pro provides:
600Wh battery (2.87kg): lighter, suitable for agile riding
800Wh battery (3.74kg): safer for long-distance riding
The built-in battery does not support quick removal, but is compatible with DJI GaN fast charging (charged to 75% in 1.5 hours). Different versions can be selected according to riding style, and the battery life and vehicle weight can be reasonably balanced.
🧪 E-Mountainbike Magazine said:
“In the long-term climbing test, the Avinox system stood out with stable output and energy-saving control.”
🧠 Responsiveness: From “assistance” to “resonance” experience
DJI Avinox is not a “power assist” in the traditional sense, but an intelligent power system that can sense the rider’s movements:
Equipped with a 42-point induction disk rear wheel speed sensor (far better than the traditional 1-point)
Built-in acceleration sensor + inertial monitoring system
Can judge the rider’s output intensity in real time and match the optimal power
This system makes riding “unreal smooth”. On steep slopes and technical sections, Avinox makes people feel like dancing with a tacit partner.
🧩 Geometry and structural design: There is still room for improvement
Although the power system is almost perfect, the frame geometry of the PL Carbon Pro is still conservative:
Project Performance
Rear shock travel 150mm
Front shock Fox 36 160mm (Grip X2 damper)
Frame structure Standard 4-link design, carbon fiber material (whole vehicle 21.69kg)
Tester Benji pointed out: The shorter rear chainstay and seat tube angle easily cause the front wheel to lift up during steep climbs, which limits its climbing performance on extreme terrain. However, the whole vehicle setting is very suitable for long-distance forest roads and XC+ level trail riding.
✅ Summary of riding experience
Advantages:
✔ The motor is extremely responsive, comparable to “Neural Connection”
✔ OLED interface + dual wireless remote control design, excellent interactive experience
✔ Excellent weight control of the whole vehicle, reasonable battery life
✔ Natural riding feel, Auto mode is surprisingly easy to use
Disadvantages:
⚠ The geometry is slightly conservative, and the steep slope control needs to be strengthened
⚠ Although the Boost mode is powerful, the trail practicality is limited
⚠ After-sales and durability still need market verification
🏁 Summary: PL Carbon Pro is the pioneer of 2025 eMTB, but it is not “impeccable” yet
If you are looking for top motor response, flexible control and digital integration, Amflow PL Carbon Pro is undoubtedly one of the most worthwhile electric mountain bikes on the market.
The only thing to note is that it is more inclined to long-distance trail riding, not for extreme downhill or competitive enduro racing. But this is also the important feature that attracts mainstream enthusiasts: easy, smart, controllable, and has amazing power potential.
