PL 2025

The Amflow PL 2025 is the carbon trail/enduro bike that put DJI on the eMTB map. Built around the DJI Avinox M1 motor (105 Nm continuous, manufacturer-claimed 1000 W peak) and an 800 Wh removable pack, it pairs full-power output with a 19.2 kg claimed weight thanks to a 2.27 kg carbon frame. 160 mm fork, 150 mm rear, 64.5 degree head angle, 445 mm chainstays, reach from 452 to 525 mm. The community verdict in one line: technically brilliant, motor is the real deal, but support and after-sales are where the question marks sit. As @Jazzii put it after a full day on enduro and flow trails: "Yes it's capable enough for enduro riding, yes it's quiet but not like a TQ, no rattling going downhill."

Drive system and range. The Avinox M1 is the headline. 2.52 kg of motor delivering 105 Nm and a claimed 1000 W peak through copper-wound stator windings, with a 2-inch OLED display recessed into the top tube and a smartphone app for tuning. The 800 Wh FP800 pack charges from flat to 75 percent in roughly 90 minutes on the GaN fast charger. Power delivery is smooth and the over-cadence cutoff is barely noticeable. Firmware updates have been rolled out via the Amflow app, with @Amflow_Support confirming an early OTA that resolved critical user-reported issues. Real-world reports from the forum suggest sensible range on the 800 Wh battery in trail use; US buyers got the 800 Wh option at launch rather than the 600 Wh.

Geometry and handling. 64.5 degrees head angle is bang on the trail/enduro norm for 2025, not slack-bro territory. Reach climbs sensibly: 452 mm (M), 475 mm (L), 500 mm (XL), 525 mm (XXL). Chainstays stay at 445 mm across all four sizes, which keeps the wheelbase tight on the M (1227 mm) and stretched on the XXL (1318 mm) for tall riders who actually want length. A flip-chip in the rocker preserves geometry for a 27.5 inch rear wheel, though complete bikes ship as full 29ers. The 19.2 kg claimed weight makes this ride more like a lightweight than a Levo or Rise, despite the full-power motor.

Build and value. Two trims, both honest. The Carbon at £5,499 gets you FOX 36 Performance with GRIP damper, Float Performance shock, Magura MT5 brakes and SRAM Eagle 70 Transmission. The Pro at £6,499 (20.3 kg) upgrades to FOX Factory 36 with GRIP X2, Float X Factory shock with Kashima, Magura MT7 Pro and SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission. Both run 203 mm rotors front and rear, which is the right call given the power on tap. The Carbon is the value sweet spot; the Pro is worth it if you want the GRIP X2 damper and X0 build.

Community-verified strengths.

• Motor performance is the standout. DJI's published M1 spec is 1000 W continuous, 120 Nm peak at 2.52 kg.
• Build longevity is reasonable. @Josh1988bmx reported 420 miles on a 2025 PL Large with just 14 charge cycles after 14 months of ownership.
• Quietness and ride quality have been praised across multiple posts, with the bike feeling closer to a lightweight than its full-power category peers.

Caveats and known gripes.

• Wheel build quality is the recurring flag. @Phil_13fr reported three spoke failures in nine months on the HMC-30 rear wheel, with replacement spokes costing €18.40 each. @paulsarg was quoted $750 for a full rear wheel rebuild on the PL Pro.
• Local support is thin. @emtbeast flagged the lack of in-region service network as the biggest concern for an electrical product where downtime kills your season.
• Some riders want a 38 mm fork for harder enduro use, with @emtbeast noting the 36 feels lackluster if you push the bike beyond its trail brief.

Verdict. The PL is currently the most interesting full-power carbon eMTB at this weight, and the Avinox M1 has rewritten what the rest of the industry has to chase. Buy it if you want bleeding-edge motor tech, a 19.2 kg bike that climbs like a lightweight and descends like a full-fat, and you can stomach the DTC/limited-dealer support model. Look elsewhere if you need a local dealer for warranty work, or if you ride hard enduro and want a 38 mm fork off the peg. Production status: current, with two trims available and ongoing firmware support from Amflow.
