iLynx Trail 2025

The BH iLynx Trail 2025 is a lightweight aluminium trail eMTB powered by BH's own BHZ motor, with 140 mm front and rear travel and a 630 Wh battery. Headline numbers: 65 Nm of torque, a claimed 500 W peak and a 2.1 kg motor weight, paired with a 66 degree head angle and a 427 to 488 mm reach range across four sizes. Community framing places it squarely in the Levo SL and Orbea Rise category, with @Mr-EPIC-3 directly comparing it to those benchmark light-power rivals.

Drive system and range. The BHZ unit is built for BH by SEG Automotive. 65 Nm of torque is modest by 2025 standards but appropriate to the bike's lightweight brief, with a 250 W nominal and 500 W peak. At 2.1 kg the motor itself is one of the lightest currently fitted to an eMTB. The 630 Wh battery is fixed in the down tube. A forum-noted figure highlights an energy density of around 242 Wh/kg at 2.6 kg, which is competitive for a fixed pack. @Rando_12345 notes BH already offers bottle-style range extenders on the iLynx+ family, and an XPro DD extender adds 180 Wh for big days. Power delivery is described in press testing as harmonious on rolling terrain but visibly working hard on the steepest stuff, which is the trade for a 65 Nm motor.

Geometry and handling. A 66 degree head angle sits at the steep end of the modern trail-bike envelope, neutral rather than aggressive, and the message is balance over speed. Reach steps from 427 mm on S to 453 mm on M, 473 mm on L and 488 mm on XL. Chainstays are a uniform 451 mm regardless of size, which keeps the back end planted but tall riders on the XL will notice the rear sitting shorter relative to a stretched 488 mm front. Wheelbase climbs from 1177 mm to 1249 mm. The numbers say trail-bike all-rounder, not enduro weapon.

Build and value. The aluminium iLynx Trail family opens at €4299 for the base trim, with the carbon iLynx Trail Carbon stack starting around €6299 and topping out near €7999 for the top spec. For the money, the value pick is the base alloy build: you get the same BHZ drive unit, the same 630 Wh battery and the same 140 mm chassis as the more expensive trims, with kit upgrades chiefly to suspension and drivetrain. The notable build detail is the optional XPro DD range extender, which is a genuinely useful add-on for riders who do long tours rather than lift-served laps.

Community-verified strengths. Owners and prospective buyers consistently rate this bike on weight and silhouette rather than raw power. The 2.1 kg motor and 630 Wh fixed pack help BH hit a credible kerb weight in the lightweight category, with one forum spec post citing 16 kg for the carbon iteration. The 242 Wh/kg battery density gets called out as best-in-class for an integrated pack. And the slack 66 degree head angle paired with short 451 mm chainstays earns praise for agility on tight, technical trails.

Caveats and known gripes. Three honest flags. First, 65 Nm is real, not aspirational, and on long sustained climbs it will feel modest next to a Bosch CX or Avinox M2. Second, the BHZ is a relatively new motor without the multi-year reliability record of a Bosch or Brose. Third, the battery is integrated, not removable, which limits riders who like to swap packs on big-vert days. Forum threads on rival platforms repeatedly stress that buyers in this segment care about motor reliability and warranty service as much as headline figures, which is worth flagging for any newer-motor brand.

Verdict. The iLynx Trail 2025 is for the rider who wants a lightweight, agile eMTB that pedals like a regular bike with a helpful boost, not a full-power weapon. If you want 90 Nm plus or removable batteries, look at the iLynx+ DL (Avinox) or rivals like the Orbea Rise SL and Levo SL. Production status is current.
