EMTB Forums verdict

The iLynx+ DL Trail is BH's new dedicated 140mm trail chassis in the iLynx+ DL family, launched July 2026 alongside the 170mm Enduro sibling. It is a genuinely separate frame, not a travel-adjusted Enduro: 140mm rear Split Pivot with a 150mm fork (140mm on the base build), its own geometry (65 degree head angle versus the Enduro's 63.5, with a 78 degree seat angle on both) and shorter 447mm stays. All six builds get the same 800Wh battery, and every build bar the base runs the DJI-made Avinox M2S with 150Nm and 1300W peak, which is standout drive-unit spec at these prices.

Value: the range starts at 3,499.90 GBP for the alloy Trail 7.9, an aggressive entry price for an 800Wh Avinox bike, though note the 7.9 runs the older Avinox M2 motor, a 10-speed Deore drivetrain and an SR Suntour XCR34 fork.
Sweet spots: the Trail 8.1 (4,999.90 GBP) is the top alloy build with FOX 36 AWL, Float Rhythm and XT shifting; the Trail Carbon 8.7 (6,399.90 GBP) adds the full-carbon frame, Fox 36 Performance, Float X and XT Di2 shifting.
Flagship: the Trail Carbon 8.8 (7,299.90 GBP) gets a Factory-level 36, XT Di2 with the CSM8200 cassette and DT Swiss H1900 wheels at a claimed 21kg.
Geometry: roomy for a trail bike, with 440 to 520mm reach across S to XL on the carbon frame, 29in wheels front and rear, and 203mm rotors on every build.

This bike launched in July 2026, so there is no owner feedback or long-term reliability data on the forum yet; the above is based purely on BH's published specifications.

Geometry read

What the numbers mean on the trail

Computed from this bike's geometry, spec and build kit — reach, wheelbase, chainstay, head and seat angles, travel, motor, weight and the fork/tyre/brake spec — and worked out per size, because a fixed chainstay can make an S and an XL feel very different.

Size

Setting

Descending

A solid all-round descender (65° head angle, 140mm) — capable in the rough and steep without being an all-out bruiser.

Playfulness

Short 447mm rear and a lighter build — easy to pop, manual and throw around.

Size balance

Balanced front-to-rear in L (FC:RC 1.86) — weight sits evenly between the wheels.

Technical climbing

Avinox M2S and a steep 78° seat angle keep the weight planted over the front — a proper winch. 1300W of peak power and 150Nm of torque — among the most powerful e-bike motors made.

Best suited toPlayful trail riding — jumps, pumps and tight, techy singletrack.

Easy to throw around; happiest when you're active on the bike.

Watch out forNo major red flags in the L geometry.

The numbers are well balanced for its category.
