MAXX Jinxx ELF 2025

From £4,320

The MAXX Jinxx ELF is a German hand-built lightweight trail eMTB centred on the Fazua Ride 60 motor (60 Nm, 450 W peak) paired with a removable 430 Wh down-tube battery. The 6061-T6 aluminium frame keeps system weight low, aimed at riders who want moderate, natural-feeling assistance rather than the heft of a full-power drive.MAXX sells the Jinxx ELF as a custom configurator bike, so the listed build is the standard specification rather than a range of fixed trims. It is a sensible, function-first kit: a RockShox Pike Select fork and Fox Float X TR shock front the suspension, with Shimano XT/SLX 11-speed Linkglide shifting and four-piston Shimano Deore brakes on 203/180mm rotors. Wheels are hand-built on Miche/Newmen rims, and finishing kit is mostly MAXX's own components.Geometry is consistent and trail-oriented across the size run, with a 66-degree head angle and a 75 to 75.5-degree effective seat angle throughout. Reach grows from 443mm on the S to 505mm on the XL. The S size runs 27.5in wheels with 130mm rear travel, while M, L and XL move to 29in wheels and 140mm rear travel, giving smaller riders a more manageable stance and taller riders the rollover of the bigger hoops.

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

Wheels

Descending

A solid all-round descender (66° head angle, 140mm) — capable in the rough and steep without being an all-out bruiser.

Playfulness

More planted than poppy — better on steep terrain than tight, fiddly singletrack.

Size balance

Rear-long with a planted front in L (FC:RC 1.75) — easy to weight the front and quick to turn, though it can feel light at the back at real speed.

Technical climbing

Climbs well — a 75° seat keeps the front planted. 450W of peak power and 60Nm of torque.

Best suited toAll-round trail riding across mixed terrain.

No single standout trait — a balanced, versatile bike.

Watch out forNot a flickable, playful bike — built to plough, not pop.

Brilliant on fast, rough, steep terrain; less fun on tight, mellow trails.
