New System on Brett Tippie's new Sponsors bike?

[TG73]

Is this a new system on the bike Brett Tippie is riding? Looks like he's saying who it is today

similarly shaped as the new mahle m40 display, but no logo and the button is not v shaped

Similar size and shape to Avinox, could it be a lower tier/different version some are saying is coming out?

Not true, they already sell the Gen4 SL (Super lourd).... and might do a light weight version of that soon.

He said on his FB he was in Arizona to pick up his new bike, but that it's not Pivot.

I'm sure he'll still have access to (e)MTBs, either his own or loaned.

I think the point is maybe Aventon are expanding into the mtb market and has developed something which he is testing.

Exactly! 99% sure he is hinting at that.

Looks like the have their own branded motors with 100nm/750w on this hardtail.. I assume the full sus bike will be using similar if not the same system.

I spotted him too, who the hell is that?! On second look, it almost looks like Tippie with his head shaved, and a crazy looking mini-wig, which is exactly the sort of thing he would do.

That’s totally Tippie! I had a closer look, you can see the rubber “bald head” part of the wig, and that’s Tippie’s face for sure!

Oh yeah, just looked closer myself and see what you mean about the rubber part. The bald head has a distinctly different skin tone to the rest of his face. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of specs the new bikes have, as the reviews of their motors on more casual and commuter bikes sounded pretty good. The fact I'm wondering such things is an indicator that I guess they're already getting their money's worth out of their new hire!

This is the "Aventon Current", scheduled for release sometime this month (March 2026).

There is another thread someone started here on emtbforums to discuss the Aventon Current, that might be a better place for further discussion of the bike itself: https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/aventon-current.45566/

My initial impression on the bike is very promising, and after watching th Loam Wolf review in the other thread, I think it could be genuinely game changing in a few key ways related to waterproofing and repairability, vs. the norm that we've all been forced to accept so far, simply because there were no better options.

There was no dedicated thread when I replied to this one, but yes... probably best to continue any further discussion there.
