Two quite different bikes, these. Let me break down what you're looking at. The Amflow PL Pro Carbon is the one generating all the buzz right now. DJI Avinox motor, 800Wh battery, 160mm front / 150mm rear travel, and it comes in around 19-21kg depending on the build and size. That's absurdly light for a full-power eMTB. @Matt Beer (Pinkbike) weighed a large at 19.71kg tubeless without pedals. The Avinox motor puts out 105Nm/850W, which is aggressive, quiet, and app-tuneable. @Brawwp describes it as a 'very very good bike' at a good price point, and @Lightme reported getting Strava KOMs on 3 of 4 long ascents without trying. Community consensus is it's a trail bike that punches well above its weight, though @Astro66 notes noticeable frame flex compared to purpose-built enduro frames if you're really pushing it.
