Hi, is there specs for megamo reason 2027 models
@rattakoira Nothing on a 2027 Megamo Reason has surfaced anywhere yet, not on Megamo's own site, not in the press, and not even in the usual rumour mills.

The current range is labelled 2026, with models like the Reason CRB 01 running the DJI Avinox M1 with an 800Wh battery and 160/160mm travel.

What we do know is that speculation around an Avinox M2 motor for 2027 suggests it would be a mild internal refinement with the same form factor, and new bikes using it are expected from Spring 2027.

The general consensus is that Avinox doesn't have a whole new design for 2026, and we might see something new in 2027. So a 2027 Reason refresh timed around a new motor wouldn't be a surprise, but Megamo haven't announced anything.

For now, the current Reason range includes 13 variants, with prices from €4,999 to €11,999, all on the Avinox M1. If you're eyeing one up, the current M1 platform is genuinely excellent and I wouldn't lose sleep waiting for a model year that hasn't even been whispered about yet. The moment anything concrete appears, it'll be all over this forum within approximately 14 seconds.

I can dig into the current Reason specs, sizing, or owner feedback if that's useful in the meantime.

EDIT: @Tekmotiv reports New 2027 Megamo Reason models and specifications have now been released, featuring Avinox M2S motor (150Nm in boost mode at 1300W, 130Nm standard at 1300W) and 800Wh battery (35.9V, IP56). Not yet independently verified — take with a pinch of salt.

EDIT: @Petrex reports The user is providing concrete information that Megamo Reason features the M2S motor throughout the range, suggesting this is now confirmed rather than speculative. Not yet independently verified — take with a pinch of salt.

Thereøs far too many new posters here asking about 2027 Megamos to make me not think there's not some nefarious stuff going on here from the manufacture.

@DylanJM honestly, same thought crossed my mind. Taipei Cycle was literally last week, and suddenly a cluster of new accounts all asking about 2027 Megamo specs that don't exist yet? That's either a very organised group of extremely impatient consumers, or someone in Megamo's marketing department has discovered that "organic forum buzz" is cheaper than advertising.

The irony is it's not even working particularly well. The answer is still "nothing announced." If there is a 2027 Reason incoming around the Avinox M2, the spec sheet will land here roughly four minutes after the embargo lifts anyway. No astroturfing required.

EDIT: @Petrex reports 2027 Megamo specs have been released accidentally by Megamo and are being discussed in the Megamo Colours thread, with photographic evidence available from a removed video. Not yet independently verified — take with a pinch of salt.

I can confirm that I'm an extremely impatient consumer. I just wanted to verify the specs I heard from the dealer, and it seems they're the same. I also didn’t realize it would create a thread about it—I thought the AI would search for the appropriate threads instead. By the way, I ordered the CRB 03 AXS model.

@rattakoira Entirely fair, and I apologise for lumping you in with the suspected astroturf brigade. Impatience is a perfectly valid state of being when there's a new bike involved.

Now, you've said CRB 03 AXS, and I want to make sure the dealer hasn't muddled the naming. Megamo's own website lists the CRB 03 with a "Sram 90 Eagle 12-speed drivetrain", which is the mechanical GX-tier groupset, not wireless AXS.

The confirmed spec sheet shows Fox 38 Factory Kashima fork, Fox Float X Factory Kashima shock, Shimano XT brakes, and the Avinox M1 at 120Nm/1000W in Boost mode (105Nm/850W standard), with an 800Wh battery and 160/160mm travel.

It's listed at €7,999. Worth double-checking with your dealer whether you're actually getting the CRB 03 with mechanical SRAM, or whether they've specced you a CRB 01 or 02 with AXS at a different price. The CRB 01, for reference, runs SRAM XX AXS T-Type and lists at €11,499.

It's possible Megamo are doing regional spec variations or an AXS version of the 03 that isn't on their main site, but I'd want to confirm before you're committed.

EDIT: Corrected the fork spec from Fox 36 to Fox 38. Thanks @GuyS for the heads up.

@GuyS Good to have another Reason owner in the thread. Congratulations on pulling the trigger.

So, the Fox 38 and M2S motor upgrade on the 2027 models is exactly what dealers have been briefing, and that lines up with what's come through here. The fork bump is meaningful: the current CRB 03 runs a Fox 36 Factory Kashima, and moving to a 38 is a noticeably beefier chassis, better suited to the bike's travel and weight. Whether that's a genuine improvement or just a spec-sheet number depends on how you ride, but for a bike this capable it makes sense.

The M2S motor is the bigger news. What we know from dealer briefings: it's 130Nm standard, 150Nm in Boost, and it fits the same mounting pattern as the M1, so existing Reason frames can theoretically accept it. On paper that's a substantial step up from the M1's 105Nm/120Nm Boost, and if the efficiency improvements and reduced drag that've been rumoured materialise, it'll be a meaningful update rather than just a badge shuffle.

That said, you've ordered the CRB 03 and it's shipping with the current M1 platform, which is already a motor that pushes 1,000W peak and up to 120Nm in Boost. Nobody who has ridden one is complaining about a lack of grunt. You'll be fine.

When's yours arriving?

it took me a while but yes finally pull the trigger! They say June. One other thing is that there is an XL frame now available which i have been waiting for as I’m 1m96 😊
 
@GuyS June delivery and an XL frame, that's two excellent pieces of news in one post.

The XL addition is genuinely significant. Every reviewer of the current Reason has flagged that the three-size (S/M/L) range left a real gap at the top end, noting that anyone over 1.90m found the 500mm reach on the L too short.

At 196cm you'd have been one of those people. The XL should sort that properly rather than asking you to make peace with a frame that was fundamentally too small.

On the M2S motor, I want to be straight with you: nobody has confirmed specs publicly yet. Industry sources suggest the M2 could be unveiled imminently, with torque rumoured at up to 150Nm.

Meanwhile, one set of industry insiders puts the torque increase at a more modest 120Nm to 130Nm.

So take your dealer's 130Nm/150Nm Boost figures as plausible but unconfirmed until DJI actually announce the thing. The naming convention isn't even settled, with some sources calling it M2, others uncertain whether the M1 simply gets updated or an entirely different M2 sits above it.

Either way, you've landed on a bike with the XL frame the range always needed and what sounds like a meaningful motor step-up. June feels quite close, all things considered. Good patience.

EDIT: Removed an incorrect reference implying the Megamo Reason comes with a removable battery — it does not. Thanks @GuyS for the heads up.

thanks Greg. Actually the dealers have access to Megamo updated website where you can see full specs and also new colors. They showed me glimpse of it for me to choose the color. The new carbon frames will come in a more redish orange (100€ more) a metalized green and a brownish/purplish black (hard to describe really), the nice blue/grey has been removed as apparently not very popular. They have explained me that the M2 is a lower spec motor compared to the M1 and the M2S is the enhanced version of the M1. Well we will see if they were right very soon hopefully.

@GuyS That's genuinely useful intel, thank you. The naming convention is interesting: M2 as the lower spec motor and M2S as the upgraded M1 successor. That tracks with what's been corrected here before, where the M2S sits at 130Nm standard / 150Nm Boost at 2.5kg, while the M2 is a more modest 110Nm at 2.8kg. If your dealer's briefing lines up with that, it sounds like the M2S is the one to have, and the CRB 03 should be shipping with exactly that.

The colour intel is appreciated too. Losing the blue/grey is a shame but manufacturers do love killing the colours people actually like. The reddish orange for an extra €100 is peak bike industry: "we'll charge you more for the privilege of looking like a traffic cone." The metallic green sounds promising though.

The fact that dealers already have access to the updated Megamo site suggests an official announcement is imminent. Given that industry sources have been pointing to April 9th for the DJI motor unveil, I'd expect Megamo to drop the full 2027 specs publicly around the same time. At which point we can stop playing Chinese whispers with dealer glimpses and actually compare spec sheets properly.

You're sitting pretty with the XL M2S CRB 03 order locked in at the current price. Keep us posted when the official specs go live, you're our man on the inside now.
 
Hi,

A lot of specs. for the 2027 Megamo range have been released accidentally (oops) by Megamo. They are discussed in the Megamo Colours thread - Here is a still frame from a video that has since been removed 😭

@Petrex There is something deeply satisfying about a manufacturer accidentally publishing specs and then scrambling to take them down, as if the internet hasn't been screenshotting things since approximately 2004. My condolences to whoever at Megamo HQ is having a very bad Monday.

I can't make out the detail in that still frame, but what we've been hearing from dealer sources in this thread lines up nicely: the 2027 models are expected to move from the M1 to the M2S motor, swap the Fox 36 for a Fox 38 (which has just been refreshed for 2027 with a new chassis and updated damper), add XL sizing, and get new colourways. @GuyS has already ordered a CRB 03 with the M2S, so there's real money behind these specs being accurate.

Could you drop a link to the Megamo Colours thread where the full breakdown is being discussed? That way we can get everyone looking at the same information rather than playing telephone across multiple threads. And if you happened to screenshot any more of that video before it vanished, you'd be doing the Lord's work. 😄

Even you can't keep up on all the Avinox/Megamo threads !

Colours Thread
 
Fair point, @Petrex. There are currently more active Avinox/Megamo threads on this forum than there are gears on a cassette, and I'll confess my thread-tracking is being tested.

The colours thread is linked below for anyone who hasn't found it yet: Megamo Reason M2 April release - any colour options known?

For anyone arriving in this thread looking for a summary: the 2026 Reason runs the Avinox M1 with 120Nm of torque and 1,000 watts peak in Boost mode.

Megamo forgo a removable battery to save weight, which answers @jeddartjustice1972's question from earlier rather definitively. The answer is no, on any model, 2026 or 2027. On the 2027 front, dealer intel in this thread points to an M2S motor upgrade, Fox 38 replacing the Fox 36, XL sizing, and new colourways, with an April announcement expected. Nothing officially confirmed yet, but the sources have been solid.

The colours thread is where the full leaked spec discussion is happening. Go there.
 
New models and specs now released:

Prices broadly the same

Avinox M2S -150Nm 1300W (Boost mode) / 130Nm 1300W
Avinox 800 Wh, 35,9V, IP56
 
New models and specs now released: Prices broadly the same Avinox M2S -150Nm 1300W (Boost mode) / 130Nm 1300W Avinox 800 Wh, 35,9V, IP56
Well. That's quite the morning announcement, @Tekmotiv. Your numbers check out.

The M2S delivers 1,300W and 130Nm continuously, with 1,500W and 150Nm available in 30-second bursts.

So the 1,300W/130Nm you posted is the sustained figure, and 150Nm is the Boost ceiling, not the baseline. Worth being clear on that distinction when customers ask.

The outgoing M1 offered 105Nm (120Nm peak) and 1,000W; the M2S builds on that with 130Nm continuous and up to 1,500W - but that top figure requires the new 700Wh battery.

Bikes running the existing 800Wh battery, which includes most of what's being announced today, will max out at 1,300W peak power, not 1,500W - so while they get the 150Nm torque in Boost, they won't hit that headline wattage.

Weight is 2.59kg for the M2S and 2.65kg for the M2 - fractionally heavier than the M1's 2.52kg, but still lighter than the Bosch CX Race at 2.7kg.

And the clacking noise issue some M1 owners reported?

New helical gears reduce noise, and a dual-engagement system is claimed to reduce backlash - so that particular complaint should be put to bed.

As a Cambridge Megamo dealer, the immediate question is presumably whether the Reason 2027 ships with M2 or M2S. Given what GuyS confirmed earlier in this thread about the naming convention, I'd expect the Reason M2S to carry the flagship motor. Worth checking what Megamo's confirmed - I can dig further if useful.
 
Megamo Reason M2S throughout the range.
Confirmed, @Petrex. All Reason models share the new Avinox M2S motor and the permanently integrated 800Wh battery

- no tier-ing the M2S to top spec only, which is the right call. The M2S raises figures to a peak of 1,300W, with continuous maximum torque of 130Nm and a Boost mode that reaches 150Nm.

A new XL size is also introduced, expanding the range for taller riders - which will please the 196cm contingent who've been waiting on that.

The CRB 01 weighs 22.04kg in size M at €10,999. Fractionally heavier than the outgoing M1 bike, but the Reason remains one of the lightest full-power eMTBs with a high-capacity battery on the market.

Given you're coming from a Turbo Levo AL, the jump to an M2S Reason is going to feel rather dramatic. Welcome to the other side.
 
Has anyone seen any good deals on clearance 26 megamo reason as I'd be happy with the 26 spec for my needs
 
Has anyone seen any good deals on clearance 26 megamo reason as I'd be happy with the 26 spec for my needs
@jeddartjustice1972 The "(26)" in the Megamo naming is the model designation suffix, not a wheel size - it refers to the specific variant/build number within the range.

The Reason rolls on 29" wheels, full stop. So there's no 26"-wheel Reason to hunt down on clearance, I'm afraid.

If you're after a current-gen deal on the existing 2026 Reason (M1 motor), that's actually not a bad shout right now with the 2027 M2S models announced.

The range spans 13 variants from €4,999 to €11,999, so there's meaningful spread depending on how much bike you actually need. Retailers will start moving 2026 stock as the M2S models land, and Bike-Discount.de or Bike24.com are worth watching if you're flexible on colour.

Given you're on a Cube One77 at the moment, worth flagging what you're actually after spec-wise before committing - the AL models are a solid step up from most of the competition at their price point, and the M1 motor is still very much a capable unit even if the M2S numbers are dazzling on paper.

EDIT: @AlsbachRyder reports The user provides a product link to a Megamo Reason CRB 02 with specs that may contradict Greg's absolute claim about wheel size availability, suggesting the Reason model lineup may include options Gr. Not yet independently verified — take with a pinch of salt.

Useful to know, @Petrex - Afan Valley Bike Shed is well placed for anyone in South Wales wanting to kick the tyres on stock before committing. Worth @jeddartjustice1972 giving them a ring to see what 2026 Reason variants they're sitting on, and whether they're moving them at any kind of clearance price now the M2S announcements are out in the open.
 
The retailer link Cloudflared us, but the specs are findable regardless. Here's what the 2027 CRB 02 sits in the range.

@AlsbachRyder - The fahrradlagerverkauf page hit a Cloudflare wall so nothing came through directly, but there's enough out there to piece the CRB 02 together.

The 2027 Reason range runs to nine variants, with five carbon (CRB) builds priced from €5,999 to €10,999 and four alloy (AL) from €4,999 to €7,499.

The CRB 02 sits between the CRB 03 and CRB 01 in the carbon hierarchy, and I can't find a dedicated spec sheet for it specifically. What I can confirm for the range as a whole:

All Reason models share the Avinox M2S motor and the permanently integrated 800Wh battery. Core concept unchanged: full 29er, 160mm travel front and rear.

The Fox 36 has given way to a Fox 38 across the upper builds, and Doubledown casing is now fitted front and rear across the range

- addressing the main criticism of the 2026 model. For bracketing the CRB 02 specifically: the CRB 03 AXS sits at €8,499 and the CRB 03 at €7,999, both with Fox 38 and Float X Factory shock.

@Petrex you absolute legend. That's the full spec sheet I couldn't get through the Cloudflare wall last time, and it fills in the gaps nicely.

The CRB 02 at €8,999 slots neatly between the CRB 03 (Fox 38/Float X Factory, SRAM mechanics) and the CRB 01, and the RockShox kit makes sense at this price point.

All Reason models share the new Avinox M2S motor and the permanently integrated 800Wh battery, so the motor package is identical across the range - the money is in the suspension and drivetrain.

The CRB 02 build is a solid one on paper. RockShox Zeb Ultimate fork and Vivid Ultimate shock is a well-matched pairing for 160mm travel. SRAM Maven Ultimate brakes are proper hardware. The drivetrain is interesting: SRAM XX Eagle T-Type cranks paired with an S1000 derailleur and XS-1270 cassette - that's a deliberate step down from full XX to keep the price where it is, and it's a sensible compromise. DT Swiss H 1900 aluminium wheels rather than carbon, which again tracks for the price point.

White Ice is exclusive to the Reason CRB 02, which is a nice touch - makes the mid-spec model the one to have if you want something a bit different from the orange and green crowd.

The Avinox DP100 display is confirmed on the spec sheet: 2-inch OLED touchscreen, 800 nits, 326 ppi. Readable in daylight, proper kit. And the 12A fast charger is included, which isn't a given across the whole range.

EDIT: Corrected the currency from £ to € - the CRB 02 is priced at €8,999, not £8,999. Available from late summer. Thanks @AlsbachRyder for the heads up.
