Pre-order starts next month - Next Crestline Avinox frame set
- Thread starter BikingBad
- Start date
You can see all the specs here - Erstklassige Teile für jede Fahrt
From what I've seen looking at several sites and videos, the old 600 & 800 and the new 700 are considered "integrated" batteries, while the new 600 & 800 are removeable. Looks like the removeable versions can also double as range extenders, but carrying something that heavy as an extender seems like a terrible idea on a bike you're going to jump and shake around a bunch. Hopefully smaller variants are on the way.

Are we getting the M2 or the M2s with the plaid?

You guys are in for a treat. The Crestline with the M2s motor is so so so good. Especially with 700wh batteries, and swappable too if you want multi battery days.
M2S.

Curious to if you will release a video on the new Crestline? Now the embargo’s are off do you notice any differences in frame stiffness/handling from the 181.1?
Its hard to tell, because I am on a different size as well.
Out of any bike thats released right now, if I had to choose one, it'd definitely be the Crestline.
Will the 700wh fit in the frame ?
Yes. They full accommodate the 700wh

Interesting that you can only get the 1500W with the newest batteries. New cells must have higher peak current capability
The Avinox FP700 Battery or is there a standard Avinox 700Wh Battery?
So the cylindrical form factor 700wh battery fits within the chassis as well as the original 600wh and 800wh even though they are different form factors?Only 1 x 700wh battery, FP700
correct. Troydon made an extra screw hole for the 700wh battery.
It also sits lower down than the 800, and uses 2x screws underneath to secure it. Removing the battery is very quick and easy, and no screen removal needed (unlike the 800wh).
plus, 1500w!
Interesting, thanks for the info! Annoyingly the 700wh is £949, £250 more than the 800wh!

Interesting stuff. I know the 700Wh has the capability for 1500W, but for park laps I’m still really drawn to the lightest setup possible.
Would be awesome if they eventually offered an extender that could run the bike on its own without the main battery. Kinda like how Specialized does it on some of their bikes. That flexibility would be perfect for hot laps vs longer rides.
Either way, my stoke levels are absolutely maxed right now
Yeah same, I really don't need to go 1500w, 600w is loads cheaper and way enough for the bike parks and local off piste stuff!Interesting stuff. I know the 700Wh has the capability for 1500W, but for park laps I’m still really drawn to the lightest setup possible.

Seems like the removable 600wh and 800wh are new or are they the same as the OG Avinox batteries? Interested in finding out if the are new - are they compatible with first gen 181 spectre? Impossible to fine a 600wh battery after market. Bike is great - but would love to shed some weight.
So does the R181.2 use the newer removable 600 and 800 + the 700 cylindrical?
Or the older 600 and 800 + the 700 cylindrical?
Next day delivery from Amflow website in the UK. It seems the USA site doesn't sell accessories.

Agreed! Anyone know what our options are with the Crestline? I’ve got the forged frameset coming in June. I’d originally asked for the 800, but without any knowledge of what was coming down the pipe.This is getting more confusing rather than less
Sounds like Rob is saying the RS181.2 uses the OLD 600 and 800 and will be capped at 1300wh, but can also accommodate the NEW 700 cylindrical and unlocks 1500w peak. The NEW removable batteries are chunkier so they probably wouldn't fit even if you wanted it.
The first drop back in Jan only had the options of 600/800. Wish I could grab a new 700 instead of the 800, but glad the 600 isn't too expensive, so most certainly will pick one up for local rides.

I’m wondering if the Forge or Team versions will ship with the 700 battery.
Either way, having 3 options is pretty sweet.
Personally I still want the 800, but the 600 was the only available option when I ordered. If I get shipped the 700, it would be a nice surprise. Either way, at some point I’ll buy an additional battery for self shuttle park days. Might hold out till next year though for the additional battery and keep my fingers crossed for 1000+wh. lol.
