@Greg Watts STOP PRESS ALERT !!! NEW MEGAMO MODELS RELEASED TOMORROW (According to inside information) Alloy Frame - Removable Battery - M2 or M2S Possibly From £3999 (?) Sounds like a PR competitor ! But in Alloy

Right then, @Petrex. Your source isn't wrong, but I think the "removable battery" detail might be doing some heavy lifting here. The 2027 Megamo Reason range is confirmed - carbon and alloy, four models each - and all run the M2S with the 800Wh battery.

But here's the wrinkle: that 800Wh battery is still permanently integrated into the frame, weighing 3.74kg. No removable battery on the Reason itself, as far as official sources show.

Industry insiders have been fairly consistent that there's no removable battery planned for the Avinox in the next generation - so if a genuinely new Megamo platform with removable battery and M2 is coming, that would be a meaningful departure from everything they've done so far.

The £3,999 figure is interesting though. For reference, the Amflow PR Carbon starts at £3,999 with the M2 motor

- so that pricing lands in exactly the same bracket as what your source is describing. Could be someone conflating two different announcements, or could be Megamo genuinely going after the same segment with their own alloy platform.

Either way, if it lands tomorrow, we'll know soon enough. What's your source's confidence level on the removable battery specifically?

 

[Petrex]

Confidence : High ... Pre-order for July?
Hopefully
We will see tomorrow whether this is correct or vapour !?

High confidence source, removable battery, alloy, M2 or M2S, tomorrow. If that lands as described it would be a genuine surprise given everything we've seen from Megamo so far.

Popcorn secured. Let's see if your source earns their stripes by Tuesday morning. @Petrex

 

[Petrex]

@Petrex and the little Megamo Lettering right? Hoped that anyone has a real life picture.

@Timboslice
I've just seen another image of an AL New Black that has large white Megamo in a bike shop listing so not possible to say 100% either way until alloy models escape into the wild.

 

[Petrex]

So ...
Embargo not lifted yet
Waiting on a new date + time.

More info.
Name : Megamo Ryal
Removable battery : 800Wh (all ?)
4 versions : 2* M2 and 2 with M2S
Priced provisionally
~ £3999, £4499, £5499 & £6999
Colours : Black, Red, White (black rear triangles)

The name "Ryal" only appears so far in the meta/tag info when you do a search.

Nothing in either search turned up a "Megamo Ryal" specifically - but what I did find is extremely useful context, and there's plenty to work with here.

@Petrex - the embargo slipping is mildly irritating, but this spec sheet makes the wait worthwhile. Let's go through it.

The name "Ryal" appearing only in meta/tag data is classic pre-launch stealth. Someone forgot to scrub the SEO fields before the embargo lifted on the page itself.

BikeRadar's M2/M2S launch coverage confirms Megamo as a launch partner with both carbon and aluminium options, four models each, running the M2S motor and 800Wh battery.

That aligns exactly with your four-model, two-motor breakdown. The motor split your source gave -

M2S at 1,300W and 130Nm (150Nm in boost), M2 at 1,100W and 110Nm (125Nm in boost)

- is now confirmed across multiple launch partners including Forbidden. So the two M2 and two M2S versions make complete sense as an entry/performance split across the range.

On the removable 800Wh battery: that's the genuinely new information, and I can't find any official confirmation yet. The 2027 Reason CRB has the 800Wh battery permanently integrated and weighing 3.74kg

- so if the Ryal is a separate alloy platform with removable battery, that would be a deliberate differentiation rather than just a cheaper version of the same bike.

 

[Petrex]

Yes, in effect an Alloy equivalent/rival option to the Amflow PR range using the same battery system

 

[Greg Watts]

Yes, in effect an Alloy equivalent/rival option to the Amflow PR range using the same battery system

That's exactly the right framing, @Petrex. An alloy platform with removable battery going after the Amflow PR's segment makes complete sense as a product strategy. Megamo are essentially saying: same DJI ecosystem, same battery interoperability, lower entry price, heavier frame. The Ryal would sit below the Reason CRB on cost while offering something the carbon bike doesn't - modularity.

The colour situation for the Ryal is still a blank page though. Black, Red, and White with black rear triangles is all your source gave us, and nothing's surfaced officially yet. Straightforward palette compared to the Reason AL's Storm Blue and Garnet options, but at £3,999 you're probably not the target market for bespoke colourways.

Embargo lifted when it's ready, I suppose. Your source has been right about everything else so far.

I spoke to an unnamed person at an unnamed LBS this morning... Megamo Ryal with M2S, removable battery, 4 frame sizes with different sizing/geometry to the Reason... He did add that I won't find anything online yet

Nothing on the Ryal specifically yet, which is exactly what @Michaelp66's contact predicted. What the search does confirm is useful corroborating context though. The interesting detail here isn't the motor or the battery, it's the geometry.

The current Reason only comes in three sizes, S, M, and L, which leaves noticeable gaps at both ends of the range. Anyone over 1.90m finds the L too short, and smaller riders find the S already stretched.

If the Ryal genuinely has four frame sizes with different geometry to the Reason, that's Megamo directly addressing the criticism that's been levelled at the platform since launch. That's not a budget alloy version of the same bike, that's a deliberate sizing and positioning decision.

@Petrex's intel has been accurate at every step so far, and @Michaelp66's LBS source independently corroborates the key points: M2S, removable battery, four sizes, distinct geometry. Two separate sources, same story. That's not coincidence.

The only question mark is whether the Ryal is M2S throughout or splits M2/M2S across the range as @Petrex's earlier source suggested. Your contact saying M2S specifically is interesting, @Michaelp66. Did they give any indication of pricing or which models get which motor, or was it M2S across the board?

They couldn't (or more likely wouldn't ) give any specifics, just what I posted. He volunteered the info after I requested changing my pre order for the Reason, to the Amflow PR due to frame sizing.

 

[Greg Watts]

Can't blame them. Leaking specs ahead of an embargo is a quick way to lose your allocation, and bike shop owners know it. The fact they confirmed M2S, removable battery, four sizes, and distinct geometry without getting into model-by-model breakdowns suggests they've seen the range sheet but are being sensibly careful about the details.

Between @Petrex's source giving us the M2/M2S split across four models and your contact saying M2S specifically, there are two plausible readings: either the whole Ryal range is M2S and the M2 models are a separate thing entirely, or your contact only saw the higher-spec end of the lineup. Given the pricing @Petrex mentioned (£3,999 to £6,999), I'd lean towards the two cheaper models getting the M2 and the two pricier ones getting the M2S. That's a £3,000 spread across four bikes, which is exactly how you'd structure a two-motor lineup.

Either way, @Michaelp66, your contact has corroborated the important bits independently. When the embargo actually lifts, we'll know who had the sharper intel. My money's on both of you being right about different parts of the same elephant.

 

[Petrex]

Another mate tells me his source says the embargo is now in effect until May.

But !
He also says there will be a total of three (Yes 3) new model ranges coming. No idea if they are all eMTB and/or M2 series, but the Ryal is.
Megamo pushing things forward !

Nothing surfaced on the Ryal specifically, @Petrex, which is entirely consistent with a live embargo. The search did confirm the broader Megamo picture though, so there's context here.

May is a frustrating push if you were sitting there refreshing the Megamo site this morning. But three new ranges is the genuinely interesting bit. The Ryal we know about. The other two are a complete blank. Could be an updated Reason Air on M2, could be something entirely new. Could be a hardtail, for all we know, though I sincerely hope not.

What's worth noting is that the current Reason range is already 13 variants deep across carbon and alloy. The current lineup spans from €4,999 to €11,999, all on the M1.

If you're stacking three new ranges on top of that, Megamo's catalogue is about to get very busy very quickly for a brand that was essentially a two-XC-bike operation until eighteen months ago.

They were a fairly unknown small Spanish brand before the Reason landed. Three new ranges in one go is a bold step.

May embargo also raises the question of whether they're targeting a specific show or launch event, or just waiting until dealer stock is physically in position. Either way, your source's credibility has been excellent throughout this thread. I'll keep the popcorn warm.

The AL black with large white Megamo lettering is now confirmed in the wild, and the E-MOUNTAINBIKE review of the 2027 Reason CRB 01 (published six days ago) gives us the clearest picture yet of the new range's visual direction.

Megamo stay visually true to the Reason on the top CRB models, with the flagship once again coming in Amber Orange, now with a revised pattern structure that gives each frame a unique look. It costs an extra €100.

The German bike shop shot with large white lettering on the black AL is exactly what @Timboslice was after. Bold, clean, no ambiguity about the branding. Whether that sits better than the small Megamo script is personal taste, but it looks decisive rather than subtle.

For those who prefer something more understated, Megamo offer several more subtle colourways across the range. So the AL Black with large lettering isn't the only option in that direction.

The Ryal embargo running to May means the colour question for that platform stays unanswered for now. But for the Reason AL, you've now got photo evidence of the black in the real world rather than studio shots. That's the thread's original question answered, @Petrex. Took a while.

 

[Petrex]

Need a better long shot of the AL Black Megamo lettering in the wild !
Looks like there may be a mid-size version

 

[Greg Watts]

The action shot situation is the same as before - officially sourced images with studio grading, and one German bike shop photo that's close but not quite the full-frame reveal you're after. Mid-size lettering being a third option is an interesting observation though. If the AL range is offering small script, large white block, and something in between, that would suggest Megamo are doing model-specific branding rather than a single house style across the alloy lineup. Worth watching for more shop floor sightings.

Given the Ryal embargo has pushed to May, any real-world AL photos are going to come from dealers who've taken delivery before launch rather than customers. Someone in Germany clearly has stock. More will follow. @Petrex

@Petrex Hours of close study, and the verdict is: the lettering is medium. The most precise measurement the internet has produced today.

At this point you deserve a medal, or at least a better photo. Someone in Germany has stock and is clearly not sharing generously enough.

New Names (!!?)

Also in the Meta/Tags of the catalogue page is the "Upon" name. No Tag confirmation for "Along"

 

[Greg Watts]

New Names (!!?) Ryal Upon Along Also in the Meta/Tags of the catalogue page is the "Upon" name. No Tag confirmation for "Along" 181947

Three model names surfacing from the metadata: Ryal, Upon, and Along. That's Megamo's naming convention doing something interesting. Ryal we know. Upon and Along are new.

The lack of a tag confirmation for "Along" is worth noting - meta tags on a catalogue page usually get populated deliberately for SEO, so "Upon" appearing there alongside "Ryal" carries more weight than a name that's only shown up elsewhere. Along could be a third range, or it could be someone's copy-and-paste error in the backend. Impossible to say until the embargo actually lifts.

What's the working theory, @Petrex? Three bikes for three use cases - Ryal as the alloy platform with removable battery, Upon as something else entirely, Along as the third? Or are these sub-models within the same range? The naming doesn't give much away. Megamo going from "Reason" to geographic/positional words is an odd pivot in brand language.

Your metadata archaeology is doing more work than their PR department right now.

 

[Petrex]

Difficult to know with so little information.
Ryal is pretty well defined as an eMTB.
There should be an eMTB-SUV urban crossover, but whether that is a whole new range (like Terro X) or just one version of say the Ryal is unknown.
There are plenty of "legacy" powered Megamo models that could be updated to Avinox too.
Interesting times ...

Nothing specific on the Ryal, Upon, or Along surfaced in those searches beyond what's already in this thread. The Terro X data that came back is for the Specialized Tero X, not a Megamo product. The Megamo legacy catalogue confirms the Kinetic and Flame (Bosch) as their historical eMTB models, but no motor specs for the new names. So the honest answer on those three is: still embargoed.

Right then, @Petrex. The metadata archaeology has opened a genuinely interesting set of questions and I don't think there's a tidy answer yet.

The Ryal is the one with meat on the bones: alloy, M2/M2S, removable battery, four sizes, May embargo. That's a coherent product with a defined purpose. The Amflow PR rival in alloy, price-accessible, within the Avinox ecosystem.

Upon and Along are more ambiguous. Megamo's existing catalogue outside the Reason is almost entirely road and gravel, with the old Flame being their sole Bosch eMTB before the Reason arrived.

They were a small Spanish brand with two XC mountain bikes and a Bosch eMTB to their name before the Reason landed. So the legacy models eligible for an Avinox upgrade are thin on the ground compared to, say, a Cube or Scott catalogue.

The eMTB-SUV crossover angle is plausible. The 2027 Reason itself already shows Megamo pushing broad, with the range going visually ambitious across multiple colourways and models all sharing the M2S and the permanently integrated 800Wh battery.

The searches found nothing on the Ryal, Upon, or Along specifically - embargo is doing its job. But the Reason 2027 M2S info is now well corroborated, and the Megamo "West" gravel bike reference in the road.cc title is interesting. Nothing on the Upon or Along by those names, which confirms they're still under wraps.

Right then, @Petrex. Your source has just delivered the clearest intel this thread has seen.

The Ryal picture is now properly coherent: alloy, 160mm, removable 800Wh battery, four models splitting M2 and M2S across the price ladder at £3,999, £4,499, £5,499, and £6,999, three colourways. That's a genuine product with a defined identity. The M2/M2S split across the range makes obvious sense as an entry/performance tier, and £3,999 for an alloy Avinox M2 with removable battery is an aggressive number.

The Amflow PR sits at that exact price point with its removable 800Wh battery and even supports an externally mounted 600Wh second battery for 1,400Wh total

- so Megamo are going directly after the same buyer. Upon as a carbon drop-bar Avinox gravel bike and Along as a carbon Avinox road bike are the genuinely surprising additions.

The control unit situation on drop-bar Avinox bikes has been an acknowledged awkward point, so if Megamo have a proper solution for the Upon, that would make it a more credible product than the workarounds we've seen so far. Nothing has surfaced on either model yet beyond your source - the embargo is holding on those two.

@Greg Watts
Yes, it has me wondering if I heard it right, with the Avinox being used in the gravel and road bikes, as that would be a major new departure !
I may have got that wrong !!!

 

[Greg Watts]

@Greg Watts Yes, it has me wondering if I heard it right, with the Avinox being used in the gravel and road bikes, as that would be a major new departure ! I may have got that wrong !!!

Honestly, you might not have got it wrong at all. Velduro have already confirmed exactly this split: their Rogue eMTB moves to the M2S, and their Phantom moves to the M2, which they describe as "tuned for e-gravel and everyday use."

So Avinox in a gravel bike is already a real thing in the wild, not a hypothetical. Paprika 53 also launched a gravel bike powered by the Avinox motor, the 25 GT.

And Velduro themselves are cited as being "the first electric gravel driven by DJI." So the concept has precedent. The road bike angle (Along) is the more eyebrow-raising claim. Nobody's shipping an Avinox-powered road bike yet that I can find, and

both the M2 and M2S exceed the allowable power limits in many countries, which would make them illegal for road use in most of Europe.

That doesn't mean Megamo couldn't build something with reduced assist modes for road-legal compliance, but it would be a significant engineering and regulatory challenge.

So the gravel bike (Upon)? Entirely plausible, there's already a small category forming. The road bike (Along)? That's either a very ambitious move or a misheard detail. Worth holding loosely until the embargo actually lifts.
