That M10 is a lot of money for entry level dt swiss, slow charger and mid shimano drivetrain :/

There are multiple avinox bikes on sale under 5k and plenty of well specced ones for 6-7k. Spending over 10k on a bike (electric or not) has always been a rippoff just to get the nicest parts that almost certainly don't add performance.

(Double posting from a Cube thread, as it is relevant to the power discussion here) Yesterday I participated in a very local XC race with an emtb category with my Cube one77. Before the race I noticed one Amflow PL pro (avinox M1) and a Mondraker Zendit (avinox M2s), so assumed I had no chance...

So yesterday I participated in a very local XC race with an emtb category with my Cube one77. Before the race I noticed one Amflow PL pro (avinox M1) and a Mondraker Zendit (avinox M2s), so assumed I had no chance. Surprisingly, at the end of the 16km course with only 400m of climbing: 1st...

My LBS has the blue 12k model and a black 10k model on display, wowzers that is a good looking frame especially looking at it at 90degrees. The downtube is wiiiiide though, so it looks a bit more ebikey from other angles.

My general rule of thumb is that if you follow a few threads on this forum, then you are more informed than most staff in your LBS.

I've gone from "SL bikes are stupid" to "why don't I own an SL bike?", and all it took was a >50% discount! Seriously, I see Mondrakers (sly, neat, dune), Trek Fuel exe's and Norco sights going for less than 4k, sometimes down into the sub 3k range. Even if it just gets used as a lunch ride...

Nothing to add, but agree with @Zimmerframe , you are paying for the looks and weight, which does make the higher price a bit harder to swallow. I think what I really would have wanted was a PX frame only or a "base PR" type spec on the PX for 5k (M2, rubbish suspension and brakes). I can't...

The local Orbea shop near me is a fairly big outdoor shop, they currently have a few Bosch wilds at -30% and Rises down 40%... So it's hard to think the Avinox wild will stay at MSRP, also feels a bit dumb putting down full price now when the bikes will probably be delivered after the summer...

Damn that is a good looking frame. Hate that the m20 is mixing a fox shock with a Zeb... Does anyone know if it's possible to get a small discount on new avinox powered bikes? Hard to tell what the market is like considering most shops are probably still overstocked with Bosch bikes.

Just to further smear my username: Virtually every rider would have a better experience from owning the 4.5k amflow and the new 4.5k YT, rather than one 9k Specialized or Santa Cruz.

The internal or the external ones? I'd be pretty tempted by an amflow PR if I knew I could upgrade the battery to 900wh, and I'd be pretty bummed if I spent thousands on the internal only system bikes and those couldn't be upgraded.

I think they just wanted to have the selling power of the 700 battery exclusive to their Amflow bike, and decided Atherton were prestigious enough and low volume enough to also get one to accommodate their unique design. Seems unlikely to me that bigger batteries will come out this year as they...

That's what we expected this generation of avinox bikes to hit, but they pretty much all got heavier, e.g. full carbon mondraker isn't getting below 23kg. Orbea could realistically get close based on their Bosch equivalents.

Commencals official weights are for a size S which has the 600wh battery, so they are definitely gaming the spec sheet. In the commencal thread people were getting ~25kg builds, so more or less the same weight for YT and commencal. And also for my 2022 giant reign which had almost a kilo more of...
