    Avinox launch 1500w M2S motor and cheaper M2 motor

    Sigh...:sneaky: and herein lies the problem. One - The M2S does not have a throttle. Two - it's governed/restricted to ..... what is your location. Yes, you can VPN yourself to NZ or Hong Kong and increase the speed a bit. But you cannot unlock the full power and get it up to 60kph. Just not...

    Great feeback, thanks for the insight. Still patiently waiting for the Dreadie to land, apparantly it's a long, long way to ship dem bikes to the land downunder! I'm being told end July but probably August now. Of course will believe it when I see it. I was told that on the Druid Core I ordered...

    After all my sizing shenanigans (LBS adamant I'm a S4 at 6'1" and even double checked when they rang last week to notify me about possible landing dates here in Oz), I settled on a S3 based on everyone's feedback here. Watching this interesting video, they argue everyone is oversized. I did...

    Forbidden Druid - Avinox Powered

    Have a look at this video. An interesting take on sizing the modern bike. My LBS is adamant I'm a S4 (I was 6'2" but these days 6'1" and probably shrinking, so firmly between sizes), but most on this site pushed me to the S3. I've now got a Dread-e coming on a S3. And still the LBS ring to...

    Electric mini pumps, do you use them?

    I run the Trek Air Rush. Works well, is noisy but it's not like you use it all the time. Really handy, I just set the pressure I want and it fills. I'm a fan.

    Avinox launch 1500w M2S motor and cheaper M2 motor

    A link to Avinox's press release as a response to the "too much power" argument kicking around. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/avinox-releases-statement-regarding-emtb-power.html

    Paying on a bike you haven't recieved

    It all comes down to the relationship you have with the bike shop etc. I've laid down half the payment for a Forbidden Druid Core early last year (then got cancelled as I was away for an extended period overseas when it arrived in Jan this year) which I then rolled over onto the new Forbidden...

    I've got to say, the black/grey combo seems to look better in these photos than on their website. I wish they had just run all black, but at least it's not cream or brown 🤮 I'm already accumulating some deeper orange bling to (pedals, valve caps, grips etc) just to add contrast in anticipation...

    Avinox launch 1500w M2S motor and cheaper M2 motor

    Absolutely. The motor can most certainly allow an average fitness rider sustain a higher speed for longer, but... only to the speed the motor is governed to. Most fit road riders and gravel riders can hold and exceed those speeds on their analogue bikes. We don't hear people squealing they...

    Avinox launch 1500w M2S motor and cheaper M2 motor

    An interesting article around a poll Bike Radar did on the levels of power being touted by motor manufacturers today. What is interesting is how persistent the "too much power" notion or argument is in the general thinking and arguing for limits and less power. The major concept that seems...

    Is that an electronic dropper you got there?? Rockshox? What size did you manage to stuff in?

    Forbidden Druid - Avinox Powered

    When do you usually use auto vs economy when riding? Haven't got the Dreadie as yet but interested to see you use eco. From what I've been reading and hearing, most people just leave it in auto.
