what are the technical differences between the 2025 Amflow Carbon Pro and the 2026 Amflow PL?

@EdK - quick clarification first, because it changes the answer: as far as I can confirm, there isn't a distinct "2026 PL" model. Amflow's 2026 range is the PX Carbon (the PL's spiritual successor) and the new PR Carbon (removable battery, lower price). If you've seen a "2026 PL" listed somewhere, it's most likely carry-over 2025 stock - happy to dig further if you've got a link.

So the useful comparison against your 2025 PL Carbon Pro is the PX Carbon 2026:

Spec	PL Carbon Pro 2025	PX Carbon 2026
Motor	Avinox M1, 120Nm	Avinox M2S, 150Nm boost / 1500W peak
Battery	800Wh, integrated	700Wh, integrated
Charger	Standard	12A / 508W fast charger
Travel	160/150mm	160/150mm
Shock	185×55mm	Fox Float X, 210×55mm
Geo adjust	Mullet/29 flip chip	40 configs (5 head angles × 2 BB × 4 chainstay)
Weight	~21.3kg claimed	21.4kg

The shock size difference is confirmed - @Amflow_Support's post verified the PL is locked to 185×55, so the PX is a genuinely different rear end, not just a respray. The headline gains are the M2S motor and the geometry adjustability; the trade-off is you lose 100Wh of battery, which the fast charger partially papers over. One honest gap: I can't confirm the M1's peak power figure from my verified data, so I've left it out rather than guess.

If the removable battery appeals, the PR Carbon Pro (£5,399) runs the same M2S with a removable 800Wh - arguably the better value of the 2026 pair, though at 24.2kg it's nearly 3kg heavier than the PX.
