Exactly what I was thinking. What's stopping DJI from dropping "tunes" for any Avinox powered bike.

A technical bit about the RS Tune 750W peak and 130Nm, how does that work out. I think someone asked about this. There is a simple formula that we can use...
Power (W) = Torque (Nm) × RPM / 9,549
What is 9,549?
The number 9.549 is a mathematical constant (conversion factor) that connects rotational speed in minutes (RPM) with angular velocity in radians per second (rad/s). It is used so that torque and power can be calculated directly from revolutions per minute (RPM), which are the most practical in engineering.
If we take the peak power number 750W and peak 130Nm and throw that into the formula we get 55 RPM.
RPM = 750W x 9,549 / 130Nm = 55
That tells us that with the RS tune the motor is capable of delivering 130Nm already at 55 RPM.
The maximum current draw here is at cca 21 Amps.
But being capped at 750W peak that also means that increasing the RPM automatically reduces the torque.
Below is a chart what is to be expected at different RPM(cadence). Of course you don't always reach peak power, that happens momentarily, depends on the terrain and gear you are using at each moment. So during the ride the motor torque varies between the max 130Nm and cca 60Nm. The torque you get on the back wheel of course depends heavily on your gearing.
With the same formula we can calculate the difference between 750W peak or 1300W peak, it's pretty interesting.
So the RS Tune should in theory reduce battery consumption to a degree but it will probably also feel less powerful at higher cadences.
Hope this clears things a bit about the performance difference of peak power numbers, and why the Avinox feels so powerful on the trails.

So I was right about power dropping off?
Well yes it's physics and math, can't cheat your way out of that.
Now if they managed to create a motor feel with their tune that hides the drop-off to a degree for the rider, that I don't know. I guess the reviewers and happy new users can report.

What's funny is my last ebike had a Shimano Steps e7000. Which is not a popular older motor. Supposedly rated at 60Nm/500. Which it felt more powerful than that. I never had complaints about the power. The Tune on that motor was very upfront but clearly dropped off as you got going. Which I did not mind at all. I've been working on the M2S to have a somewhat similar feeling tune. Power up front but ease off...
I'm not buying what you're selling, but if it works for you, great.
What's weird to me is you agree a shorter wheelbase is preferable here, but then seem to imply the longer wheelbase is preferable. To be clear-I'm not saying the Wild's long wheelbase makes it unusable; I'm saying it's not-preferable in those tight situations; and makes riding them more difficult. Even your proposed approach of sliding around and nose picking turns is obviously more complex and demanding.

.Plan is to visit phoenix at some point this winter, lets go ride some kitty litter and you can laugh at me getting hung up on every corner.
A little off topic but-I wonder who else Avinox will allow to build custom tunes. Advantage Orbea right now!
It's not clear what models utilize the alloy frame. Orbea's site has incomplete info on the low-end trims.
The e-dread comes with a "custom" tune. It just tweaks to the baseline auto setting.

Is the new Wild’s “QuickStart” option in the power-limited RS mode really anything special? The standard Avinox M2S already offers six tuning options for all power assist levels (Eco, Trail, Turbo, Auto, Custom). The options include max torque, max power, max acceleration, motor overrun, Assisted Start, and continued assist. The screenshot below shows some settings I use in the Auto mode on my Pivot Amp’d. In the quickest of 5 Assisted Start settings it’s not at all “gradual”. Has Orbea somehow accessed something special that Avinox chose not to, or is “QuickStart” just the standard Assisted Start made available in the power-limited RS mode?
Edit: OK, here’s what Dario over on Pinkbike had to say:
“Those tuning parameters, for those curious: Pedal angle, 5x more sensitive. Pedal torque, 2x more sensitive. Pedal speed, 3x more sensitive. Assist start curve, 3.2x faster yield versus stock. All those increases might sound daunting, until you learn that the peak power has been reigned in to 750W at peak output.”
Interesting stuff, but I’m not sure what level of “stock” Assisted Start is being used as a point of reference.
Dario also quotes this from Orbea:
“Users will be able to customize assistance modes through the Avinox app without losing the performance benefits of the RS firmware and if they choose they could add a mode with full power.”
Only one full power mode? That’s disappointing.

I’m not reading that as having only one full power mode available. My understanding is any/all user-created modes can be full power.

Hi Rob, on a similar note, do you know if all 800wh Avinox bikes (with internal battery) are able to have a 600wh swapped in, or does it require a different set of fittings? I know the new removable 800/600wh batteries have been designed to fit in the same space, but the internal 600 is so much shorter that I've been having trouble imagining how it can be mounted to the same fittings as the internal 800, however I have seen reference to some of the original Amflow bikes being (theoretically) available with a 600wh fitted stock, so clearly there is some ability to swap, but wasn't sure if that was due to Amflow integrating a second fitting that is perhaps not used by other brands.
lol, tens of pages of whining about a limit, all for nothing
I believe you and everyone else owe a thank you to we “whiners.”
We now know Orbea was indeed intending to limit the Wild to 750W. The decision to abandon this plan was seemingly so recent YouTube reviews dropped today speaking to the original plan as reality.
Did the “whining” help avoid the suicidal plan to limit the Wild to 750W? You know it! I’m sure sales reps, and bike shop owners across the globe were “whining” to Orbea leadership about the negative impact of such a decision.
If today Orbea dropped a 750W Avinox M2S, there would’ve been massive flames being shot at Orbea. Instead of Orbea being seen as having the less-than M2S; now they look to many like they have the best M2S available.
Appears exactly the opposite of “for nothing.” You’re welcome.

Looks a great bike. But there are some deal breakers. Here are my Pro's and Con's.
Pros.
1) Integrated control System
2) Avinox System with 800Wh battery and 1300Watts peak.
3) Great looking profile. Just a great looking bike.
Cons
1) That integrated control system would be difficult for maintenance and fault finding.
2) Mulleting requires a change of linkage.
3) Chainstay not adjustable.
4) That RS system means you'll have to go to Orbea for motor upgrades.
5) Slow dropper.
This would be a great bike for someone who always goes to his LBS for work done on the bike. But for the tinkerer, I think there are better Avinox Enduros. Forbidden, Crestine, Mondraker and Teewing, just to name a few.
Regarding peak power. I think this is the death nail for Bosch and their 750 peak watts campaign. No body wants your limit. So either make a decent EMTB motor, or get out of the way.

As far as your cons go (comparing to the Teewing Flux that I was considering), the linkage change and non adjustable chainstays aren't great, but hardly deal breakers.
The Flux has a big chainstay change between 29er and MX. I prefer 29er and the chainstays are long enough for me on a large. While it's not ideal to have to buy a new linkage to change wheel sizes, at least it's an option unlike the Levo, Dreadnought, etc.
As for the RS, integration, and dropper I plan to get the M10 or M20 and skip it all. The biggest plus for me over the Flux is the ability to run a long dropper. I'm sick of being limited to a 185mm post on a large.
