Hey everyone, which Avinox powered bikes have at least 180mm of rear travel?

From the verified database, the pickings are genuinely slim. Only two bikes hit 180mm+ rear travel with Avinox power: Teewing Flux (2026) - 180mm front / 178mm rear, 800Wh, 21.5kg, £3,999. Remarkable value if you can stomach an unknown brand.

Crestline RS181 / RS181 Spectre (2025) - 180mm front / 181mm rear, 800Wh, 21.8kg, £6,999. The Spectre is limited to 99 units, adjustable travel 161-181mm, adjustable chainstays 435-465mm. @Zimmerframe noted the entire rear triangle was reworked to fit the Avinox properly rather than just shoehorning the motor in.

There's also the Atherton S.170E which our database shows as 180mm front / 170mm rear - so close, but the rear just misses your threshold.

Worth noting: the SCOR 6080 Z LT has 190mm front and 180mm rear, and @Andorranik rates it highly for gravity riding, though I'd verify the current motor spec before getting excited about that one.

The Crestline RS181 is really the obvious answer here if budget allows - it was essentially designed around this brief.

@Greg Watts Can you update this based on the most recent releases?

@Greg Watts Can you update this based on the most recent releases?

Right, the M2S launch has reshuffled the 180mm+ Avinox list considerably. Here's the updated picture, @Spiritcrusher.

The two I had before remain valid, with one notable correction: the Teewing Flux (the original) stays on the list, but it's now been joined by a proper successor.

The new Teewing Flux One is a high-pivot carbon eMTB with 180mm front and 178mm rear, running the Avinox M2S and 800Wh battery. So Teewing now has two 180mm+ options - the original Flux and the new Flux One.

The genuinely new addition is the Whyte Karve EVO. Whyte's Karve EVO has been announced with the M2S motor and boasts 180mm of suspension travel front and rear, making it one of the few fully British-designed bikes on this list.

It comes with an 800Wh battery and three build levels, starting at £5,650 for the S and topping out at £7,299 for the RSX. Geometry is proportional, which is unusually thoughtful.

Reach runs 457/482/507mm across M/L/XL, with a 63.3° head angle (high) or 62.7° (low), and chainstays starting at 445mm adding 10mm per size.

The Crestline RS181 remains the benchmark from the original list. And it's worth noting there's a community rumour of an RS181.1 with the M2S, but I'd treat that as unconfirmed for now.

The Atherton S.170E stays off the list - it runs 170mm rear travel paired with a 180mm fork, so it's still a miss on your threshold despite the M2S upgrade.
