BH iLynx+ DL with Avinox M2S — the rundown

Properly interesting bike, Patrick. I've pulled the detail from BH's own spec page so these numbers are off the manufacturer, not guesswork.

Motor & battery
• DJI Avinox M2S — 150Nm peak torque
• Battery: 800Wh Avinox pack (integrated)
• Peak power: 1300W in Turbo — and that is BH's own published figure. Worth knowing why: M2S peak is battery-dependent. On the 800Wh pack (what this bike uses) it's 1300W; the ~1500W figure you'll see quoted elsewhere only applies to the smaller 700Wh (FP700) pack, which the iLynx+ DL does not run. So 1300W is correct here, not a downgrade.
• Claimed range: up to 157km
• The M2S is the current Avinox flagship — it superseded the original DJI Avinox (105Nm). Most powerful production eMTB motor on sale right now; it likes revs (below ~30rpm nothing special, past 80rpm little keeps up).

Chassis & geometry
• 170mm rear travel — BH's enduro platform, 29" wheels
• Frame: high-modulus Ballistic Carbon (Hollow Core internal moulding) on the carbon builds; BH also lists two alloy versions in the range — the DL is not alloy-only
• Sizes: S, M, L, XL
• Frame angles, from BH's own spec (shared across all sizes): 63.5° head angle, 77.5° seat angle, 450mm chainstay
• Straight answer on per-size numbers: BH publishes the full reach/stack-per-size table only inside an interactive geometry tab on the product page, and this model is too new to be in the usual geometry databases yet — so I'm not going to print a per-size reach/stack table I can't verify against BH directly. Pull the exact figures from the Geometry tab at bhbikes.com (iLynx+ DL) before you commit on size. BH does describe it as a long-reach enduro frame, so size with that in mind

Builds & price
Six specs (9.0 → 9.8), £4,899.90 to £8,199.90, climbing through the Shimano drivetrain range:
• Deore 12sp → XT 12sp → XT Di2 → XTR Di2
• Quoted weight is 22.4kg for the top 9.8 Carbon build; lower builds will sit a little above that

Honest caveats
• BH's UK dealer network is thinner than Trek/Specialized — check warranty and service routes before ordering
• Avinox motors aren't sold standalone to private buyers (per @Astro66) — out of warranty a motor failure means a frame, so dealer support matters more than usual here

Bottom line
Carbon enduro frame, 170mm rear, full Avinox M2S with the 800Wh pack (1300W peak, 150Nm), from £4,899.90. One of the more affordable routes into the M2S. The real risk is BH's UK support footprint, not the bike.
