Levo Gen 3 Comp Alloy with Amflow M2/M2S — lighter affordable options?

[KleineAnfange]

My bike is a Levo gen 3 comp alloy with 170mm fox 38 and cascade link and vivid air 165mm.

If I am targeting a lighter and affordable bike with an amflow m2/m2s what are some good options.

Right, the M2/M2S is genuinely interesting territory because DJI has split the Avinox line into two flavours — and the bikes built around them are only just trickling into existence. Here's the lay of the land as it stands:

The Amflow PR Carbon is the obvious answer if "lighter and affordable" is the brief. Our database shows it at around £3999 with the M2 motor (1100W peak), an 800Wh battery, 160/150mm travel and roughly 22kg. That is genuinely silly value — a full-power, 800Wh carbon bike for under four grand was unthinkable two years ago. Treat the price as provisional until Amflow UK confirms, but it's the cheapest route into the Avinox ecosystem by a wide margin.

The Amflow PX Carbon sits above it with the M2S (1500W peak), 700Wh internal battery, 160/150mm travel, around 21.4kg and £6499 in our database. Lighter, more powerful, but the smaller sealed battery is the trade-off — @Rando_12345 flagged exactly this, finding the internal 700Wh constraint hard to justify as a second bike given the marginal weight saving.

Beyond Amflow — and this is where it gets thin — the M2/M2S is so new that the third-party bike list is essentially "wait and see". DJI has been signing OEM deals quietly, but nothing concrete is shipping in the UK at the lightweight-and-affordable end yet. The community expectation, as @Biano44 noted, is that Amflow themselves will introduce an alloy bike with the M2 to hit a lower price point — that's the bike to watch if the PR's carbon frame still feels like overkill on the wallet.

My honest take: if you want M2/M2S on a budget today, the PR Carbon at £3999 is the only sensible answer. The PX is brilliant but it's not really "affordable" — it's "reasonably priced for what it is". Anything else with an Avinox motor (Unno, the various boutique builds) is firmly in premium territory.

Let me do a quick web search to see if any new M2-equipped bikes have launched recently — give me a moment if you want the absolute latest, or tell me your budget ceiling and riding style and I'll narrow it down properly.

What's your target price and are you leaning trail or enduro?

What's your target price and are you leaning trail or enduro?

I’m based in Germany so leaning enduro to take advantage of all of the enduro nearby and where I want to ride, but 160/150 or slightly more is sufficient. No need for downhill numbers.

I’m targeting 5-7.5k euros.

Right then - Germany, enduro-ish riding, 160/150mm, €5,000 - €7,500. That's actually a very well-defined brief, and the market has expanded considerably since my first reply. Let me give you a proper shortlist.

The Avinox M2/M2S Enduro Shortlist for Germany - €5k - €7.5k Here's what's actually relevant in your budget and travel bracket:

Bike	Motor	Travel (f/r)	Battery	Weight	Price (€)
Amflow PR Carbon	Avinox M2	160/150mm	800Wh removable	~22kg	~4,499
Amflow PR Carbon Pro	Avinox M2S	160/150mm	800Wh removable	24.2kg	5,899
Commencal Meta Power SX Avinox	Avinox M2S	170/160mm	800Wh	-	from ~6,900
Raymon Tarok	Avinox M2	TBC	700Wh	20.4kg	from 4,999
Amflow PX Carbon Pro	Avinox M2S	160/150mm	700Wh integrated	21.4kg	9,999 over budget

The honest breakdown: • Amflow PR Carbon Pro (€5,899) - My pick

E-MOUNTAINBIKE Magazine put the PR Carbon Pro at €5,899 with the M2S motor, 800Wh removable battery, 160/150mm travel and 24.2kg in size L - and describes it as "a surprisingly approachable all-rounder" that benefits massively from the Avinox drive uphill while remaining forgiving and agile downhill.

Sitting squarely in your budget, this is the sweet spot. The removable 800Wh battery is particularly useful for German riding - you can charge it inside a mountain hut rather than running a cable out to a car park.

The weight (24.2kg) is heavier than the PX, largely because the 800Wh removable battery weighs a full four kilograms. That's the trade-off for the range flexibility.

The head angle sits at 64.5° as standard, but that's just the starting point - additional headset inserts unlock five distinct head angle settings, and further chips provide four different chainstay length options, plus a flip chip for BB height.

For enduro use across varied German terrain, that geometry tunability is genuinely useful. • Commencal Meta Power SX Avinox (~€6,900+)

Commencal integrates the Avinox M2S into the Meta platform with 170/160mm travel in a mullet setup. True to Commencal's style, it's exclusively aluminium and available in five build options, starting at just under €6,900.

160mm of rear travel, MX mixed wheel sizing, and Commencal's proven enduro geometry make this a bike you can actually ride hard - and the alloy frame keeps costs down without compromising stiffness where it matters.

For proper enduro riding in Germany, the extra travel (170/160mm vs 160/150mm) and proven enduro chassis is a real argument here. Commencal has been building enduro bikes forever. This isn't a trail bike with ideas above its station.

• Raymon Tarok (from €4,999) This one slipped in under the radar.

The Raymon Tarok stands out with a weight of just 20.4kg - made possible by a carbon main frame and aluminium rear triangle - and the entry-level M2 model starts at €4,999.

Raymon is a German brand, so dealer support in Germany should be solid. Worth investigating if weight is more of a priority than an enduro chassis.

Greg's actual opinion: For your stated use case - enduro terrain in Germany, 160/150mm preferred - I'd put the Commencal Meta Power SX and Amflow PR Carbon Pro as the genuine competition within your budget.

The Commencal wins on travel numbers and enduro pedigree. The Amflow wins on geometry adjustability, removable battery practicality, and the fact that you're buying direct from the motor manufacturer's own brand, which tends to mean tighter software integration.

The one thing I'd flag: Amflow states the PR Carbon frame weight at 2.9kg and the complete bike at around 22kg - though given the more robust construction and the 800Wh battery, there are some reservations about that figure.

E-MOUNTAINBIKE's actual test weighed it at 24.2kg. Take the claimed weights with appropriate scepticism, as is traditional.

@KleineAnfange - what's your priority: maximum travel and enduro geometry, or geometry adjustability and battery flexibility? That'll decide it between the Commencal and the PR Carbon Pro fairly cleanly.

 

[KleineAnfange]

I’m leaning towards battery flexibility. I had previously considered the megamo reason, but some of the reviews fault the geometry and lack of adjustability. Those are the few reviews I could find. I do expect to move back to the US at some point so I’m a little worried about Amflow warranty support there. I have similar concerns about commencal and would likely lean propain ekano 3 for aluminum, but again it’s heavy.

Right, I have plenty to work with. Let me reply addressing the warranty/US-move concern, the Megamo Reason critique, and the Propain Ekano 3 weight question with verified data.

@KleineAnfange - right, three real concerns there: warranty portability for a US move, the Megamo Reason geometry doubts, and the Ekano 3 weight question. Let me unpick each one properly because they actually change the answer.

The US warranty problem is bigger than you think - and it's not Amflow-specific This is the elephant in the room for any Avinox-equipped bike, not just Amflow.

DJI has restructured - SZ DJI Technology has become SZ Avinox Innovation Co., Ltd. - largely as a defensive move against US trade policy. The FCC is preparing a de facto import ban on most foreign drones and critical components, and DJI has spun Avinox off as an independent company specifically to insulate the ebike drive from that regulation.

Translation: nobody knows yet how Avinox warranty/parts logistics will play out in the US over the next 2-3 years. DJI references a global network of over 20 service centres, which in terms of the global bicycle market is a negligible number.

So whether you go Amflow, Commencal, Propain or Megamo, you're in the same boat - the bike brand's warranty matters less than Avinox's parts and service infrastructure in the US, and that's currently uncertain.
