Power, Range, and Ride Feel: How Our eMTB Tiers Actually Differ

Power Is Not Just A Number

Power is not just “how much.” It is how it shows up, how long it stays there, and how it changes the way you ride. For our full power lineup, the Avinox drive system comes in two configurations across the tiers, plus two battery options. That means you can tune the feel of the bike before you even talk about tires, suspension, or setup.


Two Avinox Options Across The Tiers

Here is the baseline. T1 and T2 run Avinox M2S at 2.6 kg, delivering 130 Nm torque with 150 Nm Boost and 1300 W. T3 and T4 run Avinox M2 at 2.65 kg, delivering 110 Nm torque with 125 Nm Boost and 1100 W. Both are full power. The difference is not “enough vs not enough.” It is headroom.

Tier 1 – M2S

Tier 2 – M2S

M2S is for riders who want maximum punch on tap. Think steep pitches where you want instant surge, quick accelerations out of tight corners, and that extra ceiling when you are riding fast and pushing hard. It is the motor you pick when you like the bike to feel aggressive, responsive, and ready to sprint at any moment.

Tier 3 – M2

Tier 4 – M2

M2 is still a proper hitter. It brings huge torque, serious power, and a full power ride experience, with a slightly lower ceiling. For a lot of riders, it is the sweet spot because it still delivers the goods everywhere you actually ride, while leaving room in the build for other priorities like wheels, suspension spec, or overall budget.

600 Wh or 800 Wh: Pick Your Fuel

600 Wh is the “keep it sharp” option. Less battery mass in the downtube means the bike feels lighter in transitions and easier to move around underneath you. Quicker direction changes, easier manuals, more pop off lips, less effort to correct mid-line when the trail gets weird. If you want your eMTB to feel closer to a normal bike when you are descending, this is the call.

800 Wh is the “keep it planted” option. More mass in the downtube adds stability and keeps the bike tracking when speed climbs and impacts stack up. It carries momentum, holds a line with more authority, and rewards riders who like to push hard into rough terrain and let the chassis do the work. If your riding leans fast, steep, and hit-heavy, this is the setup that feels more locked in.


Best Combos For How You Ride

If you want a clean way to choose, start with feel. M2S plus 600 Wh is the punchiest setup with the lightest handling. Quick direction changes, maximum snap, and the least mass in the downtube when you are throwing the bike around on the way down. M2S plus 800 Wh keeps that same big headroom and hit, but adds more planted composure when the speed rises and impacts stack up.

On the other side, M2 plus 600 Wh is still properly full power, but with a sharper, more nimble chassis feel for riders who care about movement and play. M2 plus 800 Wh is the locked in option for riders who want the bike to track harder and carry momentum through rough ground. Pick the motor for the ceiling you want. Pick the battery for the handling you want.
