the short answer

There's no single best one, and we haven't tested them, so this is a list, not a ranking. With the M2S motor: Amflow PR and PX, Raymon Tarok Ultra and Pivot Shuttle AMPD (trail); Megamo Reason, Mondraker Zendit RR S and Thömus Oberrider (enduro); Atherton S.170E (big travel). Press list prices run from €5,899 to €11,999, plus CHF 5,490.

There's no single best DJI Avinox e-bike, and we haven't tested these bikes, so I'm not going to pretend to rank them. What I can do is put every Avinox bike we could verify in one place, with the motor, battery, travel, weight and published price, and group them by the riding they're built for.

One thing to know before you read the prices: they're European list prices published by the bike press, in euros or Swiss francs. We couldn't verify UK prices, so check with a UK dealer before you get attached to a number.

DJI Avinox e-bikes at a glance

These are the bikes listed with Avinox's current M2S motor, plus the Amflow PL Carbon. Travel is front/rear. Weights are as published, for the size shown, so they're not a like-for-like comparison.

Prices checked September 2026. Singletrack's 2025 round-up of brands using Avinox adds a few more names, which I've put in the groups below. It dates from June 2025 and doesn't give prices, so check the current spec with the brand. It also names Forbidden's Druid Core and the more trail-focused Druid Lite, but without travel figures, so I haven't put them in a group.

Trail bikes: 150 mm at the back

This is the biggest group: 160 mm forks, 150 mm of rear travel, and a wide spread of price and weight.

The two carbon Amflows show the trade-offs well. The PR Carbon Pro has the bigger 800 Wh battery and lists at €5,899, but it weighs 24.2 kg in a large. The PX Carbon Pro has a 700 Wh battery and weighs 21.4 kg in the same size, and it lists at €9,999. The PL Carbon, which BIKE lists with a 600 or 800 Wh battery, sits between them on price at €6,499 to €9,999.

The Raymon Tarok Ultra has a 700 Wh battery, a claimed 22 kg in a large and a €7,499 list price. The Pivot Shuttle AMPD pairs an 800 Wh battery with 21.5 kg in a large, and it's the most expensive bike here at €11,999.

Singletrack also lists the Teewing Turbo Force, a 150 mm trail bike.

Enduro bikes: 160 to 170 mm

More travel at both ends, for rougher trails and faster descents.

The Megamo Reason runs 160 mm front and rear, weighs 22.04 kg in a medium and lists at €10,999. One thing to check: ebike-mtb.com's buyer's guide lists it with a 700 Wh battery, but its M2 test page lists 800 Wh, so ask the dealer which you're getting. The Mondraker Zendit RR S has 170/165 mm, an 800 Wh battery and 23.24 kg in a medium/large, at €10,499. The Thömus Oberrider has 170/160 mm and an 800 Wh battery, at CHF 5,490 (a Swiss price).

Singletrack adds Steppenwolf's 170 mm carbon enduro bike to this group.

Big-travel bikes: 180 mm forks

The Atherton S.170E is the long-travel end of the list: 180 mm up front, 170 mm at the back, a 700 Wh battery and 24 kg in its size 8, at €8,549.05. Singletrack also lists the Crestline RS 181, which comes with 161 mm or 181 mm of travel, so it spans this group and the one above.

M1, M2 or M2S: how the motors differ

If you're looking at used bikes as well as new ones, you'll see all three drive units.

Motor Normal modes Boost Peak power
M1 105 Nm 120 Nm 1,000 W (750 W before software update v1.2)
M2 110 Nm 125 Nm 1,100 W
M2S 130 Nm 150 Nm 1,500 W with the FP700 or RS800 battery; 1,300 W with the FS600 or FS800

The torque and peak power figures are DJI's own, from its FAQ. Rated power is 250 W on every unit.

A few more differences:

  • Efficiency. DJI claims about 84.5% for the M2S, up from around 82% for the M1 (ebike-mtb.com).
  • Battery. The first bikes came with an 800 Wh or a smaller 600 Wh battery. The M2S generation added a 700 Wh battery with 4680 cells.
  • Weight. DJI puts its drive units at about 2.52, 2.59 or 2.65 kg, depending on the model.
  • Boost. On the M2S it's up to 60 seconds of 150 Nm.

My Avinox settings and tips guide covers the modes, Boost and charging in more detail.

How to choose an Avinox bike

Without a test to lean on, these are the questions I'd ask:

  • How much travel do you actually need? Be honest about where you ride most weeks, not the one trip a year to a bike park.
  • Which battery? On the M2S, the battery changes peak power as well as range (see the motor table above). Ask which one the bike has.
  • Weight, like for like. The published weights here are for different sizes, and one is a maker's claim. Compare the same size where you can.
  • The UK price. Everything in the table is a European list price from the press.
  • If it's used: check the firmware has been updated (the M1's v1.2 update raised peak power from 750 to 1,000 W), and ask whether the drive system has been modified or run with a third-party range extender. DJI says either voids the warranty.

And ride it before you buy it, on the kind of climb you ride at home.

The one I ride: the Mondraker Zendit

I ride a Mondraker Zendit with DJI Avinox and a FOX Podium fork, and I've done nearly 1,000 miles on it in the Forest of Dean and at BikePark Wales. I've written up the FOX Podium after nearly 1,000 miles, why I swapped five years on a Kenevo SL for 150 Nm, and how far a charge gets me. That's one rider on one bike, not a test of the others in this list.

Avinox bikes in the Plus1 Garage

Four Avinox bikes are already in the list you pick from when you add a bike: the Amflow PL Carbon, the Amflow PX, the Megamo Fusion Enduro Team Avinox and the Mondraker Zendit. Pick one and the motor, fork, shock, groupset and brakes are filled in for you. The list has 905 bikes, 224 of them e-bikes, and if yours isn't there you can add it yourself.

Whatever you buy, it'll eat parts faster than your last bike

Up to 150 Nm through the drivetrain, on bikes published at 21.4 to 24.2 kg, wears out chains, pads and tyres quicker than a bike without a motor. Our starting estimate for an e-bike chain is 540 miles, against 900 for a normal bike, and about 300 if you ride mostly in the wet on drip lube. A rear tyre starts at 310 miles and rear pads at 350.

None of that is a reason not to buy one. It's a reason to keep track. The Garage does that for free: type in the miles off the display now and then and it reminds you when something's due. Every number is a best guess you can correct. My chain wear guide shows how to check the one part that costs you most when it's ignored, and the Avinox maintenance guide covers the rest.

Questions riders ask

Which e-bikes have the DJI Avinox motor?

Bikes listed with the M2S include the Amflow PR Carbon Pro and PX Carbon Pro, Atherton S.170E, Megamo Reason, Mondraker Zendit RR S, Pivot Shuttle AMPD, Raymon Tarok Ultra and Thömus Oberrider. Amflow, Crestline, Forbidden, Megamo, Steppenwolf and Teewing have also used Avinox.

What is the best DJI Avinox e-bike?

It depends on how much travel you want, the battery size and your budget. We haven't tested these bikes, so we group them by use rather than rank them. Ride the ones that fit before you buy.

What's the difference between Avinox M1, M2 and M2S?

Mainly torque and power. DJI gives the M1 up to 105 Nm (120 in Boost) and 1,000 W peak, the M2 110 Nm (125 in Boost) and 1,100 W, and the M2S up to 130 Nm (150 in Boost) and up to 1,500 W peak.

How much does a DJI Avinox e-bike cost?

The European list prices published by the press run from €5,899 (Amflow PR Carbon Pro) to €11,999 (Pivot Shuttle AMPD), and the Thömus Oberrider is CHF 5,490 (checked September 2026). We don't have verified UK prices, so check with a UK dealer.

Which Avinox battery should I choose?

Avinox bikes come with 600, 700 or 800 Wh batteries. On the M2S, DJI rates peak power at 1,500 W with the FP700 or RS800 battery and 1,300 W with the FS600 or FS800, so ask which one the bike has.

Should I buy a used Avinox e-bike?

If you do, check the firmware is up to date and ask whether the drive system has been modified or run with a third-party range extender. DJI says either voids the warranty.
