Raymon Durok with the Avinox M2S: DJI-level performance and a replaceable battery at a bargain price

With the Durok, German bicycle manufacturer Raymon is launching an e-mountain bike that offers a combination which is still rare at present: the powerful Avinox drive system with a removable battery – a rarity in the current generation of high-performance e-MTBs, which predominantly rely on permanently fitted batteries. The Durok utilises the new Avinox battery with a capacity of 800 watt-hours, who is also based at the new Amflow PR office. Bikes fitted with this battery are still few and far between.

Whilst the majority of new Avinox bikes feature integrated, non-removable batteries, Raymon has deliberately taken a different approach with the Durok. The 800 Wh battery can be removed from the aluminium frame in a matter of seconds and charged separately from the bike – a practical advantage for users who don’t have charging facilities at their parking spot. This design is also essential for carrying a spare battery to extend the range. Following the super-light Raymon Tarok with a carbon frame and a permanently fitted 700 battery (reviewed here), so the Schweinfurt-based company is adding yet another Avinox e-mountain bike to its range.

The aim here is clear. The Durok is intended to have a much broader appeal and be relevant to an even larger target audience. “With the DUROK, we wanted to make the impressive performance of the Avinox drive accessible to a much wider audience. That’s why we deliberately opted for a high-quality aluminium frame, a removable battery and a design that is built for durability and easy maintenance. The result is an e-mountain bike that performs impressively on the trail whilst remaining straightforward to use in everyday life,” says Felix Puello, Managing Director of RAYMON Bicycles
