DJI Avinox e-mountainbikes: E-bikes with DJI Avinox in the BIKE test

Incredibly powerful and even lighter and slimmer than the competition: the new DJI motor has shaken up the e-bike industry. The DJI Avinox M1 sets a new benchmark among powerful e-motors. Of course, this is particularly popular with e-mountainbikes. However, a good motor does not make a good e-mountainbike. At BIKE, we test the models extensively in the lab and in practice.
Amflow PL Carbon Pro
The Amflow PL Carbon Pro was the first bike with DJI Avinox ever. And it is still by far the lightest Avinox bike we have ever ridden. In addition to the weight-optimised chassis, the lightweight equipment also plays its part.
With a 600 battery, the Amflow remains under 20 kilos, and this fact alone makes the bike very special. The riding characteristics are rock-solid and absolutely balanced.
This e-bike is a great all-rounder and can easily cope with trails and difficult mountain tours. However, there are better e-mountainbikes for extreme use on trails and off-road.
The facts
- Motor: DJI Avinox M1, 120 Nm max. torque
- Battery: 600 / 800 Wh (permanently installed)
- Battery weight: 2887 / 3784 g (BIKE measurement)
- Frame material: Carbon
- Spring travel: 160/150 mm
- Wheel size: 29 inch (optional 27.5 inch rear)
- Frame sizes: M, L, XL, XXL
- Weight: 19.75 (600 Wh) / 20.63 (800 Wh) kg (test bike in size L, BIKE measurement)
- Max. system weight: 145 kg
- Guarantee: 5 years
- Price: 9799/9999 Euro
Strengths
- Lightweight, with a massive range
- balanced trail handling
- superior motor
- Quick charger
Weaknesses
- Permanently installed battery
- flat seat angle, compact geo
- Control on extreme uphills
- Rattling noises
- Scratch-sensitive
BIKE Conclusion
The Amflow PL Carbon aims to be a light bike and a powerhouse in one. And it manages the balancing act surprisingly well! It doesn't come close to the handling qualities of the best all-mountain bikes or the light-footedness of a light specialist. But the all-rounder does everything in between really well. The unprecedented ratio of weight to range is outstanding. The motor power combined with such a sensitive set-up is phenomenal, while the firm suspension and geometry are only average. Nevertheless: Next level! - Florentin Vesenbeckh, deputy editor-in-chief at BIKE
Rotwild R.EX 900 Pro
The R.EX DJI from Rotwild is currently the only Avinox bike that has its own battery. With 864 watt hours, it is not only larger than the classic DJI batteries, but can also be removed from the bike in seconds at the touch of a button. A blatantly unique selling point.
The elegant carbon bike is a classic all-mountain bike that scores highly on tours and trails. But beware: the high-end brand Rotwild only starts at 8990 euros. Our test bike is the mid-range model for 9990 euros.
Facts
- Motor: DJI Avinox M1, 120 Nm max. torque
- Battery: 864 Wh (removable)
- Frame material: Carbon
- Spring travel: 160/150 mm
- Wheel size: 29/27.5 inch (Mullet)
- Price: 9990 Euro
- Weight: 22.9 kg (test bike in size L, BIKE measurement)
- Frame sizes: M - XL
- Max. system weight: 130 kg
- Guarantee: 5 years
Strengths
- superior chassis
- Harmoniously selected equipment
- top range and exchangeable battery
Weaknesses
- long seat tube and low front
- High price
BIKE conclusion
The Rotwild R.EX Pro gets top marks for its plush suspension. However, the geometry with a low front end and long seat tube unnecessarily restricts trail fun for active riders. The bike shines on tour. The easily removable battery is a unique USP in the DJI cosmos. - Laurin Lehner, BIKE editor
Megamo Reason CRB 01
One of the great strengths of the DJI Avinox is also evident on the Megamo Reason: thanks to the slim down tube and discreetly integrated drive unit, the bike looks more like a light eMTB than an uncompromising powerhouse.
It is also lighter: Our test bike in size L weighs 21.4 kilograms - a very good value for an E-All-Mountain with a lot of suspension travel, 800 Wh battery and powerful motor.
However, Megamo has to consistently focus on lightweight construction: with high-end equipment, numerous carbon components and a (too) thin tyre carcass. The price for the top model is 11,499 euros.
The facts
- Motor: DJI Avinox M1
- Battery: 800 Wh, permanently installed
- Frame: Full carbon
- Spring travel: 160 / 160 mm
- Wheel size: 29 inch
- Weight: 21.4 kg (BIKE measured value in size L, without pedals)
- Max. system weight: 135 kg
- Guarantee: For life
Strengths
- Lightweight with plenty of power and range
- Balanced all-round character
- Quick charger
Weaknesses
- Permanently installed battery
- Engine rattles in the test bike
- weak tyres
- only three sizes available
BIKE Conclusion
Despite its extreme geometry and generous suspension travel, the Megamo Reason CRB is more of a powerful all-rounder than an extreme E-Enduro. On the other hand, the bike is versatile - and that's a good thing. The low weight and slim silhouette are harbingers of a new generation of e-MTBs - the DJI Avinox sends its regards. The enormous power of the motor lifts the bike effortlessly up even the steepest climbs. - Florentin Vesenbeckh, BIKE editor
Crussis e-Full 12.11 Pro
The Czech manufacturer Crussis has increasingly established itself in the Czech Republic in recent years, primarily thanks to its strong price-performance ratio. With an extensive range of Avinox bikes, Crussis is now also focussing on the German-speaking market.
Depending on the configuration, the down tube of the E-Full 12.11 Pro houses a 600 or 800 Wh battery. We tested the bike in the version with the large battery. The slim battery is firmly integrated into the frame.
This enables a particularly lightweight frame construction, but requires a parking space for the bike with a nearby power socket. Typical for Crussis: flawless high-end equipment at a fair price.
The facts
- Motor: DJI Avinox, 120 Nm max. torque
- Battery: 800 Wh (permanently installed)
- Frame material: Carbon
- Spring travel: 160/150 mm
- Wheel size: 29 inch
- Price: 8990 Euro
- Weight: 21.9 kg (test bike in size L, BIKE measurement)
- Frame sizes: S - XL
- Max. system weight: 120 kg
- Guarantee: 2 years
Strengths
- agile trail handling
- High-quality equipment
- DJI system with quick charger
Weaknesses
- Permanently installed battery
- Low weight approval and guarantee
BIKE conclusion
Our first test bike from Crussis is impressive. The lively all-rounder scores with good function, attractive weight and price and sets a special accent on downhill trail fun. Caution: The low system weight can be an exclusion criterion. - Adrian Kaether, Editor Test & Technology
