The new Avyon series complements Victoria's range of touring pedelecs for a wider range of applications. The pedelecs replace the E-Adventure series and extend its off-road capability. Their frame geometry is derived from hardtail E-MTBs, and the chunky 2.25-inch wide Maxxis tyres also make the bike suitable for field and forest trails. An off-road-compatible and adjustable air suspension fork with solid 34-millimetre stanchions and 100 millimetres of travel also ensures good traction on rough ground. While the predecessor model E-Adventure 11.9 still had a 625 Wh battery, the Avyon 5 has a 750 Wh energy source that delivers a substantial increase in range. The brakes and motor have been retained unchanged, while a mechanically shiftable Enviolo gear hub replaces the Nexus five-speed hub.

Wide range of applications
With a slightly more elongated riding position, Victoria's Avyon 5 has a slightly sportier design, even if the handlebars are higher than the saddle height for the right size. The wide handlebars with ergonomic grips that are easy on the wrists also make the bike suitable for longer tours. The small frame is noticeably stiff, the front end with adjustable stem and thru-axle is satisfactorily torsion-resistant. The high-torque Bosch Performance CX motor accelerates the pedelec dynamically, even if the wide and heavy tyres and the high wheel weight of a good 30 kilograms take away some of the liveliness. However, the Avyon's strengths lie less in its lively handling and more in its wide range of use. Both on asphalt and on loose surfaces, the Victoria Avyon 5 is easy to control and with its 27.5-inch wheels, it can be manoeuvred with agility and precision despite its wide tyres. Riding comfort is high and the 2.25-inch wide Maxxis Crossmark II, together with the finely responsive fork, smoothes out even the roughest of road bumps.
On tarmac, it develops a very audible rolling noise, but its grip on field and forest paths is excellent. The drivetrain with continuously variable Enviolo gear hub and Gates carbon belt is comfortable, low-maintenance and quiet. However, the hub also contributes to the Avyon's high weight. Its gear range of 380 per cent leaves little to be desired on pedelecs. It is very short on the Victoria: Even in the longest gear ratio, the Bosch Performance's cut-off limit is reached at a cadence of around 70 crank revolutions. Beyond 30 kilometres per hour, the legs whirl ...
Luggage transport, lighting and splash protection
Panniers weighing up to 25 kilos can be attached to the deep crossbars of the rear rack with a favourable centre of gravity - enough for longer tours. The Contec headlight guarantees good visibility even at night, and the rear light is elegantly integrated into the Curana mudguard. Cables and cables run invisibly through the frame, the battery cover is securely fastened, does not rattle and is easy to remove thanks to the easy-to-use fastener.
