Unno Mith with DJI Avinox motor: Full-power bike with 19.2 kilos?!
It has been one of the most discussed topics in the bike industry over the last few months: who will rely on the new DJI Avinox motor and when will the first e-mountainbikes with the Chinese motor come to the in-house Amflow project? Now it's out. The Spaniards from Unno present the new edition of their E-Enduro Mith - with the powerful DJI Avinox.

Extremely exclusive: The new Factory Feather Edition
Really easy is also the "normal" Mith (see below) already. With the Factory Feather Edition, however, Unno is taking the topic of lightweight construction to the extreme. The special edition should roll out of the shop from 19.2 kilograms. Unno still attaches great importance to trail-compatible equipment with a 36 mm fork, shock with reservoir and lightweight Tacky Chan tyres from Schwalbe, but uses the 600 mm battery to achieve the bike's dream weight. For comparison: According to our measurements, the DJI classic Amflow PL Carbon weighed 19.75 kilograms with a small battery.
Unno's in-house tuning project remains absolutely exclusive. Only ten bikes are to be built in total and delivered to selected dealers. There will be no official information on the Unno website. The price is expectedly high at 13,895 euros, but remains below the level of classic top models such as the new Levo S-Works. Of course, the equipment leaves nothing to be desired. In addition to the Fox Factory suspension, carbon wheels from Newmen, Srams XX Transmission and lightweight add-on parts from OneUp are used. The weight of 19.2 kilograms refers to the variants with S1 and S2 frames. With the largest size S3, the bike should weigh 19.48 kilograms.

Unno Mith: The first E-MTB from a mountain bike company with DJI Avinox
It was no surprise that Unno would play a pioneering role in E-MTBs with DJI. Unno himself had fuelled the rumour mill with an Instagram post before the launch of the Mith. It is also clear that a small brand like Unno can react much more quickly to current trends than a large industry player.
At the heart of the Unno Mith is the new DJI Avinox drive. According to Unno, this enables the most compact e-bike frame on the market. With a weight of less than 2.6 kg for the drive unit and 3.74 kg for the 800 Wh battery, the drive unit contributes significantly to the bike's low overall weight of 21.2 kg. That's right: Unno claims 21.2 kilos for the Mith. And that with a peak output of up to 1000 watts and up to 120 Nm of torque. And on top of that, with absolutely appropriate enduro equipment.

Frame, details & geometry
According to Unno, the special features of the new edition include a 60 mm longer seat tube insert compared to the familiar Mith with Bosch motor. This allows the use of longer dropper posts: 150 mm in size S1, 180 mm in S2 and 210 mm in S3. The shock is now easily accessible and the bike is also compatible with steel spring shocks.
Unno relies on external cable routing on the head tube for the Mith. This increases durability and simplifies maintenance. In addition, the cables are now fully routed to minimise riding noise. Larger bearings with four times the load capacity and additional seals should ensure longer durability.
For maximum ground clearance, 155 mm short cranks are used. An integrated chain guard with a rubber surface and special rubber protection pads on the chainstay are designed to further reduce riding noise. According to Unno, the frames are tested to twice the ISO standard, which is why they offer a lifetime guarantee.
Unno Mith: Price & features
The Unno Mith is available in two equipment variants: Pro and Race. If you are expecting a bargain, you are of course at the wrong address with the luxury brand Unno. The entry-level price is just under 10,000 euros.
Both models use the DJI Avinox drive with 800 Wh battery and a Fox 38 Factory fork with 170 mm travel. The Pro version relies on a Fox Float X2 Factory shock, while the Race model uses a Fox Float X Factory.
The wheels also differ: the Pro model rolls on carbon wheels from Newmen, the Race model on aluminium wheels from the same manufacturer. Both versions use Schwalbe Magic Mary tyres in 29 inch at the front and 27.5 inch at the rear.
Braking is provided by Formula Cura 4 brakes and 203/200 mm discs. Unno relies on wireless Sram AXS components with direct mount for the gears. The Pro model uses the X0 Eagle AXS T-Type groupset, the Race model the S1000 Eagle AXS T-Type.
