Velduro Rogue
Velduro is a completely new brand entering the market - and exclusively with DJI-powered e-bikes. Velduro was founded by two New Zealanders and a Chinese man. With DJI power and the E-Enduro Rogue, they want to hit the ground running. The rear triangle with a high pivot point and chain deflection, which should offer between 165 and 172 millimetres of suspension travel depending on the setup, is striking. Velduro calls this a "mid-pivot design". The progression of the rear suspension as well as the wheel size at the rear (29 or 27.5 inches) can be adjusted using various flip chips. Another special feature: the Rogue is available as a frameset for customised builds.

Red Deer R.EX DJI
Rotwild is the first and so far only manufacturer to combine the DJI Avinox with a classic removable battery. The e-bike specialist uses a specially developed 864 watt-hour battery for this purpose. As is usual with Rotwild, this can be removed super-fast at the touch of a button. It weighs less than 3.6 kilos and is therefore lighter than the original 800 battery from DJI.

A mid-high pivot system is used at the rear, which is also found on the current models, as is the striking swing arm on the rear triangle.

Crussi's range in aluminium and carbon
With the DJI Avinox, the Czech brand Crussis is focusing on a comprehensive range that includes fullys and hardtails, including aluminium models. This makes them particularly attractive in terms of price: aluminium fullys start at 4490 euros, while hardtails should be available from 3590 euros. The bikes with a rigid rear are also ideal for trails, equipped with a telescopic seat post and 140 or 130 millimetres of suspension travel.

Forestal e-Siryon V2
Andorra meets China! A new player entered the DJI game at the end of 2025 in the form of the small luxury manufacturer Forestal. The project is still so new that there aren't even any real images of the new Siryon V2 E-Enduro yet. However, the bike is already available to pre-order from dealers. Delivery is scheduled for spring 2026.
The e-Siryon was developed in its original form as a light e-MTB, and the chassis and handling of the e-Enduro have already fully convinced us in the test. With the Avinox motor, a popular drive will provide the thrust in future. The 800 mm battery is firmly installed in the down tube of the carbon frame. The other facts: 170 mm suspension travel, 29er wheels, two models from around 7500 euros.
Megamo Reason and Reason Air
Attention: Now it's affordable! Anyone who has been waiting for an affordable e-MTB with DJI Avinox should take a closer look at the Megamo Reason. Thanks to the option of an aluminium frame, the entry-level price of € 4999 remains particularly fair. The more exclusive brands in the DJI bike range cannot match this. And even the lighter carbon models start at a relatively favourable 5999 euros.
Megamo is taking a two-pronged approach with its new DJI bike. The Reason is available in both a robust enduro version and a weight-optimised light version (Reason Air). The variants differ in terms of equipment, suspension travel and weight. At the heart of the system is a flip chip that allows the geometry of the frame to be adapted to different suspension travel and purposes. The battery is permanently installed in all bikes.

The proven VCS system ensures effective suspension behaviour. The Meta Power SX DJI offers 160 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and rear.

Carbon enduro from Olympia
The Italians from Olympia have so far often equipped e-MTBs with domestic motors from Oli or Polini. But now the renowned racing brand is following the trend from Asia. The design and rear suspension concept of the new DJI bike are very similar to the brand's well-known e-MTBs, but the carbon frame with the Avinox system is considerably slimmer.
The Italians are cautious when it comes to the details. The bike will be customisable both in terms of suspension travel (160 - 180 mm) and wheel setup (mullet or full 29-inch) and will be available in different versions. The 800 DJI battery is permanently integrated in the down tube.
