Amflow Goes Touring with the TL Carbon

Related:

Hot on the heels of Specialized turning their Levo 4 into an overlander of sorts, Amflow has done the same. Their new TL Carbon is powered by the Avinox M2 motor, which pumps out 125Nm of torque and 1100W of max power, paired with a removable 800Wh battery and a new, 480Wh secondary battery that should allow you to drag an insane amount of cargo up the hill to your house. Because this thing was ACTUALLY built to haul the mail, in the most literal sense of the term.

We're all more into the figurative hauling of mail here at Vital, and it goes without saying that this bike is not going to hit that particular sweet spot, but we still thought it's interesting to share for a couple of reasons:

  • It's made by Amflow and powered by the Avinox M2, arguably the most disruptive motor tech to hit the e-bike space in recent years.
  • This category of bike is seemingly attractive enough for brands like Amflow and the big S to sit up and take notice.

Here's the official press release if you want to learn more:

Amflow Launches the Amflow TL Carbon, an SUV E-bike Fully Loaded for All-terrain Riding Scenarios

Powered by Avinox with full suspension co-developed with FOX, Amflow’s new touring e-bike takes the brand beyond traditional eMTBs.

Default state

June 23, 2026, Shenzhen - Amflow, the innovation-driven bike brand that pursues the ultimate fusion of technology and mechanics, today announces its first all-terrain, touring e-bike - the Amflow TL Carbon, powered by Avinox. The company’s first venture outside the traditional eMTB category, the Amflow TL Carbon is an SUV e-bike fully equipped for all rides, from adventurous climbs to your daily commute.

Light and responsive with an ergonomic design

With a total bike weight as low as 22.6kg1, the Amflow TL is ideal for unlimited riding scenarios, including mountain trails, urban adventures and loaded touring. The agile, durable full-carbon frame weighs in at 2.9kg, keeping the bike agile and maintaining a frame design focused on utility and comfortable handling for riders of all sizes and strengths.

Catering to the mountain trails and city streets alike, the exclusive full suspension system co-developed with FOX absorbs bumps in the road, stabilizes cargo on loaded rides, and rolls over roots and rocks. With 120mm of front travel and 105mm of rear travel, the damping characteristics are matched to the bike’s geometry, weight distribution, and load to deliver support and feedback, so that the rider feels more confident and less fatigued.

“FOX is proud to support the launch of the new AMFLOW TL platform with our suspension technology,” said Adam Marriott, Senior Manager of Product Management at FOX. “The FOX AWL fork and FLOAT shock are optimized for the performance demands of the new Amflow TL platform, delivering a balanced combination of comfort, traction, and control. Designed to support the unique requirements of modern eSUV riding, the suspension package provides a capable and confidence-inspiring ride experience across a wide range of terrain.”

To further support rider comfort and flexibility, the bike geometry offers:

  • Adjustable head tube angle: the default 67° head tube angle can be slackened by 1 degree for descending confidence (with 29-inch wheels set-up)
  • Various bike setup configurations, including full 27.5 (standard), mullet, reverse mullet, and full 29er, with both the front and rear wheels can be switched from 27.5-inch to 29-inch to match different terrain needs
  • Low standover and seat-height, supporting easy mounting and dismounting
  • Approximately 100% anti-squat performance, effectively reducing pedaling energy loss and making the ride more stable

The Amflow TL comes standard with front and rear mudguards, a rear rack, water bottle cage, pedals, headlight and taillight, with support for an optional front rack. Riders can also remove the racks and mudguards to transform the Amflow TL into a more traditional off-road mountain bike, meeting all the standards expected of a mountain bike, including the CAT-III Certification.

Built to carry

The Amflow TL Carbon can carry up to 200kg total weight, including the bike, front and rear rack loads, and the rider. The front rack can bear up to 20kg, while the rear rack can handle up to 27kg, making the bike a workhorse across ride types. For long-distance touring, the bike’s modular mounting design and MIK HD-compatible rear rack allows riders to add panniers and a bike trailer.

New from Avinox: 1280Wh capacity, four-battery charging, and SmoothShift Electronic Shifting

Equipped with the Avinox M2 motor, the Amflow TL Carbon offers 125Nm of maximum torque and 1100W of peak power output, offering powerful support for steep climbs or extended rides. The Avinox M2 maintains noise levels as low as 45dBA1 thanks to a compound planetary gearset with a helical gear design. The bike comes standard with a removable 800Wh battery providing 172km of range, and riders can purchase a 600Wh removable battery that delivers up to 124km of range. The 800Wh and 600Wh batteries are swappable, and each can be paired with a 480Wh secondary battery - a brand new offering from Avinox that offers up to 100km of extended range and up to 1280Wh of total capacity. The frame’s quick-release design enables one-handed battery removable for quick swaps, off-bike charging, and easy travel.

Replaceable battery

Avinox is also introducing a new charging hub for safe, multi-battery charging. Users can charge up to four batteries sequentially in one sitting, supporting longer range rides and offering flexibility.

Lastly, co-developed with Amflow and TRP, Avinox SmoothShift Electronic Shifting allows the drive unit to detect gear-shift signals and shift the cassette smoothly without needing the rider to pedal. When paired with an Avinox-specific chain, the system stays smooth and controlled under high torque. The torque is intelligently reduced during a gear shift to minimize shock and protect the chain. The Amflow TL is the first bike to feature this electronic drivetrain.

Smart Software with the Avinox Ride App

The Avinox Ride app offers a number of smart features to enhance every ride on the Amflow TL:

  • Offline navigation: Supports third party route apps, displaying routes on the screen in real-time with turn guidance and alerts
  • Apple® Find My tracking: Pair Amflow TL Carbon with Apple® Find My to check the bike’s location and battery status, or activate its sound alert
  • Smart heart rate control: The Amflow TL can pair with a Bluetooth heart rate monitor and users can set a target heart rate zone that determines how much pedal assist the bike provides.
  • Osmo Camera connectivity: Connect a compatible Osmo camera and record with the wireless controller or from the control display

Finally, long enough chainstays. 

Jokes aside, this does line up with Avinox’s statement on power limits being arbitrary
