I suppose the weight limit is just one more argument for them to refuse warranty claims rather than a strict limit, the bike is not going to desintegrate under someone 120kg.
There is no mention of the adjustable BB in the geo chart, I can’t understand how companies can be so bad a communicatif basic info about their bikes
It’s quite possibly related to whatever testing they’ve done and their insurance.
Given the system ratings (as per @Goupil) of 120 or 115 kg for the trail bikes it looks like a design choice. If those were all over the place, yeah, that's what they passed in testing and lowered the limit. Considering ALL the bikes have a less than default system rating of 125 kg, it's clear they chose to design the bikes on the lighter side.
I guess it just pays off to handle the small percentage of warranty claims from heavier riders or to even deny them because they are too heavy.
It's a pain to have to design a bike for everyone from 50 kg to 120 kg, but that's where we are...
It may well have been just the auto translation, but the wording "Maximum permissible mass, must not be exceeded under any circumstances" is the bit that gets me... So how much of a G out for an 85kg rider's effective weight to be putting over 100kg of force into the frame? The wording asks more questions than it answers.

mass and force are different. “maximum mass” is actually the exact right wording to nullify your question about g force.
The discourse about the new Kona ebikes on Pinkbike is baffling to me. Clearly I'm out of touch, but I don't think it looks ugly, I think the geo is good, the Bosch motors are proven well supported and one of the best on the market, what's the problem?

A team replicer must be an Australia-only product.

Nah, not really. Driver weight is pretty unambiguous context.

Go to the Amflow website and get back to us
Big girls don't get any love I guess
It looks remarkably similar in size to the Amflow PR
New Demo and Aurum-like? A moment of silence for all the fallen soldiers that never got to see the day...
