Real mtb people will figure out the tq60 power level is good. Non cyclist will need more

The extra power doesn't appeal to me at all. What i want is a lighter ebike, and I'm happy to put in more effort to achieve it. What is a non-negotiable, is range - I have to have the same range as my full fat brothers. For these reasons, a Fuel+ appeals to me much more than any of these Avinox bikes. Am I missing something? I've not seen any light (sub 45lbs) Avinox ebikes?

the new trek Fuel+ with MX leverage and 205*65 shox give 162mm travel, with TQ 60 , I thinks that it 's the closest bike to your Relay

Mine makes a noise like that sometimes. It’s my front numberplate when I use all the travel up front.

Just give it a thumb throttle and call it a day. 800% "Assist" is just a joke. When the motor is doing more than 50% of the work you are being pushed. You are cosplaying a cyclist. These bikes shouldn't be called pedal assist, they should be called CosPeds.

What Avinox pulled off is impressive engineering but I would have rather seen them stay in the 90-100 Nm Range and therefore make the motor smaller und lighter. Having a Bosch CX4 bike myself (Canyon Strive:ON) I really don't miss more power but less weight would be really appreciated.

34-35mm grips are the best thing ever. Cant even ride a bike with skinny grips. I hate the Renthal Kevlar grips I use on my moto bike.

Another review I watched said it's fixed on the M2S, and the M2 is quieter than M1 but not as quiet as the M2S.

Did they fix the rattle on the new versions?

I agree. To much power and weight. I’d take 1/2 the power and 1/2 the weight, in a reliable smooth and quiet package. With a range extender option.

Looks like I might be forced to buy a DJI bike to replace my relay. 🫤Now I’m just dreaming of a 300-400wh battery to loose some weight for home trail laps. My dream is a carbon tubed Atherton with titanium lugs and two different sized battery’s. Maybe by the time they are available in the US.

The Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay SL would be worth a look too. Could potentially over-stroke the shock and throw a 170mm fork on there

This bike is so close, I just don’t get along with the Bosch SX motor. I think the tq60 is the best option for a mid power bike that rides like an analog bike. I know it limits the options

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. The Norco is a good looking bike. Might be a possibility.

Can you guys help me out. Currently riding a transition Relay PNW. 170mm front and rear, mullet. I’m sick of replacing motors, I do love the geo and over all love the bike so much. But it’s becoming an issue especially since I’m not sure Fazua will be around much longer. Who builds a SL long travel bike with aggressive...
