7/29/2026 8:00am Sorry, I should have clarified. Combined with lots of other swaps I did with parts I had on the shelf. Magura brakes saved just under 1#, CF handlebars/ foam grips/ forged Wren stem saved almost 1#, Mattoc Pro saved over 1# from the cheap F36 it came with, new Trail Martello tires I ordered will save almost 1# combined. I...

7/29/2026 7:50am Just to clarify, I definitely don't have a thing where I'm trying too out do Sethimus or 'prove' my CXR is better than an Avinox (hint, it's probably not). But this is a forum where we all want to learn about bike technology and we want real facts, not hyperbole, and there is a lot of horseshit said about these...

What about the rattle tho? Somehow the rattle is never talked about if the motor is everybody's current darling. Back when Bosch was everybody's darling and the CX 4 rattled everyone only talked about how the Shimano rattled and had shitty batteries. I've seen multiple videos of basically all Avinox iterations rattle. So what's the tea there? As far as I know the CX 5 doesn't rattle at all.

7/29/2026 11:26am They already have. Sizing is limited however. I purchased a new small Trek EX+ for my gf & daughter to share. MSRP was $8.7K, I paid $6K and got another $600 back from my mom's electric utility company. Cool little bike. The size small is an MX 145/ 150 travel bike. It was quite heavy (over 46#s!) when new with...

Thanks, was hoping for another universal type option for the Avinox system.

7/28/2026 8:45am I hope the Rogue chain ring protection holds up well; I generally like the design and it's sleek and minimalist. It's a bit absurd to me that so many of the brands using Avinox have foregone chain ring protection. Legit, the motor could be 100x better than a Bosch and it wouldn't matter w/o chainring protection for me as it...

ffs, the same shit you are pulling over at emtbforums. the few extra watts of drag with the m1 were never ever in a region that would be noticable in range. stop spreading your nonsense. and your nonsense about a chain ring protection system adding a pound:

7/27/2026 1:19pm DJI found improvements related to tight seals which were used on the M1 to reduce the amount of rattling that made it outside the motor cases. They even announced this as an improvement to the M2. So, take it up with Avinox, not me. The M1 is roughly equivalent to the also rattling Gen4 Bosch but with lower reliability. The...

7/27/2026 1:00pm Personally, it's a feature that I don't even remotely care about, but I understand it's something that some might care about, although I don't think that's the vital Demographic. The point remains the same however: that people constantly portray the Bosch as a dinosaur regarding features, but if one were to line up all of the features, it appears from...

Bosch does not have heart rate controlled assist yet. You can integrate and see your heart rate but having the assist automatically adjust to your heart rate in real time is still exclusive to Avinox. If you’re using an ebike as a training tool, that is undeniably very enticing.

7/27/2026 1:05pm First, it's true, I've never even ridden an Avinox bike. My ego has no need to be 'right' about the Bosch, but I did choose what I considered the best bike with a great motor system. I would have been fine with an Avinox as well. I think the current and likely the future TQ motors are the top product...

They have sold so many, 30,000 in 2025 supposedly. If they were as bad as the second and third generation Levo we would’ve heard by now. People love to complain about stuff breaking.

Remember, there are alot of people who are what I've heard referred to as "Speadsheet Shoppers".. And with them, bigger is better. More watts, more better.. Bigger battery, better.. Avinox has done a good job at delivering more without a huge weight penalty. And from what I've heard, the new motor has done a good job addressing issues with the first motor. Refer to the podcast with Jeff and Robot. They are a tech company addressing things the way a tech company does. But, with all that said, I'm really interested in the rumors of a full power TQ motor...

I'll emphasize this question. I've never understood what's so special about the DJI motor other than ridiculous levels of power and assist, especially compared to a TQ motor. The DJI motor doesn't seem to have some magical battery. The efficiency doesn't seem to be that much, if any, better. It's always seemed to me that a lot of the form factor praise is just a smokescreen for people who want their crank to primarily function as a throttle.
