Mountain Bikes

A major battle is brewing in the world of ebikes: DJI subsidiary Avinox and components manufacturer Gobao are racing to bring powerful motors with integrated automatic gearboxes to the market – and we can't wait.

Amflow's versatile new ebike breaks out of the brand's eMTB comfort zone. The TL Carbon does everything from city commutes to loaded touring to trail riding, with plenty of power and functionality packed into a lightweight build.

Built for fast, remote motorized adventure that can go wrong in a hurry, the Dragan Pocket Winch aims to be the lightest come-along out there. It fractionalizes weight while still multiplying muscle enough to move up to 2,000 lb of stuck bike.

Brembo's braking equipment has graced many a champion-winning F1 racecar and MotoGP superbike over the last several decades. It's now targeting cyclists who demand serious stopping power, with a whole ecosystem of gear specifically for mountain bikes.

After leaving the competition scrambling with the launch of a powerful ebike drive system in 2024, DJI brand Avinox is set to do it all again with a second-generation flavor designed to beat every rival on power, torque, and weight.

Aventon's first full-suspension eMTB is dubbed the Current, and it looks, feels, and rides like it should cost twice as much. It doesn't, and that changes everything for the premium segment.

Aventon’s Ramblas ADV e-MTB steps firmly into trail territory with a new 750-W mid-drive motor delivering 100 Nm of torque. Launching at $2,899, it bridges the gap between value ebikes and premium mid-drive mountain brands.

The new Levo R squeezes an 850-W motor that adjusts power delivery in real time for maximum traction into a trail bike weighing under 19 kg. The result is an e-MTB designed, above all else, not to feel like an e-MTB at all.

The Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo 4 LTD takes premium e-MTB pricing to alarming heights, costing more than a new Nissan Versa. With a powerful e-drive and marbly blue-swirl paint, it is definitely a wondrous bike, but is it really worth the price?

After a year on the market, DJI is bringing its Amflow e-MTBs with high-performance Avinox e-drive to the US. But the Amflow PL's particular combination of 800+ watts, 120 Nm of torque and nearly 100 miles of range won't come cheap.

The Maxon Air is the sleek mid-motor behind a bike long billed as the world's lightest full-suspension e-MTB. The new Air S drive won't shave any ounces off that lively steed, but it will triple its original torque without adding significant weight.

San Diego's Ride1Up has tapped German engineering excellence for what's described as the brand's first fully trail-equipped Class 3 electric mountain bike. The TrailRush has been designed for long-range touring and light cross-country adventuring.
