The M2S is Avinox’s latest offering, marking a significant step forward in the brand’s development of e-bike drives. The new motor succeeds the previous Avinox M1, which was launched in 2024 under the name DJI Avinox M1. The DJI brand name has since been removed from the official designation, though the technical lineage remains clearly recognizable. Visually, too, the M2S closely follows its predecessor: the compact housing remains, with the addition of the red M2S lettering. The real message lies within.

Technically, the new drive makes a significant statement. The Avinox M2S weighs 2.6 kilograms and delivers up to 150 Newton-meters and 1,500 watts of peak power in Boost mode. In terms of raw numbers, Avinox is in the realm of motorcycles. For example, the Ducati Desmosedici GP25, the 2025 MotoGP race bike, has a comparable maximum torque. While the comparison of these different engine concepts is somewhat flawed in practice, the figure is impressive. In terms of wattage, however, the Avinox delivers two horsepower—the equivalent of a weak 50cc scooter engine.
Enough with the comparisons. On an e-mountain bike, the M2S delivers up to 130 Newton-meters and 1,300 watts continuously in Turbo mode. It achieves the aforementioned peak values in Boost mode for a maximum of 60 seconds. Compared to the M1 motor, power density increases by around 26 percent according to published data. Even its predecessor was considered an exceptionally powerful yet finely controllable mid-drive motor in terms of size and weight. The M2S now raises the bar even higher. Furthermore, the drive is IP66-rated for protection against water and dust.

Not only is the sheer power remarkable, but also the system’s design. The familiar 2-inch OLED touchscreen and the satellite control units on the handlebars remain. Added to this are 700- and 800-watt-hour batteries as well as fast-charging options. On current Amflow bike models, the 700-watt-hour battery is said to charge from 0 to 80 percent in about 75 minutes. Avinox and Amflow also cite noise levels of up to 45 dBA. This combination of high power, comparatively quiet operation, and precise tuning is intended to give the drive a controllable, natural riding experience despite its extreme specifications.
Although the Avinox M2S isn’t very heavy at 2.6 kilograms, it isn’t a lightweight e-MTB system, but rather a full-power drive consistently designed for maximum assistance.

E-mountain bikes with Avinox M2S

Ahead of its market launch in April 2026, the new motor has already been announced or installed in several models. These include, among others, the Mondraker Zendit with an 800-watt-hour battery and 170/165-millimeter travel, the Raymon Tarok, the YT Decoy X, the Pivot Shuttle AMP’d, the Rotwild R.EXC, the Lee Cougan Flö, as well as updated or reissued models such as the Commencal Meta Power SX Avinox. Amflow is also already using the M2S in the PX Carbon Pro, PX Carbon, and PR Carbon Pro. The range demonstrates that the motor is not limited to a single concept but serves a wide variety of platforms, from aggressive enduro bikes to versatile all-mountain bikes.
