Amflow PX Carbon with Avinox M2S in review: 1500 watts at less than 22 kilos!

It was one of the most sought-after E-MTBs of 2025: the Amflow PL Carbon from the Chinese DJI spin-off Amflow. The reason: on the one hand, it was the first and for a long time the only bike with the DJI Avinox M1 motor. Secondly, it combined maximum motor power with minimum weight. It was also able to prove these characteristics and its special status in the BIKE test. After just over a year on the market, the Chinese have already launched the successor to their successful model. The Amflow PX Carbon with the brand new Avinox M2S (tested here).

At first glance, the bike looks like its predecessor (Amflow PL Carbon Pro in the BIKE Test), the frame shape has remained basically identical and the slim silhouette remains the same. There are also no changes to the suspension travel: 160 millimetres at the front, 150 at the rear. What is new, however, is that the bike rolls ex works on the Mullet wheel mix with 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear wheels. A flip chip can be used to convert to full 29 as an option. With the predecessor, it was the other way round.

Facts and innovations Amflow PX Carbon

• Motor: Avinox M2S with 1500 W peak power
• Battery: New, slimmer 700 Wh battery (3.18 kg)
• Suspension travel: 160/150 mm
• Wheel size: 29/27.5 inch (compatible with Full 29)
• Frame: Carbon main frame and rear triangle
• Optimised geometry with shorter seat tube and steeper seat angle
• Geometry adjustable: steering angle by +/- 1°; chainstay length, bottom bracket height
• 2 equipment variants PX Carbon and PX Carbon Pro
• Prices: 6999 or 9999 euros
• Avinox front light as standard
• Weight: 21.7 kg (top model in size L, BIKE measurement)

Even if it is not so visually striking: Amflow has completely redesigned the frame. The geometry has been significantly adapted, with a shorter seat tube, steeper seat angle and longer reach, the bike has become more modern and trail-orientated overall. Interesting: The chainstays are shorter, which may be in favour of agility, but also at the expense of climbing ability. Amflow also claims to have eliminated another point of criticism. The rear triangle is said to be 10 % stiffer.

Avinox M2S with new battery

The basis for the new edition is the Avinox M2S, the successor to the Avinox M1. Its predecessor was already in a league of its own in terms of performance. But the M2S goes one better. In the Amflow PX Carbon, it delivers an incredible peak output of 1500 watts. With the M1 it was 1000 watts. The newcomer is therefore 50 per cent more powerful. The massive increase in power also has to do with the battery used. This peak performance is only possible with the newly developed 700-cell battery, which is designed to deliver a higher maximum output. As with its predecessor, the battery is permanently installed and, at 3.18 kg, is said to be very light in relation to its capacity.

Prices and equipment

The Amflow PX Carbon comes in two equipment variants. Compared to its predecessor, both are slightly "thicker", more downhill-orientated and more robustly equipped. Schwalbe tyres with Gravity casing, Magura Gustav Pro stoppers - but Amflow sticks with Fox's 36 models for the fork.

The cheaper Amflow PX Carbon comes with the lower quality performance suspension elements from Fox. The gears are shifted electronically via radio with the affordable S1000 transmission groupset from Sram. The handlebars and wheels come from Amflow's own brand and are made of aluminium. Cost: 6999 euros.

The top model PX Carbon Pro saves even more weight with carbon fibre parts. The rims and handlebars are also Amflow-labelled - but made of carbon fibre in this case. The suspension consists of a 36 Factory fork and Float X Factory shock from Fox, including the iconic Kashima coating. The gears have been updated to the Sram X0 Eagle Transmission, which also changes gears electronically via radio. The price for this is 9999 euros.

Opinion of the editorial team

At Amflow, the clocks are obviously ticking differently: just one and a half years after the market launch of the PL Carbon, the Chinese company has followed up with an update that is quite something. In terms of geometry and equipment, the manufacturer has reacted quickly to much criticism and customer requests - such rapid customisation is exceptional. This also applies to the power of the new engine. The new PX Carbon loses its unique selling point of extremely low weight - the predecessor was more consistent in this respect. At the same time, the range is reduced with the smaller battery. We are excited to see how the new PX Carbon Pro performs on the trails. The test is underway and we will report back.
