Avinox M1 (DJI): 105 Nm, 850W peak, 800 Wh battery — full specs

Context: DJI enters the e-bike market

DJI (the Chinese drone manufacturer) launches its Avinox M1 motor in 2024. By 2026, it equips models from Amflow, Mondraker, and several boutique brands. Impressive marketing announcement: 105 Nm torque, 850 W peak power, 800 Wh battery in the frame. Here's the reality.

Official specs

Spec	Value
Max torque	105 Nm
Peak power (Boost mode)	850 W (10 s)
Nominal power (EU legal)	250 W
Max assisted cadence	120 rpm
Motor weight alone	2.52 kg
Torque sensor	Triple (torque, cadence, position) at 1000 Hz
Sealing	IPX6
Temperature range	-20 to +60°C
Connectivity	Bluetooth 5.3, DJI Avinox app
Firmware update	OTA via app

The 800 Wh battery — the real innovation

Avinox offers an 800 Wh battery in a standard downtube (40×80×450 mm). That's 50% more than the Bosch PowerTube 500 Wh at equivalent size. High-density Samsung 50E cells (5000 mAh/cell), 80 cells in series/parallel configuration (14s 6p).

Real-world range (measured on Amflow PL Carbon, 75 kg rider, mixed rolling terrain):

Eco mode: 130–150 km
Trail mode: 80–100 km
Boost mode: 45–60 km

Compare that to a Bosch CX + PowerTube 750 (~110 km in Trail): equivalent range despite 50 Wh less, thanks to superior Avinox motor efficiency (87% vs 80% for Bosch CX by independent measurement).

How it compares to Bosch CX

Avinox advantages:

+15 Nm torque vs Bosch CX (105 vs 90 Nm) — noticeable on takeoff and steep hills
+100 W peak power (850 vs 750 W) — more aggressive boost mode
Motor 35% lighter (2.52 vs 3.9 kg)
Native app without mandatory Smart System — direct Bluetooth connection
Free OTA firmware updates for life (Bosch charges for some features)

Avinox disadvantages:

Sparse aftersales support in Europe — DJI Avinox lacks Bosch's dealer network; if the motor fails, expect quick return to Shenzhen factory (4–6 weeks quoted)
No legal unrestricting possible (no equivalent to Bosch Dongle)
Limited diagnostics — the app reports basic error codes, but no detailed logs like Bosch DiagnosticTool
Weak market penetration — few bike shops trained to service them

Assistance modes — 5 levels

Mode	Multiplier	Max torque
Eco	×1.2	30 Nm
Trail	×2.0	60 Nm
Auto (adaptive)	×1.5 to ×3.0	variable
Turbo	×3.5	95 Nm
Boost (10 s)	—	105 Nm

The Auto mode reads torque sensor data in real time and adjusts the multiplier — it's the most versatile everyday mode.

DJI connectivity

The DJI Avinox app (iOS + Android) does much better than Bosch eBike Flow:

Detailed stats per ride (average power, cadence, consumption in Wh/km)
Fine-tuning of all 5 modes (torque curve, cut-off speed, launch feel)
Motor diagnostics with real-time temperatures
Native GPS navigation (no need for Komoot/Strava integration)

Verdict 2026

The Avinox M1 is technically superior to the Bosch CX and directly rivals the Specialized 2.2 or Shimano EP801. The catch is aftersales: if you're 100 km from a Bosch dealer, you're 800 km from an Avinox point.

Consider it if:

You want the best performance on the market
You accept slightly higher aftersales risk
You value lightweight and range

Avoid it if:

You ride in a remote area
You take long-distance trips far from civilisation
You plan to sell your bike in 2–3 years (Avinox used value is unknown)
