In April 2026, Avinox, a subsidiary of DJI, unveiled its latest e-bike drive systems: the M2S and M2 motors. These new models significantly enhance performance, efficiency, and connectivity, setting a new benchmark in the electric mountain bike (eMTB) sector.
Enhanced Performance and Efficiency
The Avinox M2S motor delivers a peak power output of 1,500W and a maximum torque of 150Nm, while the M2 motor offers 1,100W and 125Nm, respectively. Notably, the M2S achieves a 45% increase in power density and a 21.6% boost in torque density compared to its predecessor, the M1, all within a compact unit weighing approximately 2.6 kg. This advancement is attributed to the adoption of flat copper wire technology, which allows for a stronger magnetic field without expanding the motor’s size. (bikeradar.com)
Innovative Battery Solutions
Accompanying the new motors are advanced battery options. The integrated FP700 battery provides 700Wh and charges from 0% to 80% in just over one hour. For riders seeking flexibility, Avinox introduces removable RS800 (800Wh) and RS600 (600Wh) batteries, enabling easier home charging and the possibility of dual-battery setups for extended range.

Advanced Cooling and Noise Reduction
To maintain optimal performance during extended rides, the M2S features a redesigned cooling system with integrated fins and a temperature sensor, effectively managing heat and preventing performance throttling. Both motors operate at noise levels below 45 dBA, thanks to innovative gear designs: the M2S employs a dual-pinion gear system to minimize mechanical noise and pedal kickback, while the M2 utilizes helical gears to reduce vibrations on uneven terrains.

Connectivity and User Experience
Avinox enhances rider experience with new OLED displays that offer turn-by-turn navigation and customizable ride data. The Avinox Ride app allows for precise adjustments to motor behavior, including assistance levels and torque settings, and integrates heart rate-based assist control to maintain optimal exertion levels. Additionally, Apple Find My integration provides advanced security features to protect against theft. (dronexl.co)
Industry Adoption
The M2S and M2 motors have garnered support from over 60 leading bike manufacturers, including Amflow, Atherton, BH, Canyon, Commencal, Megamo, Mondraker, Pivot, and Forbidden. This widespread adoption underscores Avinox’s growing influence in the e-bike market and its commitment to advancing eMTB technology. (bolsamania.com)
In summary, Avinox’s M2S and M2 motors represent a significant leap forward in e-bike technology, offering unparalleled power, efficiency, and rider connectivity. Their integration into a diverse range of eMTBs promises to redefine the riding experience for enthusiasts worldwide.
