Aventon Ramblas ADV

Climb, then let the bike choose the assist: the Ramblas ADV adds an AUTO mode that reads the slope, plus a torque sensor built into its A100 mid-drive. Tubeless-ready 29 x 2.4 in Maxxis Rekon tires and a 130 mm RockShox Psylo fork set this hardtail up for trail riding.

Highlights

• Mid-drive with a torque sensor: the A100 is rated 250 W, peaks at 750 W and makes 100 Nm; ECO, TRAIL and TURBO can each be tuned in the app (see how torque and cadence sensors differ).
• 708 Wh battery: 36V with LG 21700 cells, rated by the brand for up to 145 km in Eco pedal assist; about 5 h for a full charge.
• Suspension: RockShox Psylo Silver R coil fork, 130 mm of travel with rebound adjustment, on a 6061 single-butted aluminum hardtail frame.
• Stopping and shifting: SRAM DB6 4-piston hydraulic discs on SRAM G2 rotors (200 mm front, 180 mm rear) and SRAM NX 12-speed with a 10–50T cassette.
• Trail extras: a Manic LC dropper seatpost with 150 mm of travel, integrated lights and a kickstand in the box.
• Speed and load: 32 km/h assist by default, adjustable to 45 km/h by the brand's figure; 136 kg maximum load; 24.5 kg bike weight. Aventon lists it as TUV certified to UL 2849 and UL 2271.

Who it suits

Medium to tall riders (sizes M, L and XL) who want a hardtail for trails and gravel roads that can still handle the ride to work.

Good to know

• Range is the brand's figure; speed, hills, rider weight, tire pressure and cold all change it. How to estimate your range.
• Ships free anywhere in Canada (no P.O. boxes).
• No throttle is fitted; the motor helps only while you pedal.
