Aventon Aventure M

A mid-drive motor on a fat-tire frame sets the Aventure M apart: Aventon's A100 sits at the cranks with 100 Nm of torque, and an electronic shifter with AutoShift can choose the gear for you. Pair that with 26 x 4.0 in tires and an 80 mm fork, and it is built for trails, snow and steep gravel.

Highlights

• A100 mid-drive: rated 250 W sustained with 750 W peak and 100 Nm, torque sensing built in and an IP67 rating (see hub motor vs mid-drive).
• E-Shifter with AutoShift: Shimano CUES 10-speed gearing, with AutoShift to change gear on its own.
• 733 Wh battery: 36V 20Ah with LG 21700 cells, certified to UL 2271 and removable; up to 137 km in Eco mode by the brand's figure, 5 h to charge.
• Fat-tire chassis: Inova puncture-resistant tires on thru-axles, an 80 mm fork with lockout and a 50 mm suspension seatpost.
• Brakes: SRAM DB4 hydraulic discs with a 200 mm front and 180 mm rear rotor.
• Speed, weight and load: pedal assist only as shipped, with a 45 km/h top speed once reconfigured in Aventon's app, by the brand's figure; 33.1 kg bike, 181 kg maximum load.

Who it suits

Riders who climb on loose ground, ride through winter or explore sandy and rocky tracks, and who want a natural pedalling feel with gears that keep up on their own.

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 in the box: Aventon sells one separately.
