Whyte Secta 26 MX | All New for 2026

Whyte Secta 26 MX – All New for 2026

A next‑step hardtail built to unlock confidence, control and progression | Shop Now

Whyte’s new Secta 26 MX arrives for 2026 with one clear goal: give young riders a proper trail bike that feels stable, capable and fun from the very first ride. Designed for riders aged 12 years and up (137cm-152cm), it brings real mountain bike performance to the junior category, with geometry, components and sizing chosen to help early‑teen riders grow their skills without being held back by heavy frames or under‑specced parts.

The standout feature is the MX wheel setup – a 27.5″ wheel up front for stability and confidence, paired with a 26″ rear wheel for agility and control. This mixed approach creates a balanced ride that feels planted on rough ground yet easy to manoeuvre through corners, jumps and tight trail features. It also allows Whyte to fit a premium 27.5″ air‑sprung fork, giving young riders the same tunable suspension performance found on adult trail bikes.

The result is a bike that feels fast, predictable and confidence‑inspiring everywhere from local woods to bike park laps.

Built for young riders who want to progress

The Secta 26 MX is built around a lightweight, multi‑butted 6061 T6 aluminium frame designed specifically for junior riders. This isn’t a scaled‑down adult frame – the tubing, geometry and fit are all tailored to keep weight low and handling sharp. Climbs feel easier, long rides feel more manageable and technical sections feel less intimidating.

Weather‑sealed cable routing keeps things running smoothly through winter, and the frame is dropper‑post ready, giving riders a clear upgrade path as their confidence grows.

Whyte Secta 26 MX

Whyte have created a smart MX wheel setup that helps young riders push further with confidence.

 

Tunable suspension for real trail control

Whyte has fitted the Secta with a Suntour MAG32 100mm air‑sprung fork. For young riders, this matters. Air suspension allows proper setup for lighter bodyweights, giving balanced support and predictable handling that coil forks often can’t match.

  • Air spring adjustment for rider‑specific tuning
  • Rebound adjustment for controlled, confident handling
  • Hydraulic lock‑out for efficient climbing and smooth surfaces

It’s a setup that helps riders stay in control on roots, rocks and rough ground, while keeping the ride comfortable and fun.

Trail‑proven parts chosen for reliability

Every component on the Secta 26 MX has been selected to give young riders a dependable platform that encourages progression.

  • Shimano Essa 1×8 drivetrain with a wide‑range 11‑45T cassette for simple, smooth shifting
  • Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors for consistent stopping power in all conditions
  • WTB Trail Boss tyres (2.4in front, 2.25in rear) for confident grip across mixed terrain
  • Youth‑specific saddle, brake levers and cranks for better fit and control

Nothing is over‑complicated. Nothing is under‑specced. It’s a solid, confidence‑building setup that lets riders focus on the trail ahead.

Who is it for

The Whyte Secta 26 MX is ideal for riders aged 12+ who want a hardtail that feels stable, capable and ready for upgrades as their skills develop. It suits:

  • Young riders stepping up from their first mountain bike
  • Early‑teen riders who want real trail performance
  • Families looking for a durable, low‑maintenance bike that can handle year‑round riding
  • Riders who want a platform that can grow with them

Available in purple or aqua, it’s a bike that looks as good as it rides.

A bike designed to build confidence

The Secta 26 MX brings together modern geometry, a lightweight frame, tunable suspension and a smart MX wheel setup to create a bike that helps young riders push further with confidence. It’s simple, tough and built with progression in mind – the kind of bike that makes every ride feel like a step forward.

Abus Targon: Convertible – Full Face or Trail Lid?

Choose Your Fighter: Full Face or Trail Lid? Both?

Having just headed out on a road trip around Scotland, Chris our Graphic Designer & Content Guy shared a van with 3 other riders. Covering 4000m of climbing over the trip and riding bikepark style jump lines at Glenlivet, the trail lid alone can sometimes feel inadequate for this mix of riding types but the bulk of 4 riders bringing full-faces – is just too much.

Welcome the Targon. a really simple latch mechanism (aptly named the Speedlatch), removes the chin bar and turns a full face into a trail lid in seconds and removes clutter from the car/van on race weekends or road trips.

 

The Speed Latch System: Conversion Without the Faff

The headline feature is the patented Speed Latch System. On many convertible helmets, detaching and reattaching the chin bar is enough of a nuisance that riders end up just leaving it in one position. Abus have tackled this head-on (so to speak) with a no-tools-required mechanism. It really is simple and quick.

 

Comfort

We took the Targon out in the winter for a full day at the Golfie. Trying both configurations when riding the different speed of trails. I found the Targon the feel comfortable in both setups, but more importantly, felt purposeful in both configurations. It’s downhill rated, and it feels like it. The dial on the back of the helmet fine-tunes the feel to suit, quickly loosen on climbs for some airflow and tighten before a lap of Mega Track. Confidence inspiring and comfortable at the same time. I did find the chinbar to be slightly tight when putting the full face setup on, however I didn’t try adjusting any pads, which I’m sure would have solved my issue.

 

Who Is It For?

The Targon makes most sense for riders who mix up their riding between mellower trail days and more committing descents — enduro riders, bike park visitors, those heading on a mountain bike holiday where conditions are unpredictable, and anyone who’s ever turned up in an open-face lid and wished they’d brought the full-face. It’s also a sensible choice for riders who travel with their bike and want one versatile helmet rather than two.

If you’re a dedicated downhill racer after the lightest, most focused full-face on the market, a dedicated DH lid may still be your best bet. But for the vast majority of UK riders who spend their time somewhere in the middle ground, the Targon is a very well-executed option.

You can find the Abus Targon at Wheelbase, available online and in our stores. As ever, if you need any advice on sizing or whether the Targon is the right helmet for your riding, our team are on hand to help — just give us a call on 01539 821443 or drop us an email at info@wheelbase.co.uk.

It’s Time To RAS Hard!

RAS TAILTEANN 2026

Wheelbase Cabtech Castelli heads to Ireland with high hopes.

RAS TAILTEANN 2026

Wheelbase Cabtech Castelli are back in action in Ireland at the Ras Tailteann between 20th-24th May.

Wheelbase Cabtech Castelli are sending a small but super-strong team of riders to the famous Ras Tailteann stage race in Ireland. The squad boasts a high level of collective experience which will serve them well during this demanding multi-stage race which plays out on some of Ireland’s most challenging roads. The talented squad features past Ras Tailteann stage winners, most notably Tim Shoreman who sprinted to win two stages of the 2025 edition along with experienced stage racers in the form of the two Toms who have both raced for continental teams in Europe.

RAS TAILTEANN 2026

Tom Armstrong, Mitchell McLaughlin, Aaron King, Tom Martin and Tim Shoreman bring strength and experience to the squad for Ras Tailteann.

Turning the clock back further to the 2024 edition of the Ras it’s worth noting that Shoreman took the overall Green Points jersey in another showing of strength and consistency which was backed up by some excellent teamwork throughout the race. Can he recapture that sort of consistency in 2026? Time will tell.

Ras Tailteann 2026

The tight-knit Wheelbase Cabtech Castelli team can be relied upon to work selflessly for one another during the five day race.

With team riders on good form and following two recent podium spots for Tom Armstrong at the Cicle Cassic and the Lincoln GP confidence is high as the lads board the ferry over to Ireland. Stu Reid will be behind the wheel of the Wheelbase Cabtech Castelli team car again, sharing his tactical nous in what promises to be a stage race packed full of drama thanks to a challenging parcours, unpredictable weather and a peloton packed full of national and international racing talent.

Follow the team’s fortunes on Instagram @wheelbase_cabtech_castelli and @wheelbase.co.uk

 

The 71st edition of Rás Tailteann will take place from May 20th to May 24th, 2026. See full details HERE

 

Stage 1: Portlaoise, Co Laois to Kilmallock, Co Limerick

(Distance: 161.6 KM)

Wednesday, May 20th, 2026

The race will get underway in Portlaoise before making its way to the historic Limerick town of Kilmallock which also hosted the Stage 1 finish in 2024 and produced a fantastic turnout of spectators.

The opening half of the stage will take place on mostly flat roads through the countryside of Laois and Tipperary. The race then tackles its first climbs of Rás Tailteann 2026, dipping into the Silvermines at Dolla. A further climb at Old Pallas on the run-in to Kilmallock is sure to shake things up.

A fast final 20 kilometres could allow things to come back together — or provide an opportunity for a decisive move.

 

Stage 2: Rathmore, Co Kerry to Banteer, Co Cork

(Distance: 182.9 KM)

Thursday, May 21st, 2026

Following a transfer to County Kerry, Stage 2 will start in Rathmore, close to the home of Sliabh Luachra Cycling Club, who have made great strides since their foundation.

A long and demanding day awaits, featuring six categorised climbs. A Category 3 climb before Kilgarvan opens the action, followed by a run into Kenmare and onward into West Cork.

The race will then take in the famous Tunnel Road / Caha Pass, before descending into Glengarriff. A further Category 3 climb follows before the long ascent to Gougane Gap.

Two additional Category 3 climbs on the approach to Banteer complete the day.

 

Stage 3: Mitchelstown, Co Cork to Enniscorthy, Co Wexford

(Distance: 155.6 KM)

Friday, May 22nd, 2026

Stage 3 departs from Mitchelstown and, while shorter and less mountainous on paper, history has shown that these are often the days that can turn the general classification upside down.

The route features mostly flat roads on a twisting and technical circuit, with just two Category 3 climbs along the way. However, the final challenge comes in the closing kilometre, with an uphill finish into Enniscorthy. Seconds gained or lost here could prove vital, and it is safe to say the final 3KM rule will not apply on this stage.

 

Stage 4: Carlow Town, Co Carlow to Baltinglass, Co Wicklow

(Distance: 141.6 KM)

Saturday, May 23rd, 2026

Rás Tailteann returns to Wicklow for the first time in eight years. Much of this route was last used during the 2018 edition.

A huge and difficult day awaits, with eight categorised climbs, including the two Category 1 ascents of Drumgoff / Shay Elliott Memorial and the Wicklow Gap.

A very fast final 20 kilometres on the N81 into Baltinglass may allow some regrouping after the mountain but it is likely to be a heavily reduced peloton contesting the stage win. Baltinglass previously hosted a memorable stage finish with Eddie Dunbar taking victory there in 2016. The Wicklow Mountains have always delivered epic Rás stages and all eyes will be on this one.

 

Stage 5: Carlow Town, Co Carlow to Dunboyne, Co Meath

(Distance: 142.4 KM)

Sunday, May 24th, 2026

(Including three laps of finishing circuit)

The grand finale starts in Carlow with a ceremonial roll-out before heading across mostly flat roads through Carlow and Kildare. The only classified climb is the Category 3 Hill of Allen, before the race heads towards Dunboyne.

Wheelbase Fred Whitton Challenge 2026

The Struggle climb ramps up the challenge of this year’s Fred!

Fred Whitton Challenge 2026

Sunday 10th of May saw over 2,000 road cyclists take on the grueling Fred Whitton Challenge sponsored by Wheelbase. Riders were treated to blue skies and cool temperatures giving them the perfect conditions for a big day out on the bike, with the ‘The Fred’ spanning 106 miles for this unique edition rather than the usual 112 miles because a route change due to the closure of Kirkstone Pass. Anyone who was fooled into a false sense of security because of the slightly reduced distance would have a rude awakening as the route was adjusted to take on the infamous climb of The Struggle. Rising out of Ambleside with gradients up to 24% this grueling climb came only 3 miles into the ride and was a timely reminder to all of the riders that they were in for a very demanding day.

FRED WHITTON CHALLENGE 2026

The Fred Whitton Challenge continues to grow in popularity every year with a record 6,000 entries for the 2026 edition. Of the 2,500 places available organisers reported that 1,900 participants were first timers which is testament to how much the Fred has become a bucket list event on the Sportive calendar. With national and international riders traveling far and wide to be at the start line and with a mix of abilities across the field every rider who successfully completed the event would go home with their own stories of a very personal challenge.

FRED WHITTON CHALLENGE 2026

Taking on the iconic climbs of The Struggle, Honister, Newlands, Whinlatter, Hardknott, Wrynose and Blea Tarn the fastest riders on the day would complete the route in under 6 hours with Josh Hall coming in with the fastest time of the day in 5hrs 23mins 14secs. For most though the Wheelbase Fred Whitton Challenge would be an all-day epic with some finishing times exceeding 11hrs.

FRED WHITTON CHALLENGE 2026

Why is this iconic cycling challenge called ‘The Fred’? The ride exists because of Fred Whitton from the /Lakes Road Club. His untimely death inspired others to take on this extraordinary route in his memory. Today the event raises a considerable amount of money for selected charities, with an average of just over £100,000 going to MacMillan Nurses every year. Over the last few years, the Fred Whitton Challenge has donated £608,000 to the two Air Ambulances in Cumbria, The Mountain Rescue and various youth cycling projects.

Wheelbase is proud to lend their support to the Fred Whitton Challenge and would to thank all the volunteers who work so hard every year to make it run so smoothly.

FRED WHITTON CHALLENGE 2026

Congratulations to our Wheelbase supported riders who got round in some impressive times:

Kevin Moore 5hrs 55mins 29secs 1/564 Ages 50-59

Matthew Bulmer 5hrs 59mins 34secs Ages 19/609 40-49

Oliver Turvey 6hrs 41mins 32secs 52/609 Ages 40-49

Bosch Performance Line 120Nm Update

Bosch Performance Line CX & CX‑R Update: More Power, More Control, More Fun

Bosch has dropped a fresh update for the Performance Line CX and CX‑R motors, and it’s a good one. Available now through the Bosch Flow App, the upgrade brings 120Nm of torque, 600% support, and a more customisable Extended Boost Overrun. There are also a couple of neat extras tucked in, including a drivetrain tensioner feature and a new Trick Check mode for tracking those little moments that make a ride memorable.

Looking ahead, Bosch has also confirmed a 12A GaN fast charger arriving later this year. It weighs under 1kg, so it’s ideal for riders who like to head out all day and top up on the go. We’ll be stocking them as soon as they land.

120Nm Torque

The CX and CX‑R motors now push out 120Nm, giving you noticeably more drive on steep pitches and technical climbs. It’s a welcome boost for riders who spend their time exploring the rougher side of the trail network.

600% Support

With up to six times your input, the motor steps in when the gradient ramps up or the legs start to fade. It’s designed to keep you moving smoothly, even when the terrain isn’t playing nice.

Extended Boost Overrun

You can now fine‑tune how long the motor continues to help after you stop pedalling. It’s especially handy for awkward rock steps, rooty sections, or anywhere you’d normally lose momentum.

Trick Check

A fun addition for riders who like to look back on their ride stats. Trick Check automatically logs airtime, manuals, stoppies, and more, giving you a snapshot of the playful bits once you’re back at the trailhead.

Shop our full range of Bosch electric mountain bikes, ready to update, now. Here’s some of our best sellers that are ready for the update;

Cannondale Supersix Evo 3 | Wheelbase

Cannondale SuperSix EVO 3 (2025) – Now £2,699 (33% Off RRP)

Was £4,000 • Now £2,699 | Shop Now

So light. So fast. So aero. The evolution of speed.

The 2025 Cannondale SuperSix EVO 3 has just become one of the best value performance road bikes in the UK. With the arrival of the latest SuperSix generation, this outgoing model now sits at an incredible £2,699, a full 33 percent off its original £4,000 RRP. For a bike with this level of engineering, integration, and electronic shifting, the value is almost unmatched.

This is the same SuperSix EVO platform that has defined modern race bike performance: ultra light, wind tunnel refined, and razor sharp on the road. It is built to make you faster everywhere, on climbs, on the flats, through corners, and when you are emptying the tank on the final straight.

Thanks to the new model release, it is now available at a price that opens the door to both ambitious beginners and seasoned riders looking for a serious upgrade.

Why This 2025 EVO 3 Is Such a Standout Deal

The SuperSix EVO 3 was already a benchmark for real world race performance. At this new price, it becomes something else entirely: a gateway to top tier speed without the top tier cost.

  • For beginners, it is a chance to start your road cycling journey on a bike that handles beautifully, shifts flawlessly, and gives you room to grow for years.
  • For experienced riders, it is a rare opportunity to step into a fully integrated, electronic equipped race bike without spending deep into the £3 to £5k bracket.

This is a bike that punches far above its new price point, and that is exactly why it is turning heads.

Key Features

  • SuperSix EVO Carbon Frameset. Lightweight, meticulously shaped, and aerodynamically refined for pure speed and real world comfort.
  • Shimano 105 Di2 12 Speed. Wireless electronic shifting that is crisp, consistent, and race ready.
  • DT Swiss R470 Wheels. Durable, responsive, and confidence inspiring on fast descents and tight corners.
  • Vision Trimax Aero Bars and Cannondale C1 Conceal Stem. A fully integrated cockpit with hidden cables and low drag shaping.
  • Supernatural Handling. Neutral race geometry that feels intuitive for new riders and precise for experienced racers.

Tech Highlights

  • Delta Steerer Technology. Reduces frontal area for improved aerodynamics and seamless cable integration.
  • Threaded BSA Bottom Bracket. Simple, reliable, and easy to service.
  • Tyre Clearance up to 30 mm. Comfort, control, or maximum responsiveness, your choice.
  • SmartSense Compatible. Ready for Cannondale’s integrated light and radar system.
  • Aero Bottle Integration (Optional). Designed to work with ReGrip Aero cages and Gripper Aero bottles for even more speed.

Who’s it for?

The SuperSix EVO 3 is built for riders who want speed, whether that is your first proper road bike or your next performance upgrade.

  • New riders will appreciate the stability, comfort, and confidence inspiring handling.
  • Club riders and racers will unlock the aerodynamic efficiency, stiffness, and precision that the EVO platform is known for.
  • KOM hunters and performance focused cyclists will love how efficiently it turns power into speed.

This is a bike that rewards every watt, no matter your experience level.

Race Proven Performance

The SuperSix EVO platform continues to deliver at the sharp end of UK racing.

In 2025, Wheelbase rider James “Jimmy the Blade” McKay rode a Shimano 105 Di2 equipped SuperSix EVO to victory at the Lincoln Grand Prix, one of the toughest races in the National Road Series. The brutal cobbles of Michaelgate are a proving ground for both rider and machine, and the EVO delivered.

What that win proved:

  • Shimano 105 Di2 is absolutely race worthy
  • Performance does not require a premium price tag
  • A well engineered bike plus a strong rider equals results

The same core technology that crossed the line first in Lincoln is exactly what you will find on the SuperSix EVO 3.

Full Specification

  • Frame: SuperSix EVO Carbon, integrated routing, BSA 68mm BB, SmartSense compatible
  • Fork: SuperSix EVO Carbon, internal routing, Delta steerer
  • Groupset: Shimano 105 Di2 R7170 2×12

At just 2.9kg, the Amflow PR’s carbon frame sets a new benchmark for strength‑to‑weight performance. It’s stiff where it matters, compliant where it counts, and engineered to stay composed through rough, high‑speed terrain.

Progressive Geometry, Tuned to You

Riders can fine‑tune nearly every aspect of the bike’s handling thanks to:

  • 5 head‑tube angle positions
  • 2 bottom bracket height settings
  • 4 chainstay lengths

With up to 40 geometry combinations, the Amflow PR adapts to your terrain, your style, and your ambitions. From steep, technical climbs to fast, flowing descents, the bike’s adjustable platform gives you complete control over how it rides.

Power That Feels Natural – Until You Need More

At the heart of the Amflow PR is the Avinox Drive System, available in two configurations:

  • M2 Drive Unit – lightweight, responsive, and efficient
  • M2S Drive Unit – delivering up to 150N·m of torque and 1500W peak power

Despite its massive output, the system is engineered for quiet, seamless support. With noise levels as low as 45dBA, the trail feels more alive—wind, tyres, and terrain take centre stage again.

Ride Modes for Every Moment

  • Auto Mode adjusts assistance in real time based on terrain and rider input.
  • Boost Mode unleashes full power instantly for steep climbs or technical features.
  • High‑precision sensors ensure support feels smooth, linear, and intuitive.

Battery Freedom: Ride Farther, Charge Faster

800Wh Removable Battery

The new RS800 battery delivers up to 158km of range and weighs as little as 4kg. Its slide‑rail mounting system and Battery Lock make swaps fast, secure, and tool‑free.

Dual‑Battery Expansion

For ultra‑long adventures, the frame supports an additional 600Wh RS600 battery. Riders can set discharge priorities and monitor each battery independently via the Control Display or Avinox Ride app.

Fast Charging, Less Waiting

The compact 12A/508W GaN charger powers the system from:

  • 0 – 80% in ~1h 36m
  • 0 – 100% in ~2h 25m

Perfect for topping up during lunch breaks or between shuttle laps.

Battery Care for Long‑Term Health

Custom charging limits (70-100%) help extend battery lifespan and reduce degradation over time.

Smart Tech That Elevates Every Ride

Offline Navigation

Import GPX/FIT/TCX routes into the Avinox Ride app and sync them directly to the bike’s display. Once loaded, the bike navigates independently—no phone required.

New Amflow PX Carbon Series Avinox M2S Motor Unveiled

Amflow PX Carbon Series: Everything You Need to Know About the New Avinox M2S Motor

Smaller, Lighter Battery |  More Range | More Power | More Fun

Shop Amflow at Wheelbase.co.uk

Every so often, an electric mountain bike launch lands with enough force to shift the entire category. For 2027, that bike is the Amflow PX Carbon. With a completely redesigned chassis, a next‑generation battery system and the debut of the Avinox M2S motor, the PX Carbon series isn’t just an update — it’s a statement of intent.

This is the lightest, quietest and most powerful full‑power e‑MTB Amflow has built, and it’s already being talked about as one of the most important electric mountain bike launches of the year.

Launch highlights:

  • 150 Nm peak torque (23% more than the previous gen)
  • 1500 W peak power with a tuneable 10–60 sec Boost Mode
  • 130 Nm sustained torque for long, steep climbs
  • 3.18 kg battery weight — over 1 kg lighter than some rivals
  • 2.59kg M2S Drive Unit
  • 45 dB noise output — one of the quietest full‑power motors
  • Dual‑engagement helical gears for smoother pickup
  • More cooling fins for better heat management

The M2S is arguably the most powerful lightweight full‑power e‑MTB motor on the market.

New 700 Wh Battery With Bigger Real‑World Range

Amflow’s redesigned battery platform delivers more range from a smaller, lighter unit.

What’s new:

  • 21% smaller than the old 800 Wh battery
  • 20% higher energy density — industry‑leading
  • Up to 144 km range (test conditions)
  • Faster charging: PX Carbon: 80% in 1 hr 16 min
  • Reduced drivetrain friction thanks to new SRAM tech

You get more range, less weight and faster charging — a rare combination in full‑power e‑MTBs

New Display, Navigation & Connectivity

Touchscreen Control System

The PX introduces Amflow’s smartest cockpit yet, centred around a responsive touchscreen display and deep integration with the Avinox Ride App.

Smart Offline Navigation

  • Import routes from third‑party apps
  • Convert historical tracks into GPX/FIT/TCX
  • Sync routes with one tap
  • Navigate without a phone connection
  • Real‑time turn‑by‑turn guidance
  • Off‑course alerts

You can finally leave your phone in your pocket and still enjoy full navigation.

Smart Heart Rate Control

Set a target heart‑rate zone, pair a monitor, and the system automatically adjusts motor output to keep you in the optimal zone — ideal for training, pacing or managing fatigue on long rides.

Smart Companion

From ride data to system diagnostics, the PX integrates seamlessly into your daily riding routine, offering convenience and intelligence at every turn.

Lighter, Quieter, More Adjustable Frame

The PX Carbon chassis has been refined for better handling and more tuning options.

What’s new:

  • 20 kg total weight (PX Carbon & PX Carbon Pro)
  • 41% less motor drag
  • <45 dB noise output (down from 48dB)
  • 40‑point geometry adjustment
  • Adjustable chainstays, linkage flip chips and headset cups
  • Mullet setup as standard, with full 29er compatibility
  • Slimmer downtube fits the largest possible battery

The PX Carbon rides like a lightweight trail bike — but climbs like a full‑power machine.

Versatile Geometry to Conquer Any Terrain

Amflow has introduced one of the most adjustable geometry systems in the category.

What’s new:

  • 5 head‑tube angle positions
  • 2 bottom‑bracket height settings
  • 4 chainstay length options
  • Up to 40 total geometry combinations

This progressive system allows riders to fine‑tune the PX for steep enduro lines, fast flow trails, long climbs or all‑day adventure riding. It’s a bike built for riders who love the art of setup — and the freedom to adapt their ride to any terrain.

The Avinox M2S Motor: A New Benchmark for Full‑Power e‑MTBs

Engineered in Every Detail

  • Max Torque: 150 Nm
  • Peak Power: 1500 W
  • M2S Drive Unit Weight: 2.59 kg

The Avinox M2S Drive Unit delivers a huge leap in performance while remaining incredibly compact. Compared to the previous generation, power density increases by 45.9% and torque density by 21.6%, giving riders more output from a smaller, lighter package.

Surging Power, Naturally Refined

Power delivery is where the M2S truly stands out. Multiple high‑precision sensors and intelligent algorithms constantly adjust output in real time, creating a natural, linear pedalling feel that avoids the abrupt surges common in older systems.

  • Auto Mode adapts assistance based on terrain and rider position
  • Boost Mode unleashes full power instantly — 150 Nm and 1500 W — for steep climbs or technical bursts

The result is a drive system that feels intuitive, predictable and incredibly capable.

 

How the M2S compares to other leading motors

• Avinox M2S: 150 Nm / 1500 W
• Avinox M1 (previous gen): 120 Nm / 1300 W
• Specialized S‑Works: 111 Nm / 850 W
• Bosch CX: 100 Nm / 750W

It’s clear: the M2S now sits at the top of the lightweight full‑power e‑MTB class.

Full‑Power Performance Without the Weight Penalty

One of the biggest achievements of the PX Carbon series is how it blends full‑power output with lightweight handling.
At 20 kg, both the PX Carbon and PX Carbon Pro undercut many competitors while still delivering the torque and range expected from a full‑power system.

For context, the Specialized Levo’s motor weighs 4.38 kg — more than a kilogram heavier than the M2S. That difference is immediately noticeable on the trail. The PX Carbon accelerates faster, changes direction more willingly and feels more natural when the power is off, giving riders the best of both worlds: full‑power climbing and lightweight descending.

700 Wh Battery: Custom Cells, Higher Output

  • Rated Capacity: 700 Wh
  • Charge Cycles: 500
  • Battery Weight: 3.18 kg

The PX’s custom‑cell battery platform delivers high output with impressive efficiency. It supports super‑fast charging, allowing riders to top up during breaks and eliminate range anxiety on big days out.

Charge Fast, Ride Free

With 3× super‑fast charging, the PX can be recharged rapidly between rides — ideal for back‑to‑back laps, long weekends or multi‑stage adventures.

Smarter Tech: Navigation, Connectivity and Customisation

The PX Carbon series introduces a completely redesigned display system with a focus on navigation and connectivity. Full mapping and turn‑by‑turn navigation are now built in, with seamless Komoot integration for route uploads. Riders can customise the display layout, colours and data fields, and PX models include a SIM card for connected features such as live tracking and over‑the‑air updates.

PX Carbon vs PX Carbon Pro: Which One Is Right for You?

Both PX models share the same frame, motor and battery platform, but the builds cater to different riders.
