When mountain bikes first went electric almost a decade ago, the impact and emotions mirrored Bob Dylan going electric in the 60s: Initial shock quickly gave way to curiosity and a dawning realization that a genius innovation had changed our culture forever\u2014be it rock n\u2019 roll or bike riding.<\/p>\n
Every revolution has leaders, and in the case of e-bikes you can count Aventon among the key pioneers. The company has been there since the beginning, expanding the possibilities of our singletrack adventures with e-bikes that bring singular vision, quality, and performance.<\/p>\n
Why is Aventon\u2019s Current line of e-bikes so good? Advancements in battery life, motors, and design have enabled a technological leap forward. These bikes open entire swaths of terrain to a broader set of people, keeping everyone active, outside, and engaged with both a rich adventure sport and nature itself\u2014all through the freedom and thrill you can only get on two wheels.<\/p>\nCurrent EXP<\/span> (Photo: Aventon)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nEasier, Faster, Farther<\/b><\/h2>\n All Aventon Current models feature an Ultro X motor and 800Wh integrated battery with up to a 105-mile range on a single charge. Translation: Climbs are easier and faster, enabling you to gobble up more trails and thrilling downhill runs in a fraction of the time it would take on an analog bike. This expanded range and added power acts like a time machine in the best way. Now far-flung trailheads and life-list rides lie within your grasp even when you\u2019ve only got an afternoon to spare.<\/p>\n
On big rides, you also get a leg up on the bugbear even the most badass cyclists can\u2019t beat: fatigue. The intelligent assist helps keep your legs fresh while reducing strain on joints, hips, and back. You can fine-tune assist levels and pedal sensitivity via wireless, top tube-mounted or integrated top tube display.<\/p>\nCurrent LTD<\/span> (Photo: Aventon)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nPower Through Performance<\/b><\/h2>\n Regardless of your riding level, you\u2019ll see your on-trail performance spike with the mid-drive Ultro X motor at your back. A boost mode offers up to 850 watts and 120Nm of torque in boost mode, delivering precise, punchy acceleration from a standstill and smooth momentum as you whip through changing grades on long grinds. Internal torque sensors respond to your pedaling, making the bike feel like an extension of your own body no matter which assist setting you choose (Auto, Eco, Trail, Turbo, and Boost). Boost is especially fun, offering a 60-second buff to help you blast through cruxy bits, Mario-style.<\/p>\n
A longer wheelbase and smart, do-it-all body geometry (140mm travel, 150mm fork, 29-inch wheels, 64.6-degree head, 76.6-degree seat) plants you to the dirt, offering an exceptional balance between agility and stability to tackle rooty tracks, tricky rock gardens, and steep hairpins.<\/p>\n
The ACU Smart Bike ecosystem lets you get into the weeds for customizing everything from pedal sensitivity to power output and overrun, either onscreen or via the app. Get granular to dial in and edit your preferences\u2014or coast on the ride tuneable Auto, which offers a balance of assist and performance for most people. A big bonus for stat freaks: The Current tracks basically any metric you could desire, from GPS data to jump tracking to ride recording. It\u2019s also 4G enabled, meaning you can track your bike, install geofencing, or even update it in the field.<\/p>\nCurrent ADV<\/span> (Photo: Aventon)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u2018Is That An Aventon?\u2019<\/b><\/h2>\n With the Current line, Aventon doesn\u2019t just improve performance with a seriously powerful motor, premium build quality, and flexible-yet-intuitive features. The brand also does it at a price point nearly half that of any reasonably comparable models. Within that range ($3,999-$7,999) you\u2019ll find three trims to suit any rider. All feature the same Aventon Ultro X motor and ACU Smart Ecosystem core, but they differ slightly in components and style. Here\u2019s how to choose.<\/p>\n
