Amflow has unveiled the TL Carbon, a new electric mountain bike that tries to be a trail toy, a cargo hauler, and a daily commuter without looking like a compromise. The headline numbers are hard to ignore: a DJI Avinox M2 drive unit, an 800 Wh removable battery, an optional 480 Wh range extender, and a carbon frame that weighs just 2.9 kg.
That mix puts the Amflow TL Carbon squarely in the growing class of premium e-MTBs that are chasing range, low weight, and software smarts at the same time. The catch, as always, is that the most versatile bikes tend to become the most expensive ones, and Amflow is keeping the price under wraps for now.
DJI Avinox M2 drive unit and battery options
At the center of the TL Carbon is the DJI Avinox M2 motor, rated at up to 125 Nm of torque and 1,100 W of peak power. Amflow says the bike is powered by an 800 Wh battery, while a 480 Wh add-on pack is available for longer rides. That is a sensible setup for riders who want a single bike to cover technical trails and weekend distance without babysitting the battery meter.
For context, the e-bike race has been shifting toward more powerful drive systems and smarter battery management, especially in the premium mountain-bike segment. DJI has already pushed into this space with its Avinox platform, and Amflow is clearly leaning on that momentum rather than pretending this is a stripped-back, lightweight niche build.
Fox suspension and a 2.9 kg carbon frame
The frame is one of the bike’s biggest calling cards. At 2.9 kg, it helps keep the full bike weight to 22.6 kg, which is respectable given the battery size and motor hardware. Amflow pairs that chassis with FOX suspension, offering 120 mm of travel up front and 105 mm at the rear.
There are also multiple wheel setups: 27.5-inch, 29-inch, and mixed-wheel configurations. That makes the TL Carbon easier to tailor to riding style, whether the goal is tighter handling on trails or a more stable feel on rougher terrain.
Cargo capacity and smart features
Amflow is also pitching the TL Carbon as a practical bike, not just a mountain machine. Maximum load is listed at 200 kg, with a rear rack rated for 27 kg and an optional front rack that can carry up to 20 kg. That makes the ”everyday use” claim a little less marketing fluff and a little more believable.
The bike supports the Avinox Ride app, which can adjust assist automatically based on the rider’s heart rate, work with Apple Find My, provide offline navigation, and integrate with DJI Osmo Action cameras. The TL Carbon is also the first Amflow bike to get Avinox SmoothShift, an electronic drivetrain system co-developed with TRP that briefly reduces motor output during shifts to make gear changes smoother and reduce drivetrain stress.
Availability and pricing
Amflow says worldwide sales will begin later this year, but it has not announced pricing. That omission is doing a lot of work here, because the TL Carbon’s spec sheet reads like a serious premium product and those rarely arrive cheap. The real question is whether Amflow can turn a very ambitious feature list into something riders will actually buy, or whether this ends up as another impressive e-bike that mostly wins spec-sheet comparisons.
