Aventon has been making affordable city and hybrid bikes for years, but with the release of the Current, look to be going all in one ...

With a mixed carbon/aluminum frame, premium components, and a powerful custom motor, the Aventon Current EXP enters the full-suspension eMTB category with an unusually strong value proposition and a super fun ride experience. The Aventon Current looks ready to shake up the eMTB landscape. There’s no shortage of full-power, full-suspension options these days, but Aventon’s
Excellent motor performance. Strong power, smooth engagement, and enough control to handle varied trail situations confidently. Boost mode is a nice bonus, but even the standard settings already feel plenty capable.
Excellent handling. The Current strikes a nice balance between stability and playfulness. Its geometry, full 29” wheel setup, and mixed-frame construction help it feel confident with most trail scenarios.
One of the best eMTB values out there. Mixed carbon/aluminum frame, electronic SRAM shifting, Maven brakes, touchscreen display, ACU features, and strong motor performance, the value is hard to ignore.
Great braking power/performance. One of the more powerful brakes out there let you push the bike hard with a great counterbalance in place.
Advanced security features with 4g connectivity. GPS tracking, geofencing, alarms for unusual activity, etc. Uncommon amount of security on an eMTB.
Nice suspension. The RockShox Lyrik Select fork and Super Deluxe Select+ shock strike a good balance between plushness and support. It’s a comfortable and capable setup that should work well for most trail riders.
Great range and hill-climbing power. Excellent numbers across our standardized testing.
PAS controller buttons are pretty stiff and gave me a couple of missfires.
Non-removable battery. Not uncommon on eMTBs, but this would be a great wishlist item for the next generation.

Aventon has, by volume, made an absolute ton of e-bikes, but, up until now, none of them have been full suspension mountain bikes. The brand cemented itself as a player in the e-mobility space, with a lineup of commuter, cargo, and fat e-bikes. The Current shouldn’t come as a surprise though, given that Aventon recently announced its sponsorship of freeride legend Brett Tippie. What is a bit surprising though, is how well—on paper at least—the brand’s first foray into e-MTBs meets the current moment. Aventon Current EXP Details, Travel: 140 mm (rear) 150 mm (front), Wheel Size: 29”, Size Tested: Large, Build Tested: EXP, Head Tube Angle: 64.6°, Motor: Aventon Ultro X (850W power, 120Nm Torque), Battery: 800 Wh, Measured Weight: 53.37 lbs (24.21 kg), MSRP: $5,999, One of the themes of this review is that in some ways the Current is a fairly “average” bike in relation to the market, while in others it's a major outlier. The info block above is a great example. The weight, geometry, and suspension numbers all feel like really safe bets—stick the top 20 most popular e-bikes into a spreadsheet, average them out, and you have something similar to the Current. But the price and the motor stats for that price are major outliers. The Current is downright affordable in today's market, and very powerful, rivaling the S-Works motors in Specialized’s current lineup for almost a third of the price. And that’s for the top-end carbon front triangle, aluminum rear Current EXP. The all-alloy Current ADV is $1,400 less. So, my big question going into my time on the Current was “what compromise, if any, does it make to hit those stats?”, Luckily I’ve had a few weeks of rallying the Current hard on my home trails to form a solid answer to that question.

Aventon’s new Current full-suspension E-MTB combines a punchy motor and smart tuning with trail-ready handling—and starting at $4,599, it’s priced to challenge far costlier bikes.

The new Aventon Current EXP is an affordable, full-suspension, full-power eMTB that is ready to shred your favorite trails.

Written Review The first time I went to the Sea Otter Classic (USA’s premier cycling festival and trade-show), Aventon was being repped by a PR agency, didn’t have a dedicated booth, and unless you were an e-bike geek that focused on lifestyle commuter and cruiser ebikes, you didn’t even know Aventon was there. Every year […]
The Aventon Current (which comes in 2 different build options) is Aventon's first full-suspension eMTB, and the bike is impressively spec'd: a carbon front triangle, 140/150mm RockShox suspension, a wireless 12-speed SRAM S1000 drivetrain, and Aventon's brand new 120Nm | 850 watt Ultro X mid-drive motor - all at $5,999.
The Current EXP rides better than I expected it would. Aventon did a great job with the geometry - the 64.6° head tube angle gives you real confidence on descents, the 76.6° seat tube angle keeps you in a good climbing position, and the 475.3mm reach on the large feels dialed in for trail riding.
With a carbon front triangle, this bike comes in just under 53 lbs. There isn't currently a full-priced eMTB with this high quality spec at this price point.
We only have a few small complaints (we'd have more if this was a $10K bike, but it's hard to knock the Current EXP at such a great price): I think the EXO-casing Maxxis tires are a little light for an eMTB, so I'd recommend adding some Tannus Armor to prevent rim dings and pinch flats.

The Current EXP is Aventon’s entry into the full-suspension segment. On test, this eMTB comes with a powerful motor, strong tech features and an attractive price, but it also has some clear weaknesses.
Powerful motor
Lively and full of drive on easier climbs
Well-executed display with strong app connectivity
Accessible and straightforward on easy trails
Suspension lacks reserves and support on rough trails
Loud on descents
Nervous handling on rough trails

The Current is available in both an EXP and ADV configuration ranging from $4,599 to $5,999, making it one of the most accessible eMTBs for a wide variety of riders.
