2025 Aventon

Aventure M

The A100 motor cranks out 100Nm of torque with a natural, bike-like feel that's way better than typical rear hub systems. Climbing hills becomes effortless with power delivery that feels intuitive instead of robotic.

Electronic shifting with Autoshift handles gear changes for you without any fuss or missed shifts. The Ride Tune app lets you dial in exactly how aggressive or smooth you want the power across all three assist modes.

I hit over 100 miles in real-world testing (avg 11-12 mph), crushing Aventon's 85-mile estimate by a wide margin. Even when pushing hard in Turbo mode, you'll still get a respectable 38 miles at an 18-19 mph average speed.

The ACU system keeps your bike connected with GPS tracking, remote locking, and geofencing that actually works. All this tech comes built into the proven Aventure platform that still handles 400 lbs and goes anywhere you point it.

Powerful pedal assist

Confidence-inspiring ride quality

Impressive tech features

Metal fenders can be noisy

Significantly more expensive than Aventure.3

Poor throttle performance

Strong motor performance. The motor is both powerful and has a natural feeling, and can be tuned to your preference.

Helpful tech. The ACU is a 4G-enabled suite of security features, including remote locking, tracking, and more. The bike also makes effective use of electronic and auto-shifting features.

Great comfort. Nice geo that’s conducive for offroading and pavement riding, plus a suspension fork and suspension seatpost.

Terrific range. The motor efficiently consumes battery life, and the Aventure M gave us one of our best ever Eco range results.

Sleek frame. The Aventure M is cleanly designed and the gravity cast frame both looks and feels good.

Unique capabilities. The fat tires and powerful mid-drive motor unlock a different type of exploring.

An optional throttle is available.

Less of a con and more of a wishlist item: a dropper post would have made this a great fat tire XC bike.

The shifter responds well to single clicks, but sometimes doesn’t register two or three rapid clicks (resulting in changing just one or two gears).
