The PX Carbon Pro marks a significant expansion for AMFLOW, a brand still finding their feet in a crowded market. Their origins are closely tied to the Avinox motor system, developed under DJI before the rebrand, with AMFLOW operating as the in-house bike brand despite maintaining a formally independent identity. Their debut centred on a single model built around the original M1 drive; the arrival of the more powerful Avinox M2 and M2S has prompted a broader portfolio push. Alongside the PX, a new PR model targets a distinct rider profile with a removable battery and a less downhill-oriented specification.
The PX Carbon Pro, on the other hand, clearly leans toward trail and enduro performance. The permanently-integrated 700 Wh battery allows for an extremely slim downtube and contributes to the bike’s clean look. Power comes from the new M2S motor system, which sets new benchmarks with up to 150 Nm torque and 1500 watts of power. Despite these brutal performance figures, the bike weighs just 21.4 kg, making it one of the lightest in its class. It runs a mullet setup with 160 mm travel at the front and 150 mm at the rear. Retailing at € 9,999, the PX Carbon Pro is the flagship model in the AMFLOW range, and lands almost exactly at the midpoint of the comparison test field on price.
The AMFLOW PX Carbon Pro in Detail
AMFLOW have paid close attention to the details on the PX Carbon Pro. All cables enter the carbon frame through dedicated ports, routed cleanly without external clamping. There were no rattles, no unwanted movement, nothing to complain about during testing.
To protect the frame, AMFLOW use a plastic downtube protector, a generously sized chainstay protector, and a small fender above the main pivot to prevent dirt and grime from accumulating there. The top tube features a tool mount, and AMFLOW include a transparent frame protection film as standard. The extent of that film’s coverage remains unspecified, and it is worth confirming exactly which areas are protected before publication.
All cables enter the frame through dedicated ports, routed cleanly without external clamping. This ensures a clean look and a quiet ride even on rougher trails.
The Spec of the AMFLOW PX Carbon Pro
At first glance, the spec of the AMFLOW PX Carbon Pro is a true high-end package – with a strong focus on integration. At the heart of it sits an Avinox M2S motor system with a permanently integrated 700 Wh battery. With the PX Carbon, you also have the option of a “range extender,” which is still rather rudimentary. This is simply another 600 Wh battery, mounted to the downtube with a bracket and considerably bulkier and heavier than the range extenders most rivals offer.
The integrated head light is a useful detail and super practical in everyday use, but unfortunately, the cables rattle heavily against the light.
The MAGURA GUSTAV Pro brakes are extremely bulky and fall short on both braking power and ergonomics.
The cockpit features a wireless remote on each side, and the 2″ OLED touchscreen display is neatly integrated into the top tube and remains easy to read even in strong sunlight. Together with the Avinox Ride app, which is currently one of the most comprehensive and user-friendly apps on the market, and the integrated nano SIM card in the display, you get a huge range of adjustment options and additional features. A large front light connects directly to the Avinox system, a useful feature when rides run long. Less welcome is the cable rattle against the light housing, which becomes a persistent presence on trail. The Avinox system also supports fast charging, bringing the 700 Wh battery from flat to full in 1 h 47 min. The rattling cables aside, the system feels tightly integrated, and the slim silhouette contributes to a notably clean overall appearance.
For suspension, AMFLOW turn to FOX’s Factory range at both ends. A FOX 36 Factory with GRIP X2 damper cartridge handles 160 mm of travel at the front; a FOX FLOAT X Factory shock manages 150 mm at the rear. The adjustment range on both units is extensive, and the overall package suits the bike’s sporty character. The MAGURA GUSTAV Pro four-piston brakes with 203 mm rotors front and rear are a different story. Powerful in appearance, they fell short on outright braking performance during testing, and the lever ergonomics are a limitation for riders who prefer a closer grip position. On the plus side, MAGURA offers a range of aftermarket brake pads with different compounds. Riders looking for more bite and a more direct braking feel can easily and effectively upgrade the brake’s performance with a simple pad swap.
Shifting is taken care of by a SRAM X0 Eagle AXS Transmission drivetrain, which draws its power directly from the main battery. Under load, the shifting is excellent and well matched to the powerful drivetrain. Like Specialized, AMFLOW lean heavily on in-house components, though the execution does not yet consistently match that ambition. The in-house dropper post offers 190 mm of travel, sits fully within the frame and can be adjusted in 5 mm increments up to 25 mm via spacers. In practice, however, it operates slowly and inconsistently. One test bike showed significant wear after extended use in muddy conditions, eventually failing at around 2,000 km. Smaller details, cable clamping among them, feel similarly unresolved.
Apart from the rattling cables, the Avinox system is very coherently integrated and, together with the slim frame silhouette, ensures an extremely clean look.
The in-house AMFLOW cockpit consists of a 35 mm stem and 800 mm AMFLOW Enduro carbon handlebars. The wheels are also developed in-house: however, the AMFLOW XMC 30 carbon wheelset didn’t fully convince us during this test – despite the robust tire casing, two wheels broke straight away. For the tires, AMFLOW rely on a very suitable combination, with a Schwalbe Magic Mary Radial in SuperSoft compound and Trail casing at the front, and an Albert Radial in the Soft compound and robust Gravity casing at the rear. This fundamentally fits the bike’s intended use very well. You also get the new Schwalbe Clik valves right away. Geometry adjustability is also exciting: via headset cups and chainstay flip chip, a total of 40 different geometry configurations can be realized, and the PX Carbon can be ridden with a 27.5″ or 29″ rear wheel.
The in-house AMFLOW XMC 30 carbon rims didn’t fully convince us in this test: despite the robust tire casing, two wheels broke immediately – raising questions about long-term durability.

The AMFLOW PX Carbon Pro on the Trail
AMFLOW PX Carbon Pro Climbing Performance
Riding uphill, the AMFLOW PX Carbon Pro plays in a league of its own. The decisive difference compared to most other bikes in this test is the enormous ground speed generated by the M2S motor system. Especially in technical uphill sections, this means many obstacles are almost neutralized: whether steps, rocky climbing sections, or tight technical passages – often it is enough to stay committed and let the bike roll with speed. The PX Carbon Pro virtually flies over tricky sections, delivering impressively effortless performance.
In addition, there’s the low system weight, which is even more noticeable compared to the PR Carbon Pro – with a removable 800 Wh battery. The bike feels extremely light-footed uphill, can be lifted playfully over steps, and impresses with very good handling in technical sections. The pedalling position is pleasantly neutral – neither too long nor too cramped – and, together with the upright position, ensures plenty of comfort and a very short familiarization time. However, the comparatively high front can become slightly light on steep sections due to the enormous motor power and must be consciously weighted. The suspension is on the plush side uphill but doesn’t sink too deeply into its travel. Less pleasant is the rather low bottom bracket, which can lead to pedal strikes in some places despite the short cranks. The large 38T chainring initially feels unusual but is sensibly chosen due to the high motor power, as it keeps you more often in the mid gears, which can also benefit wear.
AMFLOW PX Carbon Pro Downhill Performance
Downhill, the AMFLOW PX Carbon Pro also clearly positions itself in the upper third of the test field. The low weight gives the bike a pleasantly light-footed ride feel, which is especially noticeable in technical terrain. Lines can be corrected quickly, it’s easy to find the right path through nasty rock gardens, and high lines or spontaneous direction changes succeed with little effort. The bike is easy to pull over edges and feels particularly agile in technical, playful terrain.
Composure is a strength of the PX Carbon Pro, which strikes a convincing balance between agility and stability. Flowing singletrack suits it best: the high front end gives the bike a lively, playful character that rewards an engaged rider. Against the most agile bikes in the test, however, it concedes ground. The suspension smooths out too much in places and lacks definition, keeping it behind bikes like the Specialized Levo R for outright responsiveness. At the rear, the shock runs soft through the mid-stroke before building sharp progression in the final third, a transition that tips into harshness. Greater mid-stroke support would improve precision on technical lines. The AMFLOW is not the most planted bike downhill, but it is fast, fun and more than capable on demanding trails.
The AMFLOW PX Carbon Pro virtually flies over tricky sections uphill and delivers impressively effortless performance when you stay committed on the throttle.
Who Is the AMFLOW PX Carbon Pro the Right eMTB For?
The AMFLOW PX Carbon Pro is aimed at riders looking for a modern, powerful eMTB with an extremely strong motor, successful integration, and great versatility. It’s particularly well suited to riders who want an intuitive bike that performs well both on long tours and technical trails while offering plenty of room for setup and customization. If you value easy handling, strong all-round characteristics, and a very modern system concept, you will find an exciting overall package here.
The Right Bike For:
The eMTB Trail Beginner
Even though the AMFLOW PX Carbon Pro is anything but cheap, it makes getting started surprisingly easy. It rides intuitively, quickly builds confidence, and offers enough adjustment options to grow with your skills.
The Adventurer
Anyone looking for a versatile eMTB for long tours, technical trails, and big rides will get a strong overall package with the PX Carbon Pro. Thanks to the massive range extender option, the bike can also be set up very well for extended adventures.
Not the Right Bike For:
Everyday Riders
Anyone who mainly rides on forest roads or commutes daily gets too much bike with the PX Carbon Pro. For such uses, the PR model with removable battery is the more practical and sensible choice.
Bargain Hunters
The PX Carbon Pro comes with expensive spec, lots of high-tech, and a good dose of bling. Those primarily focused on value for money will find more affordable alternatives in the test field – such as our Best Buy.
Conclusions About the AMFLOW PX Carbon Pro
The PX Carbon Pro makes a strong case for AMFLOW’s approach: a tightly integrated, low-weight e-MTB built around one of the most powerful motor systems in the test field. Uphill, that combination is hard to argue with. The ground speed on offer is exceptional, and the accessibility of that performance sets a high bar. Downhill, the bike is fast and entertaining, but the suspension tuning and in-house component quality hold it back from the top of the test. For riders who prioritise motor performance and system integration above all else, the PX Carbon Pro is a compelling, if not yet fully resolved, package.
