New Avinox update brings 1,000W power to more ride modes, up to 60 seconds Boost and more
DJI's e-bike system brand has unveiled some big upgrades in its latest firmware update
Avinox, the e-bike motor system brand of DJI fame has announced a rollout of several firmware updates that will bring more power and a "suite of intelligent features" to customers.
- New firmware boosts DJI's Avinox motor to 1000W of max power

The headline numbers include the increase to 1,000 watt peak power in more modes than early May's firmware update brought, Boost mode extension to up to 60 seconds, and a Quick Start function. But let's dive into the details.
More power in more modes
While the debate surrounding maximum power outputs rages on in and out of the bike industry, Avinox continues to press on with its firmware updates rolling more power out to more people.
The new update includes the ability to increase the peak power of Avinox powered bikes to 1,000W in Auto, Trail and Turbo modes. The adjustable assistance range within Turbo and Trail have also been increased so riders can modify each mode more specifically.
Ferdinand Wolf, Product Experience Director of Avinox commented on the power update, and said, ""With our 2025 firmware releases, we're not just increasing the adjustable peak power—we're giving riders more freedom to shape how their drive system behaves.
“These updates reflect our commitment to delivering meaningful innovations that enhance performance, protect components, and make the ride feel more intuitive, responsive, and personalized.”
More boost and faster starts
In addition to more power, users can now benefit from longer Boost mode activation which is now adjustable from 10 to 60 seconds. The benefit of this? You can beat your mate in a sprint or get up that technical climb a bit easier.
A Quick Start function has also been included in the latest update, which Avinox says allows the motor to "respond more rapidly when pedaling begins."
Further updates include more control with assist levels, with something called Real-Time Tune. Essentially, riders can use wireless controllers to adjust the assistance levels within the current mode whilst riding.
You can also hide, rename and reorder modes within the control display.
Further external compatibility
Looking outside of the Avinox system, the new upgrade brings compatibility with SRAM's SmoothShift tech. If you're running a SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission derailleur, this means gear shifting can be done when coasting via the AXS controller.
And when a gear shift is detected, the motor reduces the torque output to help protect the chain - although this needs to be enabled manually for it to work.
Within the 'control centre', riders can now record ride data, monitor the bike's status and manage accessories directly from the display rather than through the Avinox Ride App.
And finally, battery charge thresholds can now be adjusted so you can choose how much your bike charges to (for example, 70%, 80%, 95% or 100%) when plugged in. This can help to balance your e-bike's battery life and the range you need from the battery.
In order to download the update, users will need to install the new Avinox Ride App (version 1.3.3) on either an iOS or Android device. For more information, visit the Avinox website.
