Aventon made its name on hub motor bikes for pavement, so a full suspension enduro bike with a SRAM Eagle Transmission is a big swing. The Aventon Current ADV is that bike: 150mm of fork travel, 140mm in the rear, an Ultro X mid-drive Aventon rates at 110 Nm, and an 800 Wh battery. I haven’t ridden it. Everything here comes from Aventon’s official product page and policies, rechecked on Oct 27, 2026, and from the Aventon mountain bike I have tested. I mark my own math as mine.
Should you buy one?
The Current ADV costs $3,999 (as of Oct 27, 2026), and every size and color showed in stock on Aventon’s site that day. For that, Aventon lists the Ultro X mid-drive at 110 Nm (120 Nm in Boost), an 800 Wh battery, a RockShox Psylo Gold fork with 150mm of travel, a RockShox Deluxe Select+ shock with 140mm of rear travel, SRAM’s Eagle 70 Transmission 12 speed, SRAM DB8 Stealth brakes with 200mm rotors at both ends, Maxxis tubeless ready tires, an X Fusion dropper and a 4G connected system with GPS tracking.
The trade-offs: the 300 lb total limit is lower than many commuter e-bikes, the connected features need a paid 4G subscription after the first year, and $3,999 is a big step up from Aventon’s hub motor bikes. It’s also the entry model of three: Aventon lists the Current EXP at $5,999 and the Current LTD at $7,999 (both as of Oct 27, 2026).
The motor
A mid-drive drives the cranks, so the motor works through the bike’s gears. On steep, technical climbs that’s the big advantage over a hub motor: you can drop into a low gear and the motor stays in its efficient range. Aventon lists the Ultro X at 110 Nm and up to 450% support, rising to 120 Nm and 600% in Boost mode, with 750W peak power or 850W in Boost. There’s also an Auto Assist mode, and Ride Tune in the app lets you adjust how the motor responds. The bike is Class 1 out of the box, which is the class most trails allow, and Aventon says it can be converted to Class 3. Check the rules where you ride with our e-bike laws hub before changing anything.
For comparison, the Aventon Ramblas I tested is a mid-drive hardtail that lists 100 Nm and 750W peak at 56 lb. The Current ADV adds rear suspension at the same listed weight. Aventon weighs it at 56 lb in size Medium, without pedals and with tubes installed, so expect a little more once it’s set up tubeless with pedals.
Battery and range
The 800 Wh battery weighs 9.2 lb on its own, and the 42V 4A charger fills it in about 6 hours by Aventon’s figure. Aventon rates the range at up to 105 miles, and its footnote explains why that number is so high: it’s for a 165 lb rider on a paved, flat road in Eco with Ride Tune at defaults. Real trail riding, with climbing and higher assist, will be far lower. I’d plan rides on the assumption of a fraction of that number until you’ve learned how the battery drains on your own climbs.
Suspension, brakes and tires
The Psylo Gold fork and Deluxe Select+ shock are real trail parts from RockShox, and Aventon says the frame works with forks from 140 to 160mm, though it warns against coil shocks. The shock size is 210 x 55mm.
The brakes are SRAM DB8 Stealth hydraulic brakes on 200mm rotors front and rear, large rotors that help with heat on long descents. The Ramblas I tested runs 200mm front and 180mm rear. The tires are Maxxis Minion DHF 29 x 2.5 in up front and Minion DHR II 29 x 2.4 in at the rear, a common aggressive trail pairing, and both are tubeless ready.
The drivetrain
SRAM’s Eagle 70 Transmission is the headline part. It’s a 12 speed with a 10 to 52T cassette and a 34T chainring, and Transmission derailleurs mount straight to the frame instead of hanging from a separate derailleur hanger. SRAM sells that design as tougher against rock strikes. The cranks are 160mm, shorter than many bikes, which helps clear rocks and roots when you pedal through rough ground. The dropper is an X Fusion Manic with 150mm of travel on S and M, and 170mm on L and XL.
Geometry and fit
Aventon lists a 64.3 degree head angle on Small and 64.6 degrees on Medium through Extra Large, a 76.6 degree seat angle and 445mm chainstays. That’s slack and stable, the shape of a bike built for descending. Reach runs 425.5, 450.4, 475.3 and 500.2mm across Small through XL, with wheelbase from 1,196mm to 1,288mm and stack from 611mm to 648mm.
The fit numbers don’t all line up on Aventon’s page. The spec table gives a rider range of 5’3” to 6’1”, but the size chart lists Small at 5’3” to 5’7”, Medium at 5’7” to 6’1”, and Large for riders over 6’1”, and gives no range for XL. If you’re over 6’1”, I’d ask Aventon which size to get before ordering, and compare the reach numbers against a bike you already ride.
The connected features
The Current ADV has a touchscreen display, Aventon’s wireless control pad and a 4G connection with GPS tracking and an alarm. Aventon lists Wheel Lift Control, jump tracking (Aventon calls it Air Time), Overrun and anti theft tools, plus information sync and geofencing. Aventon includes the 4G subscription free for the first year from service registration. After that, a paid subscription is required to keep those features. Aventon’s page doesn’t list the price, so ask before you count on them.
Weight limits and water
Aventon rates the bike for 300 lb total, rider plus gear. At 6’1” and about 200 lb myself, I’d have about 100 lb left for a pack, water and tools, which is plenty for trail riding. A heavier rider should check that number first. The bike is rated IPX6 and the motor IP67.
Warranty and returns
Aventon gives a two year warranty. Its return policy has tiers: an unused bike within 14 days comes back with no restocking fee, though shipping is deducted. A used bike within 30 days and under 20 miles carries a 50% fee, and an unused bike after 14 days carries a 20% fee. Read the policy before your first ride, because riding it once changes what a return costs.
How it compares
Against the Ramblas, the Current ADV is the bigger trail bike: rear suspension, slacker geometry, more torque, a larger battery and 200mm rotors at both ends, at the same listed 56 lb. If you mostly ride smooth singletrack or fire roads, a hardtail does a lot with less to maintain.
Against the Aventon Aventure 3, which I filmed, these are different bikes. The Aventure 3 is a fat tire hub motor bike with 80 Nm and a 400 lb limit at 76 lb, built for comfort on mixed terrain. When I rode it, I had plenty of power at 6’1” and about 200 lb. The Current ADV is lighter, made for technical trails, and asks you to be a mountain biker.
FAQ
Have I ridden the Current ADV?
No. This page is built from Aventon’s official product page and policies, and from the Aventon bikes I have tested.
Is it allowed on trails?
It ships as a Class 1 e-bike, which many trail systems allow. Rules vary, so check the trail before you ride.
How far does it go?
Aventon says up to 105 miles, but that’s for a 165 lb rider in Eco on a flat, paved road. On trails it will be much less.
Do the smart features cost extra?
The first year of 4G is free. After that, Aventon says a paid subscription is required for the connected features.
Pros and cons (from the specs)
Pros: 110 Nm mid-drive with Boost; 800 Wh battery; RockShox suspension front and rear; SRAM Eagle 70 Transmission; 200mm rotors at both ends; tubeless ready Maxxis tires; Class 1 out of the box; two year warranty.
Cons: 300 lb limit; 4G features need a paid subscription after year one; unclear sizing for riders over 6’1”; $3,999; tiered return fees once ridden.
Who it’s for
The Current ADV makes sense for mountain bikers who want a full suspension e-bike with RockShox and SRAM parts, and riders moving up from a hardtail. Look elsewhere if you weigh close to 300 lb with gear, mostly ride pavement or gravel, or don’t want an ongoing subscription.
