Today, Amflow Bikes announces that it has stepped outside its usual eMTB territory to launch the TL Carbon. It’s apparently the first all-terrain touring e-bike powered by the Avinox system. And, Avinox would like you to think of it as an SUV on two wheels. Whether it’s mountain singletrack, city streets, or a loaded touring trip across multiple days, the TL Carbon is built to handle it.
At 22.6kg (49.8lbs ) total weight, the bike sits on the lighter end for an e-bike in this category. The full-carbon frame is a big factor in the total weight as it comes in at just 2.9kg (6.3lbs).
Suspension by FOX
The TL Carbon’s suspension setup was co-developed with FOX. It offers 120mm of front travel and 105mm of rear travel. Amflow says it’s tuned to match the bike’s weight distribution and load-carrying capacity.
“FOX is proud to support the launch of the new AMFLOW TL platform with our suspension technology,” said Adam Marriott, Senior Manager of Product Management at FOX. “The FOX AWL fork and FLOAT shock are optimized for the performance demands of the new Amflow TL platform, delivering a balanced combination of comfort, traction, and control. Designed to support the unique requirements of modern eSUV riding, the suspension package provides a capable and confidence-inspiring ride experience across a wide range of terrain”
In the Box
Out o’ the box, the TL Carbon comes with front and rear mudguards, a rear rack, water bottle cage, pedals, and both a headlight and taillight. There’s also optional front rack support for extra carrying capacity.
If you want to go full MTB and have a cleaner, more trail-focused setup, the racks and mudguards can be removed entirely, and the bike meets CAT-III mountain bike certification standards in that configuration.
Amflow TL Geometry Highlights
The TL Carbon is designed with comfortable handling in mind throughout different rider sizes and fitness levels. The geometry prioritizes utility without sacrificing maneuverability, which matters whether you’re navigating tight urban traffic or technical terrain.
- Adjustable head tube angle: the default 67° head tube angle can be slackened by 1 degree for descending confidence (with 29-inch wheel set up)
- Various bike setup configurations, including full 27.5 (standard), mullet, reverse mullet, and full 29er, with both the front and rear wheels can be switched from 27.5-inch to 29-inch to match different terrain needs
- Low standover and seat-height, supporting easy mounting and dismounting
- Approximately 100% anti-squat performance, effectively reducing pedaling energy loss and making the ride more stable

Built to Haul
The Amflow TL Carbon can carry up to 200kg (440lbs) total weight. That includes the bike, the front and rear rack loads, and the rider. The front rack is rated to carry up to 20kg (44lbs). While the rear rack can handle up to 27kg (59.5lbs)
Those are pretty impressive numbers that make this bike a bit of a workhorse across different types of rides. For long-distance touring, the bike’s modular mounting design and MIK HD-compatible rear rack allow riders to add panniers and a bike trailer. This adds to the TL Carbon’s versatility.
New from Avinox
The Amflow TL Carbon runs on the Avinox M2 motor. This motor puts out 125Nm of torque and 1,100W of peak power. That sure seems to be enough to handle steep climbs and longer rides without breaking a sweat. The motor uses a helical gear design that keeps things as quiet as a claimed 45dBA.
The TL Carbon’s battery options give riders a fair amount of flexibility. The bike ships with an 800Wh battery with a claimed 172km of range. There is also a 600Wh option that’s rated for 124km.
Both batteries are swappable to be paired with a new 480Wh secondary battery. This pushes the total capacity up to 1,280Wh while adding up to 100km of additional range. The frame uses a quick-release system that lets you pull the battery with one hand. Making it handy for off-bike charging or packing it up for travel.
Avinox is also rolling out a new charging hub that can charge up to four batteries one after another in a single session. This can make managing multiple batteries a lot less of a hassle for those longer adventures you may want to take.
Finally, there’s the Avinox SmoothShift Electronic Shifting system. Amflow teamed with TRP to develop the system. It reads your shift signals and moves through the cassette without requiring you to ease off the pedals. Paired with an Avinox-specific chain, the system manages torque during shifts to keep everything feeling smooth and controlled.
The new Amflow TL Carbon is a bike that will take you wherever you want, with battery and load capacity to make it happen. See the link below for more options
