Difference 3: Components
The components on enduro and all-mountain bikes vary from model to model but tend to be fairly comparable, though there are a few places where they differ. Because enduro bikes are built for the descent, the components on enduro bikes tend to be more focused on durability in order to survive the hits that invariably come with descending at speed. All-mountain bikes, however, because they are designed to be an all-rounder, still pay attention to the weight of components to help the bikes climb more efficiently.
In terms of the electric systems used in each type of bike, because enduro bikes are less concerned with weight, many enduro e-bikes have heavier and thus more powerful motors in order to help riders up ascents. While this will vary from brand to brand, many all-mountain eMTBs have a more discrete electric system to save weight and give riders just a small boost. In Amflow’s PL Carbon and PL Carbon Pro, we deploy DJI’s pioneering Avinox Drive Unit, which features a compound planetary gearset with an industry-leading power-to-size ratio. With 105Nm max torque and a peak power of 850w, we don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that we put a motor with the power of an e-enduro bike onto an all-mountain geometry – with incredible results…
