Meet the Aventon Current ADV and Current EXP at Bike Attack Electric

Aventon is entering serious full-suspension electric mountain bike territory with the Aventon Current ADV and Aventon Current EXP, two trail-focused eMTBs built around powerful mid-drive assistance, long-travel suspension, 29-inch wheels, an integrated 800Wh battery, and Aventon’s increasingly sophisticated smart-bike technology.

For Southern California riders looking for an electric mountain bike in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Venice, Marina del Rey, Culver City or the greater LA area, the Current series brings something very different to the Aventon lineup.

These are not commuter e-bikes with mountain-bike styling.

The Current ADV and Current EXP are purpose-built full-suspension electric mountain bikes designed around real trail geometry, high-torque mid-drive power, long-travel suspension, wide-range drivetrains, aggressive Maxxis tires, dropper seatposts and trail-ready braking systems.

At Bike Attack Electric in Santa Monica, we strongly recommend experiencing a performance eMTB like the Aventon Current in person whenever possible.

A specification sheet can tell you how much torque a motor produces or how much suspension travel a bike has. It cannot tell you how the bike feels underneath you, how naturally the motor responds to your pedaling, whether the frame size feels right, or how confidently you can move around the bike.

That is why our preferred buying experience is simple:

Come to Bike Attack Electric, see the bike in person, take a test ride when available, choose the correct model and size, and pick up your Current professionally assembled and ready to ride.

Customers outside Southern California can also order online, but riders who can visit our Santa Monica location have the advantage of seeing, comparing and riding these sophisticated electric mountain bikes before deciding.

Aventon Current: Go With the Flow and Let the Current Lead the Way

The Current represents Aventon’s move into the full-suspension eMTB category.

Both Current models are centered around a capable trail platform with approximately:

• 140mm rear suspension travel
• 150mm front suspension travel
• 29-inch wheels
• Aventon Ultro X mid-drive motor
• 800Wh integrated battery
• Up to 105 miles of stated range
• Integrated touchscreen display
• GPS connectivity
• Anti-theft technology
• Anti-Wheelie functionality
• Jump Tracking
• Dropper seatpost
• Tubeless-compatible wheels
• Class 1 configuration with Class 3 conversion capability

The result is an e-bike platform designed to make climbing easier without removing the dynamic handling and rider input that make mountain biking enjoyable.

Whether your ride includes technical singletrack, steep fire roads, loose climbs, rocky terrain, flowing trails or long backcountry routes, the Current platform is designed to combine electric assistance with legitimate trail capability.

---

Aventon Ultro X Mid-Drive Motor: Serious Climbing Power

At the center of both Current models is Aventon’s Ultro X mid-drive motor.

The system delivers:

750W peak power
Up to 850W peak power in Boost Mode
110Nm of torque
Up to 120Nm in Boost Mode

That torque figure is especially important on an electric mountain bike.

Instead of simply producing speed on flat pavement, a trail-oriented mid-drive system needs to respond effectively when the rider is climbing steep terrain at lower speeds.

High torque can assist when climbing loose fire roads, negotiating steep pitches, restarting on an incline or maintaining momentum through technical terrain.

Aventon has also designed the Ultro X around a more customizable riding experience.

The Current includes:

Three customizable pedal-assist modes

Auto Mode

Boost Mode

Ride Tune functionality

Instead of giving every rider exactly the same predetermined motor behavior, Ride Tune allows the power delivery to be adjusted around the rider and terrain.

That can be particularly useful on an eMTB, where the amount and character of assistance you want while climbing may be very different from what you want through rolling terrain.

---

110Nm Normally, Up to 120Nm When You Need More

The Ultro X motor produces 110Nm of torque during normal operation, with up to 120Nm available in Boost Mode.

Boost is particularly relevant when approaching a short but exceptionally steep section where additional assistance can help maintain momentum.

The goal is not simply maximum power all the time.

A capable eMTB needs a balance between power and control.

Too much abrupt assistance can make technical riding harder. Properly managed torque can help a rider maintain traction and work through difficult climbs while still allowing precise input through the pedals.

---

Aventon Control Unit: The Current Is Also a Smart eMTB

One of the most interesting parts of the Aventon Current platform is not immediately visible in the drivetrain or suspension.

It is the Aventon Control Unit, or ACU.

The ACU functions as the electronic command center within Aventon’s Smart Bike Ecosystem.

On the Current platform, the system adds several features particularly relevant to mountain biking:

• Integrated GPS tracking
• Anti-theft technology
• Ride tracking
• Anti-Wheelie technology
• Jump Tracking
• Integrated touchscreen display
• Connected smart-bike functionality

The Current EXP documentation specifically lists the ACU's GPS, anti-theft, Anti-Wheelie, Jump Tracking and touchscreen functionality. Pasted text

---

Anti-Wheelie Technology for Steep Climbs

Anyone who rides steep terrain knows that an eMTB's power has to be controlled.

On very steep climbs, strong motor torque combined with rider input can cause the front wheel to become light.

Aventon’s Anti-Wheelie system is designed to help maintain front-wheel control and usable traction during climbing.

It is an example of how electronic systems on modern eMTBs are moving beyond basic pedal assistance and becoming part of the actual ride-control experience.

---

Jump Tracking for Riders Who Want More Ride Data

The ACU also incorporates Jump Tracking, providing data relating to jumps and airtime.

Not every Current rider will be chasing jumps, but the feature demonstrates that Aventon designed the electronics around actual mountain-bike use rather than simply adapting urban e-bike software to a mountain bike.

---

800Wh Battery for Long Trail Days

Both Current models use a substantial 800Wh integrated battery.

Aventon states a range of up to 105 miles / 168 kilometers, depending on riding conditions, assist use and the many other variables that affect real-world electric-bike range.

The Current EXP specification supplied to Bike Attack lists the same 800Wh battery, 42V/4A charger and maximum stated range. Pasted text

For mountain-bike riders, battery capacity matters differently than it does for commuters.

Climbing consumes significant energy.

Terrain changes constantly.

Riders may use relatively low assistance on flatter sections and much higher assistance during sustained climbs.

An 800Wh battery provides substantial capacity for riders planning longer trail networks, mountain climbs and extended recreational rides.

---

Aventon Current ADV: A Serious Full-Suspension eMTB Without Going Straight to the EXP Build

The Aventon Current ADV uses a 6061 aluminum frame and combines it with trail-oriented components chosen to create a highly capable full-suspension eMTB.

Key Current ADV specifications include:

---

RockShox 150mm Front / 140mm Rear Suspension

Suspension is what separates a real full-suspension mountain bike from an e-bike that simply looks rugged.

The Current ADV pairs a 150mm RockShox Psylo Gold fork with a RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock and approximately 140mm of rear-wheel travel.

That amount of travel puts the Current firmly into trail-bike territory.

The objective is to maintain tire contact and chassis control while moving through rocks, roots, braking bumps and rough descents.

Suspension also assists climbing by allowing the rear wheel to track uneven ground rather than bouncing over it.

---

SRAM Eagle 70 Transmission

The Current ADV uses a SRAM Eagle 70 Transmission 12-speed drivetrain paired with an 11-50T cassette and 34T chainring.

Wide gearing is especially important on an eMTB.

Although the motor contributes significant assistance, proper gearing still matters for cadence, motor efficiency, traction and technical climbing.

The Current ADV is therefore designed to operate as a real bicycle first—with electric assistance layered into the riding experience.

---

SRAM DB8 Stealth Brakes and 200mm Rotors

A bike capable of climbing rapidly also needs to descend confidently.

The Current ADV uses SRAM DB8 Stealth hydraulic brakes at both ends combined with large 200mm SRAM Centerline brake rotors.

Large rotors increase leverage and heat-management capacity, important on longer or steeper descents where an eMTB’s additional mass puts greater demand on the braking system.

---

Aventon Current EXP: The Premium Current

For riders wanting the more premium version of the platform, Aventon offers the Current EXP.

While the ADV already provides the fundamental Current architecture, the EXP upgrades several important areas.

The biggest distinction begins with the frame.

The Current EXP uses a carbon front triangle combined with a 6061 aluminum rear triangle rather than the ADV’s full-aluminum construction. The resulting Current EXP weighs approximately 53 lbs. / 24 kg. Pasted text

That makes it approximately three pounds lighter than the Current ADV specification supplied to us.

On a mountain bike, those pounds are meaningful not merely when lifting the bicycle but also when changing direction and moving the bike underneath the rider on technical terrain.

---

Current EXP Suspension Upgrade

The EXP moves up to a:

RockShox Lyrik Select 150mm fork

paired with a:

RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ rear shock

Aventon's EXP specifications identify the Lyrik Select 150mm fork with 44mm offset and the Super Deluxe Select+ 210x55 shock. Pasted text

It retains the Current platform’s balanced 140mm rear / 150mm front suspension configuration.

For riders intending to spend more time on technical trails or more demanding descents, the upgraded suspension package may be one of the strongest reasons to look closely at the EXP.

---

SRAM Maven Four-Piston Brakes on the EXP

The Current EXP also upgrades braking to SRAM Maven Base hydraulic four-piston brakes front and rear with 200mm SRAM Centerline rotors. Pasted text

For riders descending longer or steeper trails, four-piston braking provides the kind of control expected from a premium modern trail eMTB.

---

Electronic SRAM AXS Transmission Controls

Another significant EXP upgrade appears in the drivetrain.

The EXP uses a SRAM S1000 Transmission 12-speed rear derailleur, SRAM XS-1270 T-Type 10-52T cassette and SRAM AXS Transmission Shift Pod. Pasted text

Compared with the mechanical Eagle 70 setup on the ADV, the EXP's component package is aimed more directly at riders seeking the higher-specification Current.

---

Current ADV vs. Current EXP: What Is the Difference?

Here is the simplest comparison:

The EXP specification confirms its 29-inch tubeless-compatible wheels with Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR II tires, together with its performance-oriented drivetrain and component package. Pasted text

---

Which Aventon Current Should You Choose?

The Current ADV makes sense for the rider who wants the complete Current riding platform—Ultro X motor, 800Wh battery, 140/150mm suspension, smart technology, 29-inch wheels and serious trail capability—without necessarily needing every premium component offered on the EXP.

The Current EXP takes the same fundamental concept further with its lighter carbon/aluminum chassis, upgraded RockShox suspension, stronger four-piston Maven brake package and higher-level SRAM drivetrain.

Rather than making the choice purely from a specification chart, we recommend riding the bike whenever possible.

Your height alone does not determine whether a mountain bike feels right.

Reach, cockpit position, suspension feel, handlebar width, dropper-post position, weight distribution and motor response all contribute to the experience.

Why We Prefer Local Aventon Current Test Rides in Santa Monica

Buying an electric mountain bike is very different from buying a small consumer product online.

An eMTB combines:

• Bicycle geometry
• Suspension setup
• Hydraulic braking
• Electronic controls
• Motor tuning
• Battery technology
• Drivetrain adjustment
• Rider fit
• Tire setup
• Firmware and smart features

That is why Bike Attack Electric strongly encourages local customers to visit our Santa Monica store and test ride before purchasing whenever the desired model and size are available.

A test ride allows you to evaluate things that no webpage can communicate completely:

How does the Ultro X motor engage?

How natural does the pedal assistance feel?

Does the frame size fit your body position?

Can you comfortably operate the dropper post?

How does the bike feel under braking?

Does the ADV provide everything you need, or do you prefer the lighter and higher-spec EXP?

Those are much easier questions to answer from the saddle than from a computer screen.

Pick Up Your Aventon Current Fully Assembled at Bike Attack Electric

For customers in Southern California, we particularly recommend buying online and picking up at Bike Attack Electric in Santa Monica, or purchasing directly in the store.

Your bike can be professionally assembled rather than arriving as a partially assembled bicycle in a shipping carton.

On a high-performance full-suspension eMTB, correct assembly is especially important.

A professional setup includes attention to critical systems such as:

• Wheels
• Brakes
• Rotors
• Drivetrain
• Handlebar and cockpit
• Suspension
• Dropper post
• Pedals
• Electrical connections
• Motor system
• Firmware and electronics where applicable
• General safety inspection

You leave with a complete bicycle, not a project.

The Current Is a Different Kind of Aventon

Aventon has become well known for practical electric bicycles designed for commuting, transportation and recreation.

The Current takes the company into a substantially more performance-oriented category.

The combination of an Ultro X mid-drive motor, up to 120Nm of Boost torque, an 800Wh battery, 140/150mm full suspension, 29-inch trail wheels, Maxxis tires, dropper seatpost and ACU smart technology creates a platform aimed directly at riders who want to explore beyond pavement.

The Current ADV delivers the core capability of the platform with an aluminum chassis and a strong mechanical component package.

The Current EXP adds a carbon/aluminum frame, upgraded RockShox suspension, four-piston SRAM Maven brakes and an advanced SRAM Transmission configuration. Its stated weight is 53 lbs., with an 800Wh battery and up to 105 miles of claimed range. Pasted text

They share the same fundamental objective:

Climb farther. Descend with more control. Explore more terrain.
