Aventon Ramblas ADV

Ben spent 3 hours on the Ramblas ADV and kind of fell in love with it. The 100Nm A100 mid-drive is right up there with Bosch, the new tubeless-ready Maxxis Rekons hook corners, and on groomed blues and blacks this thing rips, at the same $2,899 as the OG Ramblas.

A RockShox Psylo Silver R 130mm coil fork and a 150mm Manic dropper post give it real trail intent.

The Bike Cave Verdict

Ben's Take

I didn't think I was going to like this bike at first, but I kind of fell in love with it. Aventon kept everything that was working on the OG Ramblas, including the $2,899 price, and upgraded where it matters: tubeless-ready wheels and a better fork. It's not a bike for double black trails or 15-foot drops, but on groomed blues and blacks this thing rips, and not having the safety blanket of a rear shock made trails I've ridden hundreds of times feel new again. In the 3 hours I rode it, it made me a better rider. Hell yeah, Aventon, you made a great bike here.

Ben's on-camera ratings, scored from −3 to +3 against the eMTB baseline.

👍 What stands out

  • A100 motor is surprisingly powerful; 100Nm is right up there with Bosch and DJI Avinox, and power comes in quietly and super smooth
  • New auto mode goes from eco to turbo without pushing buttons and saves battery
  • Tubeless-compatible wheels, and the Maxxis Rekons are fast, grippy and hook corners really well
  • Nothing to adjust; no air pressure or sag to check, just get the bike off the rack and go
  • The most efficient climbing feel Ben has ever tested on an eMTB, with perfect body position right over the cranks
  • Fit and finish held up after a muddy ride; wheels still true, nothing came loose

👎 What to know

  • Motor noise is on par with a Shimano EP8 or older Bosch CX; a bit under the Avinox and CX5 gold standard
  • The hardtail rear end gets bounced around on rough root sections at speed
  • The fork blows through its travel when it gets rough, with no compression settings or way to stiffen it
  • Rear suspension scores a zero; rear wheel traction from a shock was definitely missed in rough spots
