Amflow unveils TL Carbon e-bike for commuting, touring and trails

Amflow is trying to sell more than a mountain bike. The DJI spin-off unveiled the TL Carbon as its first bike outside the traditional eMTB category, pitching it as an all-terrain “eSUV” for trail rides, bikepacking, commuting and daycare runs. Built around the compact Avinox M2 mid-drive motor, the new model pairs 125Nm of torque with 1,100W of peak power, a specification set that gives the carbon frame enough muscle to replace a second car for some daily trips.

The numbers are aimed squarely at the practical objections that have slowed broader e-bike adoption. Amflow says the TL Carbon weighs as little as 22.6kg, with a full-carbon frame that comes in at 2.9kg, while delivering 120mm of front travel and 105mm at the rear. The bike ships with front and rear mudguards, a rear rack, water bottle cage, pedals, a headlight and a taillight, and it supports an optional front rack. The rear rack uses the MIK-HD standard and is approved for a child seat, a detail that pushes the bike beyond weekend recreation and into school-dropoff duty.

Amflow also built in flexibility for mixed-use owners. The TL Carbon can be configured with 27.5-inch, 29-inch or mixed wheel setups, and its default 67-degree head angle can be slackened by 1 degree with 29-inch wheels. The maximum permissible system weight is 200kg, including rider, bike and cargo, giving the model a clear pitch as a family-hauler as well as a trail bike.

FOX co-developed the suspension package for the TL platform, and FOX senior manager of product management Adam Marriott said the FOX AWL fork and FLOAT shock are optimized for “comfort, traction, and control.” That pairing, along with the bike’s touring-ready hardware, suggests Amflow is targeting riders who want one machine to cover weekday errands, loaded rides and rougher terrain without stepping up to a larger utility bike.

Price may be the most aggressive part of the package. The TL Carbon is listed at €3,499 and is set to become available later in 2026, with Amflow showing it at EUROBIKE 2026 in Frankfurt. Industry reaction has already centered on that mix of utility and cost, with Pinkbike framing the bike as a disruptive, low-priced eSUV that could pull new riders into mountain biking while still keeping a stripped-down carbon eMTB at the core.
