Aventon Current ADV / EXP: Everything You Need to Know
Two full-suspension bikes share this slash. The compare page prints $3,999 and $5,999, an Ultro X, and a 105-mile claim. A second Aventon post prices the alloy frame at $4,599. Class 1, a Class 2 sentence, and a Class 3 unlock are all in print.

The short answer
The Current line is two full-suspension bikes. Aventon’s compare card prints $3,999 and $5,999 with an Ultro X and a 105-mile claim. A September 2026 post matches those prices, prints 800 watt-hours, and lists 56 pounds and 53 pounds. A second post prices the alloy frame higher and describes an app unlock. A Florida piece and Electric Bike Report say that unlock is refused.
The Aventon Current ADV / EXP line is two full-suspension bikes, not one spec. Aventon’s compare page prints $3,999.00 and $5,999.00, an Ultro X mid-drive, and a 105-mile claim on both. A September 8, 2026 post on the same site uses those dollar figures, an 800Wh pack, 56 lb on the aluminum frame, and 53 lb on the carbon-front frame, and says that pack is integrated rather than the keyed pack on the Aventure and the Level. A different Aventon post prices the aluminum frame at $4,599, calls it UL certified, and describes a Class 1 default with an app path to Class 3. Rider Guide’s July 17, 2026 note agrees with the lower pair of prices and that unlock, and puts 28 mph on the carbon-front frame. Florida Bicycling on May 2, 2026, and Electric Bike Report on March 16, 2026, print $4,599 for the aluminum frame and say the faster unlock is not offered there. The row on the list links here.
Two prices on the cheaper frame, one on the other
Aventon’s product card, two Aventon posts, Rider Guide (July 17, 2026), Florida Bicycling (May 2, 2026), Electric Bike Report (March 16, 2026), and a 99 Spokes card. Not averaged.
| What is printed | |
|---|---|
| Price | Product card and the September 8 post: $3,999 and $5,999. The smart-bike post, Florida Bicycling, and Electric Bike Report: $4,599 on that frame. Florida also says that frame is $1,400 less. 5,999 minus 1,400 is 4,599. 5,999 minus 2,000 is 3,999. The lighter bike’s tag stays $5,999 on every one of these reads. |
| Motor | Product card: Ultro X, 110 Nm, 120 Nm in Boost, 750W peak, 850W peak in Boost, 150 mm fork, 140 mm at the rear. Electric Bike Report adds a 250W nominal and prints 36 volts and 22 amp-hours beside 800Wh. Thirty-six times 22 is 792. Rider Guide says volts and amp-hours were not published. A 99 Spokes card calls both a hub. The product card and the posts call the motor a mid-drive. |
| Pack and miles | September 8 post: 800Wh, integrated. Compare page: a 105-mile claim, both frames. Electric Bike Report’s floor is 30 miles in Boost on trails, with a charge of about 5.55 hours. Nobody in this set printed a third capacity between 792 and 800. |
| Mass | September 8 post and Rider Guide: about 56 lb on the cheaper frame, about 53 lb on the lighter one. Rider Guide cites a Loam Wolf scale figure of 53.8 lb on the lighter frame. 99 Spokes prints 56.0 and 53.0 and leaves rear travel blank. |
| Parts | Cheaper frame, on the product card: 6061 tubing, RockShox Deluxe Select+ (210x55), SRAM DB8 Stealth, Eagle 70, 12-speed. The smart-bike post pairs a Psylo Gold 150 with that Deluxe Select+. Florida Bicycling calls that rear shock a Super Deluxe Select+. Lighter frame: a carbon section up front, 6061 in the rear, Lyrik Select 150, Super Deluxe Select+, Maven Base, S1000. |
| Speed class | Smart-bike post and Rider Guide: ships Class 1, app can open Class 3. Rider Guide’s 28 mph line is the lighter bike. Florida Bicycling: Class 2 at 20 mph, and the faster class is not available on the cheaper bike. Electric Bike Report: Aventon does not allow that unlock there. Pedals are on both. These pages do not describe a thumb throttle. |
Seven hundred ninety-two is the product of 36 and 22. Eight hundred is the nameplate. Publishing 796 would invent a cell. The cheaper price has the same shape. Three thousand nine hundred ninety-nine and four thousand five hundred ninety-nine are both printed on Aventon pages. The lighter bike’s price is the one figure that does not move. A 99 Spokes hub label does not rewrite the mid-drive pages. Deluxe Select+ and Super Deluxe Select+ are different shocks. That bike cannot wear both unless a later page says the spec changed.
One Aventon page prices the cheaper bike at $3,999. Another Aventon page prices it at $4,599. The lighter bike is $5,999 on both. Do not average the alloy tags.
Who it is for
It is the direct-sale trail bike for a rider who will read which shock, which price, and which speed cap shipped in the box. It is not the Turbo Levo 4. That one is the dealer full-power bike. A catalog cell that says hub does not make this a hub. The hub versus mid-drive page is why the torque number goes through the cassette.
Pedals are here. A throttle is not what these cards describe. If the bike in the crate is the Class 1 ship, the app unlock is a second sticker, and Florida’s Class 2 sentence is a third. The class chart is why those three are not one law. The watt-hour page is the 792 against the 800 nameplate. One hundred five miles is a claim. Thirty miles in the high map, on trails, is a floor from one review. They were not folded into a middle.
Questions people ask
Why do Aventon’s own pages disagree on the cheaper price?+
The compare card and the September 8, 2026 post print $3,999 beside $5,999. A smart-bike post prints a higher alloy tag. Florida Bicycling says the cheaper bike is $1,400 less. Subtracting 1,400 from 5,999 gives one printed tag. Subtracting 2,000 gives the other. Neither subtraction replaces a page.
Which rear shock is printed for the cheaper Current?+
The product card prints a RockShox Deluxe Select+ at 210 by 55, with 150 mm up front and 140 mm at the back, plus SRAM DB8 Stealth brakes. A smart-bike post pairs a Psylo Gold 150 with that same Deluxe. Florida Bicycling calls the shock a Super Deluxe Select+. The lighter bike’s pages agree on a Lyrik Select and a Super Deluxe.
Why is 800 watt-hours not the same as 36 times 22?+
Aventon’s September post prints 800 watt-hours and calls the pack integrated, not the keyed pack on the Aventure and the Level. Rider Guide says volts and amp-hours were not published. Electric Bike Report prints 36 volts and 22 amp-hours beside the 800 nameplate. The product is 792. Publishing 796 would invent a cell.
Did a catalog call this motor a hub?+
A 99 Spokes card labels both frames hub-drive and leaves rear travel blank. The compare card and the Aventon posts call it an Ultro X mid-drive, 110 Nm, or 120 Nm on the higher map, 750W peak, or 850W peak on that map. Electric Bike Report adds a 250W nominal. The hub word does not replace those lines.

Hub Motor vs Mid-Drive: Which Should You Buy?
Hub ignores the gears. Mid-drive uses them. Hills, cargo, range-per-Wh, chain bills, and the $1,500 line where the answer actually changes.

What Is a Class 1, 2, and 3 E-Bike?
Class 1 is pedal-assist to 20. Class 2 adds a throttle to 20. Class 3 is pedal-assist to 28. A Tuttio is none of these. The sticker is not the trail.
