Pinkbike First Ride: Teewing Flux One Pro and the Avinox M2S Motor
Pinkbike doesn't hand out glowing early impressions for bikes that don't earn them. So when they wrapped their first ride on the Teewing Flux One Pro and called it "a riot," that's worth paying attention to.
Watch the full review below, then read on for the key takeaways for NZ riders.
Built for Aotearoa's Biggest Terrain
The Flux One Pro is a long-travel carbon enduro machine. At 180mm of front travel and 178mm out back, with a high-pivot suspension platform, mullet wheel setup, and a 63.5 degree head tube angle, Pinkbike put it clearly: this bike points you toward the steeper, rowdier tracks.
The high-pivot layout works an idler pulley system to eliminate pedal kickback, keeping suspension active and consistent on climbs and descents alike. Flip chips let you dial geometry to suit your terrain and riding style. The mullet configuration (29" front, 27.5" rear) gives you stability up front and snap out back.
"I think this thing's going to be really fun. More tighter terrain, maybe even a couple ride hits and stunts."
The Avinox M2S: A Step Above Everything Else
The Flux One Pro is one of the first bikes in the world to run the new Avinox M2S motor system. Pinkbike arrived already familiar with the M1, which had already separated itself from the field. Their verdict on the M2S was immediate.
"Even compared to the M1 Avinox motor, it really separated itself from all the other bikes out there. And this thing is like another step above again."
On steep climbs in Turbo mode, the M2S holds speed more easily and sustains output at higher RPMs for longer than anything before it. In Auto mode, the cadence-sensitive delivery keeps the power governed and controllable on long climbing sections.
"Climbing this thing, I was totally blown away.
The numbers back that up. The M2S delivers 130Nm of continuous torque, rising to 150Nm in Boost mode. Most established motor platforms sit well under 100Nm. Pinkbike's verdict on where that leaves the competition: the Avinox is "leaving the other players in the dust, quite literally."
Refinement has improved alongside the power. The M2S runs quieter than its predecessor, and the Shimano XT Di2 drivetrain runs quieter on the Flux than it does on a non-assisted bike. Power and polish in equal measure.
Race-Level Components, No Compromise
A common question with brands newer to NZ riders, especially those building in Asia, is whether the component spec matches the price. On the Flux One Pro, the answer is on the spec sheet.
The bike ships with a 2027 Fox 38 Factory fork with Kashima coating and Grip X2 damper, a Fox Factory Float X2 rear shock, Shimano XT Di2 electronic shifting, four-piston Shimano XT brakes, Formula carbon MX wheels, and Maxxis Assegai and DHRII rubber. The drive system is DJI technology. These are the components you find on bikes costing significantly more from brands with decades of name recognition.
Pinkbike's overall first-ride summary:
"Comfortable, quiet, still pretty maneuverable … very powerful and good bottom out control."
