DJI unveils ‘major firmware updates’ for Avinox system

DJI has announced the rollout of what it is calling “significant 2025 firmware updates” for the brand’s Avinox e-bike system.

The latest device version V00.11.03.04 – along with the new Avinox Ride App version v1.3.3 –  aims to deliver “enhanced power, greater control, and a suite of intelligent features designed to elevate the riding experience for eMTB riders worldwide”.

Speaking at the launch of the updates, Ferdinand Wolf, Product Experience Director at Avinox, comments: “With our 2025 firmware releases, we’re not just increasing the adjustable peak power—we’re giving riders more freedom to shape how their drive system behaves.

“These updates reflect our commitment to delivering meaningful innovations that enhance performance, protect components, and make the ride feel more intuitive, responsive, and personalised.”

Advanced control and customisation

The updates introduce Real-Time Tune, a feature allowing riders to use wireless controllers to increase or decrease assist levels on the fly within the current mode. Assist modes can now be reordered, hidden, or renamed, and the control display supports up to 8 data items, including bar and line charts, a stopwatch, and visualisations.

In addition, the system now supports:

· SmoothShift (Sram X0 Eagle Transmission Derailleur required): allows gear shifting during coasting using the AXS controller, enhancing control without pedalling. When a gear shift is detected, torque will be reduced to achieve chain protection and extend its lifespan (needs to be enabled manually).

·  Control Centre: monitor bike status, record data, and manage accessories directly from the onboard display.

· Custom charging limits: Users can now select battery charge thresholds of 70%, 80%, 95%, or 100%, balancing longevity and range.

More power where it counts

With the updates, riders can now choose to adjust to 1,000 watts of peak power in Auto, Trail, and Turbo modes—a 17.6% increase over previous performance limits.

The adjustable assistance range in Trail and Turbo modes has also been expanded, giving cyclists more control without affecting pre-set configurations.

Smarter boosts and quicker starts

Boost mode is now adjustable from 10 to 60 seconds, offering flexible power bursts on climbs or during sprints. A new Quick Start function enables the motor to respond more rapidly when pedalling begins—ideal for technical inclines.

Improved app experience and connectivity

The new Avinox Ride App v1.3.3 introduces enhanced UI consistency, the ability to delete ride data, improved Strava synchronisation, and historical accident movement viewing. It also supports password security upgrades with six-digit authentication and a 30-second screen lock after multiple failed attempts.

Bluetooth compatibility has been refined, ensuring stability when setting drivetrain parameters and improving ride data consistency between the app and display.

Update Instructions

  • These updates are available through the New Avinox Ride App version v1.3.3, and are compatible with both iOS and Android devices.
  • Riders are encouraged to update their systems to take full advantage of these new features.
  • For optimal performance, riders need to update both the app and the drive unit simultaneously.
