I haven’t ridden the Aventon Current ADV. This profile is built from Aventon’s official product page, checked on Oct 23, 2026. Every number below comes from that page unless I mark it as my own math, and I explain what each one means for your rides.
Should you buy one?
On paper, the Current ADV is a real full-suspension eMTB, and the price reflects it. For $3,999 (as of Oct 23, 2026) Aventon lists its Ultro X mid-drive with up to 120 Nm, an 800 Wh battery, 150mm RockShox fork and 140mm rear travel, SRAM 12-speed, 200mm rotors and a dropper post. The trade-offs on paper: it’s expensive, it’s Class 1 by default, and the total weight limit is 300 lb.

- Dropper post and Maxxis tires

What the specs mean on the road
Ultro X mid-drive, 110 to 120 Nm. A mid-drive drives the cranks, so it uses the gears. That matters most on steep, technical climbs.
800 Wh, up to 105 miles. Trail riding with lots of climbing burns far more energy than road riding. Use 105 miles as the upper limit.
150mm fork, 140mm rear. Full suspension for real trails, roots and drops — a different category from hardtail and fat tire bikes.
SRAM DB8, 200mm rotors. Big rotors on both ends for long descents.
29 in Maxxis tires. Trail-focused tread and big wheels that roll over obstacles.
56 lb (size M). Light for an eMTB with this battery.
How it compares to bikes I’ve reviewed
- Aventon Ramblas: Aventon’s mid-drive eMTB that I tested, on 29 x 2.4 in tires.
- Aventon Aventure 3: a fat tire bike I tested, for riders who want dirt roads rather than singletrack.
Who it’s for
- Trail riders who want full suspension and a mid-drive
- Riders who want 4G/GPS and anti-theft on an eMTB
Who should look elsewhere
- Commuters and casual riders
- Riders over 300 lb with gear
- Anyone with a budget under $4,000
