[[{“value”:”When Aventon announced their entry to the full-power eMTB market, we were intrigued by what they would bring to the table. With many years of experience in the urban and commuter world, we were excited to see how their own Ultro X drive unit in the 140mm travel Current would perform.
Overall, the Aventon Current surprised most of our testers, and we applaud the brand for bringing their first eBike to market, a machine that will satisfy a new user group with plenty of controllable power and a comfortable and capable feel on trail.
Let’s dive into the details, and see how the Aventon Current faired against its 14 eMTB competitors in The Loam Wolf 2026 eMTB Shootout.

These intensive group reviews would not be possible without some amazing partners. Their support ensures our entire crew can ride all these bikes on a variety of terrain to establish real-world data for our audience.
@foxracing kept the team warm during the odd storm, comfortable on hot days, and ensured we were always looking cool while staying protected.
@SchwalbeBikeTires provided control tires with amazing and predictable performance, and 2 weeks of testing across the 15 test eMTBs with zero flat tires.
We’d also like to thank our destination hosts. We stayed at Glorieta Adventure Camps just outside Santa Fe, New Mexico and we were supported by Sante Fe City and Santa Fe County and their Tourism Dept. Thanks for the hospitality, and you should definitely get down there for yourself!
