Aventon lists the Current ADV at $3,999 with an Ultro X mid-drive, 140 mm of rear travel, a 150 mm RockShox fork, 29-inch wheels, and a 56 lb weight, but its own tags say both Class 1 and 28 mph. - Author: Carlos Hickey - Tags: aventon, reviews A $3,999 full-suspension trail bike with a mid-drive, 140 mm of rear travel and a 56 lb listed weight. The lower-priced of Aventon's two trail platforms, and the one with an unresolved class label. **Manufacturer:** [Aventon](https://www.pnwebike.com/manufacturers/aventon/) Manufacturer specs pulled 20 Oct 2026 ## Is the Aventon Current ADV right for a rider 50+? It is a real trail bike, but the class label is unresolved: Aventon's own tags say both Class 1 and 28 mph, and those describe different legal machines. Aventon lists the Current ADV at $3,999 with an Ultro X mid-drive, 140 mm rear travel, a 150 mm RockShox fork, 29-inch wheels and 56 lb. Torque, battery watt-hours, standover, brake specification and UL listing are not published there. Price $3,999 Lower-priced of Aventon's two trail platforms. Travel 140 mm rear 150 mm RockShox fork; 29-inch wheels. Weight 56 lb Lightest of the bikes reviewed here, still not a carry. ## Editor's note No firsthand observation, measurement, or owner quote was invented for this page. When a manufacturer's own tags contradict each other on class, this page records the contradiction rather than choosing the friendlier label. ## Who this is for This suits a rider who wants a genuine full-suspension trail bike and can lift 56 lb onto a rack. It is a poorer fit if you need a settled legal class before riding mixed paths, or if your riding is pavement and gravel rather than singletrack. ## Why does the class label matter so much here? Class 1 and a 28 mph assist describe different legal machines, and trail access often depends on the class. Until Aventon states which one the bike is, the access question is open. Ask for the class in writing before ordering, and check the land manager's rule for your trail. ## What owners say No attributable owner sample is recorded for the Current ADV in the sources used here, so this page makes no reliability claim. ## Where it falls short - Aventon's own tags say both Class 1 and 28 mph. - Torque, battery capacity, standover, brakes and UL are not published in the data used. - 56 lb is light for this class but still a rack lift. - Trail access may depend on the unresolved class. ## Spec versus reality | Spec | Manufacturer claim | Independent / verified reality | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | | Price | $3,999 | Variant data, 20 Oct 2026. | | Drive | Ultro X mid-drive | Manufacturer claim. | | Rear travel | 140 mm | Manufacturer claim. | | Fork | 150 mm RockShox | Manufacturer claim. | | Wheels | 29-inch | Manufacturer claim. | | Weight | 56 lb | Listed. | | Class | Unresolved (Class 1 and 28 mph both tagged) | Get it in writing. | | Certification | Not published in the data used | Ask for the UL listing. | ## PNW reality check #### Rain No ingress rating is confirmed. Suspension and brakes need servicing more often in wet grit. #### Hills A mid-drive with 140 mm of travel is built for climbing trails; the unresolved class affects access, not capability. #### Storage Ground-level, ideally with the front wheel off. 56 lb is manageable but not a wall hook. #### Lifting 56 lb is the lightest bike in this review set. Check the rack rating and lift height. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is the Current ADV Class 1 or Class 3? Aventon's tags show both Class 1 and 28 mph, which are different classes. Ask for the class in writing before ordering. ### How much travel does it have? 140 mm rear and a 150 mm RockShox fork, per Aventon. ### How much does it weigh? 56 lb is listed, which is light for a full-suspension e-bike but still a rack lift. ### What is the motor? An Ultro X mid-drive. Torque is not published in the data used. ### What is the battery capacity? Not published in the data used. Ask for watt-hours and the part number. ### Is it UL certified? Not stated in the data used. Ask for the battery and charger listing. ### Can I ride it on trails? That depends on the class and the land manager's rule, and the class is unresolved here. ### Who is it for? A rider who wants a real trail bike and can lift 56 lb. Not a pavement commuter. ## Sources 1. 2026-10-20 — Aventon, [Current ADV product page](https://www.aventon.com/products/aventon-current-adv?ref=pnwebike.com).
