Ari Wire Peak 3.0 eMTB: Avinox M2S Power Under $5K
Ari's new Wire Peak puts big power into a relatively affordable package, and even offers a frameset option with a shock for an even more wallet-friendly choice. Could this be the most affordable Avinox-powered eMTB on the market? It's certainly close, with the TeeWings Flux One frameset coming in at $4,499.00 USD, although the Flux One is a carbon frame…
No matter which build option you choose, you get the M2S, Avinox's highest-power motor. Complete bikes start at just $4,999 USD (or $4,199 for the frameset), with top-spec options coming in at $7,999 USD. Regardless of the build spec, all the Wire Peak models are built around the same alloy frame, Avinox M2S motor , and 800wh battery.

The Wire Peak is Ari's first adoption of the Avinox system, and it looks to me like the suspension and layout are taking cues from the Timp Peak, which launched last year with the Bosch CX system. The Wire Peak, unlike the Timp Peak, sits on 150mm of rear wheel travel and 160mm up front.
Overview
The Wire Peak frame features a couple of geometry adjustments with a low/high flipchip alongside a long/short flipchip and the ability to change between MX and full 29" wheels. Overall, the geometry is what we see quite a lot these days in this travel category: a 64-degree head tube angle, a 78-degree seat tube angle, and reach numbers that fit a wide range of riders (435 – 505 mm).

The 4-bar suspension layout and balanced geometry look like a recipe for a decent platform, but with a full aluminum frame, the bike is likely to be relatively heavy, and we don't currently see weights listed on the Ari website. I'd wager it's in the ballpark of 50lbs, but who really cares? Twist it and rip it, you know?

The bike is pretty vanilla, but that might be intentional, since it will appeal to many more riders, especially given that it has the motor everyone wants right now, at a fairly reasonable price. I won't get into my opinions on Avinox and the current trends in eMTB – those opinions can be found here – but I will say that this probably isn't the last new bike we'll see with an Avinox M2S this year.
