If you thought DJI was only about drones and cameras, think again. The company has been quietly refining its Avinox electric bike motor, and the latest firmware update (V00.11.03.04) paired with Avinox Ride app version 1.3.3 is a game-changer. Whether you’re an urban commuter or a weekend warrior tackling rugged trails, this revision brings serious performance and intelligence boosts to your e-bike setup.
In this update, DJI has tackled power delivery, ride customization, battery management, and even in-ride tuning without switching modes. It’s like giving your bike a brain upgrade—smoother, smarter, and more powerful at the same time. Let’s dive into what’s new and why it matters for your next ride.
Bigger Power for Multiple Riding Modes
One of the biggest headlines is the leap in peak power output. DJI has cranked that up to a whopping 1,000 watts at peak, not just in the old Boost setting, but also across Auto, Trail, and Turbo modes. That’s nearly an 18% bump compared to previous firmware, which translates to faster accelerations and less lag when you push the pedals hard.
This extra juice is a real boon if you often switch between pavement sprints and off-road climbs. Instead of saving the 1,000W spike exclusively for Boost, you get to feel that punch whenever you need it, regardless of your selected riding mode. It’s like having more torque at your fingertips without forcing you into a single, one-size-fits-all setting.
Customizable Boost and Real-Time Tuning
Boost mode is still around, but DJI has given it a makeover. You can now adjust Boost duration anywhere from 10 to 60 seconds, versus the old fixed 30 seconds. Want a quick jolt for a short hill, or a longer push for a fast street sprint? You got it. This tweak allows riders to tailor the motor’s punch to their exact needs.
On top of that, DJI introduced the Real-Time Tune feature. Cycling through modes mid-ride can be a hassle, especially when you’re in flow or navigating technical terrain. Now you can tweak assistance levels on the fly via the handlebar controller, without ever stopping or diving into menus.
Fine-Tuning on the Fly
Real-Time Tune feels like having a dial to your ideal power curve. Crank it up a notch when you hit a steep pitch, or dial it back when you’re coasting downhill and want a more natural feel. Adjustments are immediate and intuitive, letting you shape your ride in real time.
Whether you’re chasing Strava KOMs or just want a more responsive ride, this feature empowers you to find the sweet spot for every segment. Once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Enhanced Battery Management
DJI didn’t just focus on raw power—they also refined how the Avinox system handles battery health and longevity. Riders can now cap the battery charge level at 70%, 80%, 95%, or 100%, depending on whether they value immediate range or long-term life span.
This is a small but mighty addition. Charging to full capacity every time can degrade lithium-ion packs faster over months of use. By setting a charge ceiling, you can prioritize battery longevity on daily commutes, then bump it to 100% for that big weekend adventure.
SRAM SmoothShift for Effortless Gear Changes
For e-bikers rocking SRAM X0 Eagle drivetrains, DJI has enabled a specialized SmoothShift function. This lets you shift gears while coasting—no pedal strokes required. The motor momentarily drops torque to protect the chain and cogs, then seamlessly re-engages.
It’s a subtle but significant upgrade when you’re charging down a trail or shifting under load. Keep your momentum and avoid that jerky shift feel. Just flick your AXS controller, and the system does the rest.
App Security Upgrades and Additional Perks
The Avinox Ride app isn’t just about ride data—it’s now more secure too. DJI added a six-digit authentication code and will lock the screen for 30 seconds after multiple failed login attempts. It’s a small gesture but one that serious riders appreciate for protecting personal and ride statistics.
Plus, the app interface has been tidied up for quicker access to settings and firmware checks. No more hunting through menus—everything you need is at your fingertips. And yes, there’s still room to link up with community ride maps and share routes with friends.
All told, DJI’s latest Avinox firmware and app update bridge the gap between raw power and smart, user-friendly controls. If you’ve been curious about DJ1’s move into e-bikes, now’s a great time to experience that signature DJI polish—only this time, it’s embedded in your ride instead of your drone.
