Avinox M1 (850 W)
DJI's market entry in 2024 was a real bang. Even though the name of the drone manufacturer has meanwhile disappeared from the Avinox branding, the shockwaves are still reverberating. 105 Nm (120 Nm in Boost), up to 1000 watts of power, and all that at just over 2.5 kg in weight—impressive. Furthermore, they also did their homework on the topic of response behavior and app connectivity. In conjunction with the high-resolution touch display and two batteries with high energy density, Avinox offers a really strong overall package with the M1.

Power Characteristics
Shows how much power the motor delivers for a given rider input. The value shown is pure motor power, adjusted for input and drivetrain losses.
Input vs. Output: Avinox M1 (850 W)
In its highest support level, the Avinox motor impresses with brute power delivery: At 50 watts of rider power, we already measure over 600 watts of motor power, and at around 70 watts, the Avinox is already stronger than our entire remaining test field. Impressive, but it is also clear: Anyone riding in this performance range might struggle to keep the motor in check.
Cadence Behavior
Shows the optimal RPM range.
RPM: Avinox M1 (850 W)
Our cadence analysis of the Avinox at 130 watts rider power is interesting: It shows that the motor definitely needs RPM to play out its power. Up to a cadence of 30, it even lags behind most other motors from 80 rpm, it gains ground, and by a cadence of 95 rpm at the latest, the competitors can hardly hold a candle to it.
Thermal Performance
Shows power output performance over 15/20 minutes under constant full load.
20 min
The Avinox's handling of derating is special: Even after 20 minutes, the motor continues to reach its maximum output despite its brute power. But: We can observe a strong pulsing of power, right from the start. Occasionally, we see a power fluctuation of 10% and more here. Accordingly, this is unlikely to be for thermal reasons but rather a matter of the control system: Possibly the drive manages to hold out so long this way—despite high power. Also noteworthy: The housing of the motor got significantly hotter than 100°C in our test.
