Overview
The Megamo Reason AL 07 2027 is designed for riders who want a capable full suspension electric mountain bike with serious power, long-range battery support and reliable trail components. It uses Megamo’s Reason aluminium frame with 160mm rear wheel travel, making it suitable for technical trails, steep climbs, natural off-road routes and long mountain bike days.
At the heart of the bike is the Avinox M2S drive system, paired with an 800Wh integrated battery. This gives the Reason AL 07 the strength to tackle demanding climbs while still offering the battery capacity needed for bigger rides. Fox suspension, Shimano XT 12-speed gearing and Shimano XT four-piston brakes complete a specification aimed at riders who want performance without moving into higher-priced carbon models.
For customers looking for a Megamo electric mountain bike near Derby, this is a strong choice for Peak District trails, local bridleways, trail centres and more demanding weekend riding.
Key Features
Avinox M2S Motor
The Avinox M2S motor provides strong climbing assistance for steep gradients, technical trail sections and long off-road rides. It is a key reason this bike stands out in the full suspension e-MTB category.
800Wh Integrated Battery
The 800Wh battery gives the Reason AL 07 excellent ride potential for longer days out. Range will always depend on rider weight, terrain, assistance mode, tyre pressure and weather conditions.
160mm Full Suspension Travel
With 160mm travel, this bike is built for trail and all-mountain riding rather than light leisure use. It is designed to handle rougher terrain, drops, roots, rocks and fast descending.
Fox Suspension
Fox suspension helps improve control, grip and comfort on uneven ground. This makes the bike more composed on technical descents and more forgiving during longer rides.
Shimano XT Drivetrain
Shimano XT 12-speed gearing gives a wide gear range for climbing and reliable shifting for demanding off-road use.
Shimano XT Four-Piston Brakes
Four-piston Shimano XT hydraulic disc brakes provide strong stopping power, especially useful on steep descents, wet trails and heavier e-bike riding conditions.
Best For
- Trail riding and all-mountain riding
- Riders wanting a powerful Avinox e-MTB
- Longer off-road rides with bigger climbs
- Peak District routes and UK trail centres
- Riders upgrading from a hardtail or older e-bike
Who Is This For?
This bike is best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who want a serious electric mountain bike for real off-road use. It is not a basic commuter e-bike or a casual hybrid. Choose this if you want strong motor support, proper suspension travel and dependable trail components.
Real-World Performance
On steep climbs, the Avinox M2S motor helps reduce fatigue and makes technical ascents more manageable. On descents, the 160mm suspension platform gives confidence when the trail becomes rougher. The Shimano XT brakes are a major benefit for UK riding, where wet conditions and steep terrain demand reliable braking power.
The 29-inch wheel setup helps the bike roll over roots, rocks and trail chatter more smoothly. This makes the Reason AL 07 suitable for riders who want one e-MTB for local loops, trail centre days and bigger weekend rides.
How This Fits Your Setup
The Megamo Reason AL 07 works well as a main mountain bike for riders who want to ride further, climb more easily and take on harder trails. It can replace a regular full suspension MTB if you want motor assistance, or it can be a major upgrade from a hardtail e-bike if you want more comfort and control.

Comparison Within the Megamo Reason Range
Choose a Lower Model If
Choose a lower-positioned Megamo Reason model if you want the Reason platform and Avinox performance but want to keep the price lower. This may suit riders who ride less aggressively or do not need the same level of component specification.
Choose the Reason AL 07 If
The Reason AL 07 is the balanced choice. It combines aluminium frame value, Avinox M2S power, 800Wh battery capacity, Fox suspension and Shimano XT components. It is ideal if you want strong trail performance without moving into higher carbon-bike pricing.
Upgrade If
Upgrade to a higher Reason model if you want a lighter carbon frame, more advanced suspension or a more premium overall build. This makes sense for riders chasing lower weight, harder enduro riding or the highest specification in the range.
