DJI's latest firmware update brings 1,000W of peak power to the Auto, Trail and Turbo modes of its Avinox motor, plus boost mode adjustments and other customisations.
Some of the new firmware features were trialled in a controversial update to DJI’s app at the end of April 2025.
The headline change was the 150W increase in peak power in Turbo mode, enabling the Avinox to unleash its full 1000W, which had previously been restricted to its 30-second Boost feature.
Now, this official firmware update takes it one step further, bringing the motor’s full power to even more assistance modes.
The 17.6% increase in power makes the most powerful motor on the market even more powerful. While users can adjust performance limits, few riders will say no to the extra watts.
Customisable Boost and Quick Start mode
Another feature trialled in April’s update that's now here for good is the extended Boost mode.
Boost mode – which was the only way to access the Avinox’s 1000W max power before the April update – can now be configured to kick in for 10 to 60 seconds/
A new feature in this firmware update is Quick Start.
DJI claims the motor will now be quicker to respond to pedalling inputs, starting up faster and delivering power sooner.
How this performs on the trails remains to be tested, but it could make the Avinox even better on technical climbs where responsive and timely motor performance is crucial.
SmoothShift for SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission
The new Avinox firmware also includes a bonus feature for riders with SRAM X0 Eagle Transmission drivetrains.
If your bike runs the wireless drivetrain, you can now shift gears while coasting using your AXS shifter.
When a gear shift is detected, the motor kicks in, engaging the drivetrain and shifting without the rider needing to spin the cranks. DJI claims motor torque will be reduced during coasting shifts to prevent excessive wear and tear to the chain.
