Aventon has launched a Current LTD eMTB with just 99 individually numbered bikes worldwide. The headline is the build kit: RockShox Ultimate suspension, SRAM X0 Transmission and Maven Ultimate brakes. The motor is the same Ultro X used elsewhere in the Current range.
Announced on 13 October, the limited edition arrives in a Magma finish at a US price of $7,999. UK pricing and allocation have not been confirmed in the official sources we have checked, so this is not a UK availability announcement.
What changes on the Current LTD?
Aventon’s launch announcement lists a Lyrik Ultimate fork and Super Deluxe Ultimate shock, alongside the electronic X0 drivetrain and Maven Ultimate brakes. Crankbrothers Synthesis Alloy 2 wheels use Industry Nine 1/1 hubs. A Truvativ Descendant carbon handlebar, Fizik Aidon saddle and RockShox Reverb AXS dropper complete the standout upgrades.
That makes the LTD a component-led flagship rather than a new motor platform. The distinction matters: a buyer interested primarily in the drive system should compare the ordinary Current models before assuming the limited edition brings extra motor capability.
What stays familiar?
The official product specification pairs a carbon front triangle with an aluminium rear end and an 800Wh battery. The fork has 150mm of travel. Aventon lists 110Nm from the Ultro X, rising to 120Nm in Boost mode; those are manufacturer figures, not results from an Electric MTB UK test.
The listed medium-bike weight is 51lb without pedals—approximately 23.1kg. That is a specific size and configuration, not a ready-to-ride weight for every bike. We have not ridden or weighed the LTD.
What UK riders still need to know
We previously covered Aventon’s arrival in the UK. Its UK website currently presents the Current ADV and EXP. The US LTD page does not establish a UK price, delivery date or UK-market specification.
Before committing to an import or a dealer order, ask for the exact market specification, local support arrangements and written availability. A dollar-price conversion is not a UK retail price.
Our take: interesting kit, not a must-buy badge
The useful comparison is between the parts you would choose for your riding and the premium attached to this build. A numbered frame makes the bike scarce; it does not tell us how the suspension feels or whether it is better value for a British rider.
For a wider starting point, our full-power eMTB buying guide looks beyond one limited-edition model. We will need confirmed UK details—and riding time—before making a recommendation on the LTD.
