DJI, which nearly everyone knows as the drone company, made the jump into the electric mountain bike (eMTB) sector this year with the DJI Avinox Drive System. We just wanted to show you the clever inner workings of the setup, which brings some unique features to the table.
Shimano LINKGLIDE cassette and chain should be able to handle that much torque and more. It’s got more metal where needed and is a bit heavier as a result. You should try it.
New Shimano XT can take 200Nm for a bit but it gets eaten relatively quickly if you keep running that much torque through it.
Importantly, most drivetrains have to be able to handle 200-ish Nm of torque because that’s what gets applied when you ride standing up. However the ones intended for human use don’t handle that torque continuously. Every time you run that much torque through it, the metal surfaces wear out significantly more so after some wear, you get abnormal behavior.
