BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Test, Pros, and Cons. Real Performance (Review)
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Our unfiltered test. Performance, Issues, and Opinions.
How does the BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027 actually perform? Find out in our exclusive test: we analyze ride dynamics, real-world performance, and the aspects that failed to convince us.
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Build Quality
The build quality is based on a carbon frame utilizing "Core" internal cavity layup technology. Torsional stiffness is high, optimized to manage the 150 Nm of peak torque from the Avinox M2S motor. Assembly tolerances are precise, though the decision to integrate cable routing through the headset (ICR) complicates routine maintenance tasks.
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Frame
The frame adopts the Split Pivot suspension kinematics, ensuring suspension performance remains independent of braking forces. The geometry is oriented toward modern trail requirements: a 63.5° head angle and a 77.5° seat tube angle. The center of gravity is kept low thanks to the integration of the 800 Wh battery within the slim-profile down tube.
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Components and Assembly
Components follow the specifications of the BH Unique configurator. Shimano (XT/Deore) parts provide standard reliability. Technical note: The integration of the 2" OLED display into the top tube is a plus for cockpit cleanliness but exposes the screen to potential impacts during a crash.
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Comfort
Comfort is ensured by the Split Pivot kinematics, which absorb medium-to-small bumps with progressivity. The geometry allows for a centered riding position, reducing fatigue on long-distance rides.
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Handling
On flat ground
Efficient and smooth. Internal resistance of the Avinox motor is reduced by 41%, making pedaling natural even beyond the 25 km/h cut-off.
At high speeds
Stable thanks to the generous wheelbase (127.6 cm in size M) and a suspension system that does not suffer from chattering on rough terrain.
On descents
The progressivity of the rear triangle offers support in the first part of the travel, keeping the bike responsive during direction changes.
In tight sections
Despite the wheelbase, agility is guaranteed by the 447 mm chainstays, which allow for precise corner entry.
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Performance
Condition Behavior
Climbing Brutal power (150 Nm); optimal traction thanks to anti-squat.
Flat ground Fluid; motor drag almost imperceptible.
Rolling terrain Dynamic, requires an active riding style to maximize flow.
Descending Total control; neutral suspension under braking.
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Real-World Range
With the 800 Wh battery pack, actual range varies between 80 km and 130 km, depending on the assistance level (Eco vs Boost) and elevation gain. The 3CP triple-contact system ensures consistent power delivery until the battery is depleted.
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Pros and Cons
- Pros: Avinox M2S motor (performance/torque), 800Wh battery integration, Split Pivot kinematics.
- Cons: Integrated headset cabling (complex maintenance), vulnerable top tube OLED display.
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Recommendations
For an optimal setup, we recommend a precise SAG calibration of the Fox 36 fork (150 mm) and the use of tire inserts to protect the DT Swiss H1900 rims.
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Accessories and Upgrades
The most effective upgrade involves a carbon wheelset and switching to a carbon handlebar with geometry optimized for high-frequency vibration damping.
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: What didn't convince us
The internal cable routing through the headset: excellent aesthetics, but workshop labor time for replacing a cable or a headset bearing is excessive for intensive use.
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Known Issues
No data available (recent model, ongoing monitoring).
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: Alternatives
Specialized Turbo Levo (software integration), Orbea Rise (lightweight focus), Trek Fuel EXe (motor delivery).
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: FAQ
- What is the weight of the base version? Approximately 21 kg (claimed weight).
- Is the battery removable? Integrated to optimize stiffness and design.
BH ILYNX+ DL TRAIL 2027: CYCLONLINE.COM TECHNICAL VERDICT
This bike is not suitable for those looking for a machine to "service in the garage" without specific tooling. Ideal for riders who prioritize raw power (150 Nm) and extended range. Benchmark performance for the modern Trail/Enduro segment.
