We’ve mentioned this before and we’ll say it again: MMR Bikes is making a big splash in 2026. The recently launched Lyth electric bike now has a new special version, positioned at the higher end of their catalog and labeled Plus.

We mention Fernando Alonso because he is one of the brand’s official ambassadors. This Formula 1 driver (along with other brand ambassadors) seems to be helping promote this Asturian bicycle brand.

Truthfully, the new MMR Lyth 00 Plus is a stunning bike. It features equipment that’s rare in all-mountain bikes: the suspensions, made by the Swedish brand Öhlins, seem more suited for disciplines like enduro or freeride, adding an element of exclusivity to the new Lyth.

The engine: abundant power

The new Lyth 00 Plus remains unchanged in this regard: it’s equipped with the Avinox M2S motor, which has a maximum power output of 1,300 W and a torque of 130 Nm. In boost mode (for 60 seconds), it can reach up to 150 Nm of torque, with a maximum assistance level of 800%. Thanks to the Chinese brand’s app, we can customize various levels of motor assistance. This app also provides a comprehensive anti-theft system, including code-based startup, motor locking, and even an alarm.

The battery is the integrated Avinox FS800, with a capacity of 800 Wh, allowing us to cover many kilometers as long as we use the motor’s power settings carefully. On the upper tube of the frame is the Avinox DP100 display.

The frame and components are top-notch

The reason MMR has stood out recently is its meticulous crafting of its frames, especially those made of carbon fiber. And this Lyth 00 Plus is no exception. The finish is exquisite, with internal wiring and very careful detailing.

We mentioned earlier that it’s an allmountain bike: well, the new Lyth 00 Plus has had its front suspension travel slightly adjusted, now at 170 mm (compared to 160 mm on other Lyth models), while keeping the rear suspension at 160 mm. The steering angle is 64º, and the wheelbase is 1,224 mm in size M, giving an idea of how stable this Lyth is.

However, the Lyth 00 Pllus features a flip-chip that allows adjusting certain geometry parameters (steering angle, seat angle, wheelbase, reach, or stack) to customize its performance.

And here’s the best part: it comes equipped with an Öhlins suspension set. The coil spring shock absorber, an Öhlins TTX22 Coil unit, resembles those found in top-tier competitive downhill bikes. At the front, a stylish Öhlins RXF38 m.3 fork is ready to handle whatever challenges it faces.

But there’s more: lightweight carbon fiber wheels have been chosen, specifically the popular DT Swiss HXC1200. The transmission is equally impressive, being SRAM’s most premium option, the electronic-driven XX AXS. The brakes are also noteworthy, being exclusive SRAM MAven Ultimate brakes.

Finally, let’s talk about the price: it is 10,999 euros. Is that much? If we compare this Lyth 00 Plus to models with similar specifications available on the market, it performs very well. Yet it remains a considerable amount. Nevertheless, with its outstanding specifications, this Lyth 00 Plus will delight even the most discerning enduro enthusiasts.
