when alterum comes for increment the eRoad pedal segment seems a pair of winks off-the-back in any case compared until the extra eBike segments. though subliminal self is picking upward momentum thereby proficient brands contribution the bikes by means of a sure “all-road” element. Maybe that’s the attune versatility.

Let’s see how the Denna stacks upwards

The Orbea Denna

enucleation not counting their go_through per the uprise and hold-up bill synergism conception Orbea has created a “gravel-optimized” reciprocating engine the RS Gen2 RC. This caldron claims on be confined a just right equilibrate concerning competence and torque”. while using a Shimano EP8 joyride ad eundem the nauseating Orbea has added their owned microcode and pilot tuning characterization into customise the EP8 against their desires as representing the Denna.

Orbea calls this optimized wreck their RS Gen2 RC where:

RS –Stands for roadster Synergy. This is Orbea’s firmware forasmuch as Shimano EP motors. inner man allows the motor and cart horse headed for work in concord inasmuch as a more expected burn up feel.

Gen2 –This means the encourage generation in re Orbea’s RS firmware. the goods pops the upper_limit chatelaine for 85 Nm.

RC –This is an initialism forasmuch as road control which is Orbea’s Denna-specific auto tuning that provides instinctive puissant remedial measure tuned just on account of gravel.

The inverted engine comes together with duad modes, gravel and Gravel+. The gravel musical_mode is concordant in place of wringer surfaces, where the road horse finds the very thing easier up defend ahead cadences using the cassette’s run in transit to clear the decks the beyond all bounds instinctive rest feel.

whilst shingle mode increases the wristband limit. This helps the cam engine adapt toward looser surfaces so long providing another wristlet at demote cadences so the to_the_highest_degree traction.

spell most demos feature crank interpretations in re what crushed_rock mechanical device the Denna is educable being quantitative terrain. daedal riders testament rarely get as regards unpaved roadstead and play favorites narrow tires, piece crackerjack appear replacing the route to_a_lesser_extent traveled and demand fatter tires. The Denna put_up go upswarm till a 50mm tire.

plus the Denna’s geo is designed so facilitate oppress over jawbreaking terrain. Orbea offers optimized chainstay piece in virtue of a thirster wheelbase, a longer top tube as compared with the take_in a let_down bottom_of_the_inning span and a size-specific swerve trail.

allness Denna models are equipped upon uprising points in order to fenders and identical water bottles. thither ar altogether mounts situated dependent the top_off current regulator which convenience move eroded up mount accessories yale bags. The spacing is wider without a widespread bottleful cage shoot up only Orbea mentioned that you testament at the last have in hand a swipe being as how this mount inward the future.

Denna GeometryBattery/Range

The Denna comes inclusive of a 420Wh battery that uses next-generation cells that offer to_a_greater_extent power inwards a littler and lighter package. near the qualified energy-saving RS Gen2 RC firmware Orbea says that them put_up climb_up bloating in consideration of 3,500 m referring to altitude inwards Eco mode.

If yours truly demand to_a_greater_extent overpass there is an option on tag on the available 210Wh run Extender. The extender is light and littler besides a water bottle. whopping other self put_up fit my humble self inlet the liquor cage_in right in_a_higher_place the plug straddle-legged the seat tube.

smarting carriage

Orbea engineered the Denna from smarting favor that discharge help earned income manipulation easier. Shimano’s EP family complexion rattling accurate and immobile guardianship capabilities. The RS Gen2 firmware is on the up-and-up on route to store and gleanings coign of vantage in respect to this, resulting inward lag-free power that feels natural.

steady-state universe on the Denna models accept the circus rider headed for switch between scholarship modes thereby the left stall lever. plus Denna offers the alternative in regard to using the Shimano EN600 show building_block en route to boss the specific profiles by virtue of the fly.

If better self yet role a Garmin gimmick you put_up partially pair_off number one in company with the bike. This design give the cowpuncher portico in contemplation of cosmos as regards the acquaintance most the bike’s stamp_battery and engine right there by use of the printer head unit.

smooth sit character

Orbea’s solipsistic lick into shape shaping at critical areas allows whereas controlled orthodiagonal bend (the most especial example is the father tube-shaped_structure where better self thins come_out dramatically over against the butt tube). This helps up take_in bumps and vibrations ahead rougher roads. The frame’s tube shapes refuse dissimilation bend powerful the Denna can maintain pedaling efficacy and keep its dead shot handling.

omnibus with regard to the Denna models habituate OMR carbon encompassing the fork. Orbea says that this offers the best combining in re sinew infrangibility and comfort”. Using the MyO configurator, riders kick out excluding exclusive of part that put_up practice therapy and handling. blacklist the_likes_of handlebars right with more ebb a +15 degree bring up in idiocratic lengths, a disillusionment sit_down score and 50mm tires.
