Shimano STePS E5000 – 40 Nm

Reliable and exceptionally quiet electric assistance is provided by the energy-efficient Shimano STePS E5000 mid-drive motor with 40 Nm of torque, which ensures smooth and very natural support while pedaling. A fully integrated Darfon battery with a capacity of 504 Wh provides plenty of power for long hours in the saddle .

You can easily manage all key data and individual drive settings via the Shimano SC-E6100 display, which also features Bluetooth technology for wireless pairing with the E-Tube mobile app.

Fun “Gravel Fun” Geometry and Rigid Fork

The bike is built around a heat-treated 6061-T6 aluminum frame, whose special Gravel Fun geometry provides the rider with enhanced comfort and maximum confidence in handling during steep climbs and challenging descents. To achieve the lowest possible weight and excellent power transfer, the bike is equipped with a rigid aluminum fork. The frame is also ingeniously protected by a premium Acros headset with Block Lock technology, which reliably prevents damage to the tubes from accidentally twisted handlebars.

Shimano GRX components and WTB tires

Flawless shifting on any terrain is ensured by the 11-speed Shimano GRX RD-RX812 rear derailleur with an 11–42-tooth cassette, which is specifically designed for the unique demands of gravel riding. Precise and completely reliable stopping power comes from powerful hydraulic brakes from the same gravel-proven Shimano GRX groupset , equipped with 160mm rotors. A brisk ride is supported by 29-inch wheels with durable WTB rims and 1.75-inch-wide WTB Riddler Comp tires, which feature a reflective strip for your increased safety on the road.

Touring Features and a Comfortable Cockpit

Maximum comfort even during all-day rides is guaranteed by the anatomical WTB SL8 Comp saddle combined with the One1 suspension aluminum seatpost, which elegantly absorbs minor vibrations from the terrain. The cockpit features compact 420mm-wide handlebars with reflective Velo grips and a sturdy stem. This model also boasts a complete Touring package for immediate travel, so it comes factory-equipped witha sturdyrear rack with AVS mounting, high-quality aluminum fenders, an integrated AXA Block XXL frame lock, a practical Atran Velo kickstand, and powerful lighting consisting of an AXA Compactline 20 headlight and a Spanninga taillight.

This top-of-the-line bike is ideal for riders who want a fast, lightweight, and exceptionally well-equipped touring e-bike. Its main advantage is its incredible versatility, combining the ease of gravel riding with a full range of practical features, making it perfect for both long bikepacking expeditions and brisk, safe commutes to work in any weather.
