The electric gravel bike that takes you further, longer, and with more control

Electric gravel is no longer experimental territory. And if there were any doubts, Orbea has just cleared them up with its new Denna, an e-bike designed for those who aren't content with asphalt or the usual trails. Lightweight, powerful, and highly capable in terms of range, the Denna is built to break boundaries.

Designed from the ground up to meet the demands of gravel riding , it combines optimized geometry, an advanced carbon frame, and electric assistance specifically tuned for this type of use. Orbea promises more control, more comfort, and more possibilities.

The heart of the system is the Shimano EP801 RS mid-drive motor, a familiar favorite that's fine-tuned to the millimeter thanks to the brand's own RS Gen2 firmware. It delivers up to 85 Nm of torque and responds instantly, without jerks or delays. It features two dedicated assistance modes, called Gravel and Gravel+. Everything can be customized using the Shimano E-Tube app.

The internal 420 Wh battery allows for ascents of up to 3,500 meters in Eco mode. If that's not enough, there's a 210 Wh range extender—smaller than a water bottle and only 1.05 kg—that lets you extend your route without compromising weight or aesthetics.

With that level of performance, it's no surprise that the Denna isn't an entry-level bike. Orbea offers it in six versions, with prices starting at €5,499 for the simplest configuration (M30) and going up to €9,999 for the most equipped models (M10i and M11e). The range of options is designed to accommodate different levels of demand and use.

The Denna is constructed from OMR carbon, weighing just 1.2 kg in size M. The structure is designed to absorb vibrations and impacts without losing rigidity or efficiency, thanks to key points of controlled vertical flex. This translates into a smooth ride, less fatigue, and more confidence, even on technical terrain.

The geometry achieves balanced weight distribution, with a low center of gravity for easy handling. The fork, also made of OMR carbon, allows room for wide tires, up to 5 centimeters. This allows you to choose between greater traction and comfort, or better performance on the road, depending on your preferences.

The design isn't limited to performance. It also considers real-world use. All models come with fender mounts and two bottle cages. The Denna H version adds mounting points for a rear rack. It also includes practical details like an integrated seat clamp, a UDH-compatible dropout, and the option to mount a setback seatpost for improved posture and comfort.

The raised handlebar reinforces its adventurous appeal, as it is designed to offer greater control on long, demanding descents.

With the MyO program, Orbea allows you to customize the Denna, choosing handlebars, wheels, tires, stem, or seatpost, among other options. It also offers several finishes, including metallic olive green, pearl white, or the striking tanzanite carbon.

Four versions are available (M10i, M20i, M31e, and M11e), with a total weight ranging from 13 to 16 kg depending on the build. But despite this variety of options, they all share the same philosophy: giving the rider the freedom to go further, for longer, and with more control.
