Who is this bike suitable for?
The 2021 Orbea Gain D20 is the top model in the Gain line-up from e-Bikeshop. The D20 offers premium componentry and a highly competitive price point and is a great value electric road bike whether you're a new rider entering the market on a bike with room to grow into it, or have tens of thousands of miles on your Strava account already. The Gain range, with its "Enough Energy" concept is designed to improve but not take over your ride. Lightweight, highly nimble and effortlessly rideable, the New Orbea Gain D20 is a bike which "heeds the call of the open road".
I have been riding the bike for a few weeks now and it's a real joy. Feels very like a normal road bike and the extra weight is not noticeable when on the move. Freewheeling is as per a normal bike with no drag from the transmission.
New Features
Along with the rest of the Gain range, the price of the 2021 Orbea Gain D20 has increased slightly over last year, but not without very good cause - the model has been dramatically overhauled for the new 2021 model year and offers exceptional value.
A brand new frame design while retaining the previous well proven geometry sees subtle changes to the hydroformed alloy tubing shape - increasing aerodynamic efficiency while shaving a little more weight from this already very light road eBike.
Along with a new headset design to fully integrate the gearshift cables and brake lines, Orbea have also designed a brand new integrated daytime running light directly into the base of the stem, now compatible across the full Gain and Vibe range. This is complemented at the rear of the bike with a bright but aesthetically unobtrusive tail light built into the seat tube and runs directly from the eBike battery system.
The 2021 Gain D20 also benefits from a newly designed full carbon front fork set up. A lightweight and agile bike that can be ridden both on power and fully disengaged off power. The visuals are so subtle that you'd find it hard to notice it's even a power assisted bike. Simple, subtle and embracing....
The D20, being at the top end of the specification level for the Gain range comes with a complete Shimano Ultegra group set. Ultegra twin chain ring cranks, Ultegra R8000 rear derailleur and cassette, ST8020 shifters and R8070 brakes make up this competition capable 22spd set-up.
Power On Demand
The IWOC One system on the Orbea Gain D20 sees the power and status button mounted completely flush in the top tube next to the stem for ease of access. This "one button for all" system is used for turning the bike on and off, cycling through power modes, displaying current power mode while also offering an at-a-glance visual of the remaining battery power.
The Ebikemotion X35 system used to power the Gain D20 models is directly compatible with their own app.
Turning your mobile device into a high tech cycle computer, it provides an instant readout of key information from both the bike and your own input. It also records your activity and can be linked to heart rate monitors and GPS for full performance tracking.
You can download the iOS version here, and the Android version here.
Hidden Power
Normally, the most noticeable component on an eBike is the Battery, but this isn't the case on the Orbea Gain models. Seamlessly integrated into the downtube, the 248Wh internal battery on the 2021 Orbea Gain D20 is hidden from view to provide a totally integrated and aesthetically immaculate look.
Built with Orbea's "Enough Energy" philosophy at the forefront of the design process, only by shaving off unnecessary weight by doing away with bulky components makes this level of integration possible.
The lightweight, hydroformed alloy frame and newly designed full carbon front fork on the Orbea Gain D20 2021 offer a smooth, comfortable yet playfully nimble ride.
Combined with a Selle Royale Asphalt saddle and shock proof bar tape, the frame offers a comfortable ride, regardless of how many miles you plan to cover.
The Shimano Ultegra M8070 hydraulic disc brakes ensure you can come to a stop just as quickly as you accelerate on this eRoad bike.
Ebikemotion X35 Motor
The latest Mahle Ebikemotion drive system offers smooth and reliable assistance to enhance and improve on your own ride but without dominating it. Orbea's Torque Simulation Algorithm directly mirrors the rider input to provide maximum power when you need it, but preserves range when you're spinning freely.
Lightweight Ready GR alloy rims from Blackjack are agile but strong, wrapped with fast rolling Hutchinson Fusion 5 All Seasons road tyres.
The Orbea Gain D20 2021 is built with maximum clearance, giving a huge choice of tyres of up to 40c width.
Range Extender
The 2021 Orbea Gain D20 is designed for all day epics, but some days demand even more from you. The optional Range Extender offers more miles, more hills and more achievements. The completely unique and patented range extender provides an additional 208Wh on top of the internal 248Wh battery, bringing total capacity to 450Wh - a 70% boost in range and saddle time.
Compatible with all Gain D, F, and M models as well as the full 2021 Orbea Vibe model line-up, we hold limited stock of this Orbea OEM product for our own eBike customers and you can find them here.
Hidden Orbea Gain X35 eSystem
Riding the bike aside, one of the best parts of the new 2021 Orbea Gain D20 electric road bikes is the completely 'hidden' eDrive system. Developed closely with eBikeMotion and Orbea at their Spanish HQ, the system is designed to amplify your ride.
Designed to not take away from the ride but to assist your performance, the extra 40Nm from the rear hub motor allows the rider to climb bigger ascents and average a faster overall speed.
3 Modes of Assistance - Controllable by the multi-function power button on the top tube.
Full rider credentials are displayed in the Smart Phone (not essential) application including speed, distance travelled, altitude, battery capacity, trip time and many more.
The smart phone app also has the functionality to pair Bluetooth heart rate monitors or simply connect your Android Wearable or iWatch to run alongside for the full sporting package.
Whats included?
This electric bike comes fully set-up by our workshop technicians. You can be sure that every aspect of the eBike has been dialled in for optimum performance. All our electric bikes arrive with a user manual, charger & free follow up service within 3 months.
Our electric bikes also include a 5yr warranty on the frame, 2yr warranty on all the electrics & 1yr warranty on the components. In the event of a problem, we handle all warranty claims in-house. We can also offer worldwide support for customers further afield.

Review submitted on previous model: I looked for ages for a light bike, this only 13K. So I can lift it. Its just like a normal bike to ride with a bit of a push up hill.
I have only used the first power, it has 2 more to go. I have had 4 new knees so need a short crank and this was done for me with with no bother.
But I do have a problem with the brakes I am 5 ft and have a small bike frame 47cm I think but I could not reach the brakes at all to start with, would have to have been a monkey with arms down by my knees.
At 5ft and size 3 shoe I also have small hands. All goes together. It has now been tweaked and I can just reach the top of the brake. So I can slow down but not stop in a hurry.
Seems strange that a small frame dose not come with small handlebars. One size dose not fit all.
But I love my bike I can keep up with my friends going up hill at 74 was getting difficult could get up but everyone had to wait for me, not good.

Review submitted on previous model: We bought the D20 so that my wife Norma could keep riding with me on my easier days and we can only say that it’s brought an amazing and fun element to her riding.
We go to Majorca every April/May with Stevenage CC and as you cannot take the bike on an aircraft we thought that she would have to hire a normal road bike as usual(a bit disappointing).
However after a bit of online searching we found that Wheelssport of Can Picafor and Alcudia have the D20 for hire.
Hope that this info is of use to someone.

Review submitted on previous model: Awesome service from E-Bike
Production of my bike was delayed a little but they kept me informed and got my new toy out to me as soon as they could, even offered me one they had in shop but was orange and Im just not good enough to merit riding a bright orange bike :)
Would recommend Martin and the team to anyone. Great service, great comms, top quality kit. 5 stars

Review submitted on previous model: I have been riding the bike for a few weeks now and it's a real joy.
Feels very like a normal road bike and the extra weight is not noticeable when on the move. Freewheeling is as per a normal bike with no drag from the transmission. When you're riding at about 16mph it feels a bit odd at first as you can feel the motor pulsing in and out as it goes over the speed cut-off point and then falls below; but I don't notice this now.

Controls take a few minutes to understand, but once on the move they are very simple and so easy to move between the different power maps.
The associated smartphone eBikemotion app is easy to set up and brilliant in that it allows tweaking of the power levels in each map. The downside is that although the data it gives on your smartphone is very similar to Garmin, on the eBikemotion website they are almost totally outrageous - av. speed 35mph and average cadence 146rpm? - I don't think so!
Why did I get an ebike? I've been riding/training/racing at elite masters level for quite a few years and recently developed a heart problem (arrhythmia) which has progressively made it impossible to get out for even a steady road ride on my trusty TCR. With a little help from the Orbea I can now comfortably sit on my wife's wheel (retired racer too) when out for a ride (with a little map tweaking) and if we hit any steep hills I can switch up into max power and considerably reduce the effort required. The range when out riding like this should be about 65 miles.
Any downsides? Well yes - I'm just fitting mudguards for the winter and most of the mounting threads have been oversprayed with paint (no problem for me as I have taps and dies to hand) and the front mudguard requires some significant mods to get an SKS to fit. Also, the rear wheel requires a bit of a knack to remove; I have found that the gear side wheel nut needs to be completely taken off the axle to get the wheel off and back in. Luckily I haven't had to do that out on the road yet. Lastly, the cables could have been set up a bit better when the bike was new - I have had to shorten both gear gear cables to prevent them ballooning out in the wind.
Overall - the bike is brilliant. Just looking very enviously at the 2019 carbon range though!
