Who is this bike suitable for?
The Orbea Gain D40 road electric bikes are suitable for all riders looking for that extra 'Gain'. Designed to amplify your ride & expand on what you already do. The Orbea Gain road eBikes offer a lightweight/affordable alternative to any other road eBike on the market.
This bike is everything I was looking for in an e-bike. As an experienced cyclist, I didn't want to lose the "real feel" of cycling, I just wanted something to take the sting out of some of the climbs and this is exactly what the Orbea does.
New Features
The 2020 Orbea Gain D40 is designed to enhance your ride, not take over it. Your hard work is enhanced for more miles in the saddle.
Don't expect full power take over, expect 'Enough Power' to transform your ride smoothly and subtly.
All distractions have been eliminated for you to focus on the road ahead. You can switch between modes at the press of a button to further enhance your riding experience.
The Orbea Gain D40 is fully kitted out with a Shimano Tiagra group set, offering a 2 x 10 setup for complete gear range flexibility when out on the road.
A lightweight and agile bike that can be ridden both on power & 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....
Power On Demand
The cleverly integrated power button on the Orbea Gain is situated in the top tube for easy reach.
It's used to navigated the 3 power modes and also displays the bikes battery level too.
Using the smart phone application further enhances the ride for those all important rider credentials.
Featuring ride and activity tracking, you Gain full control. A valuable tool for any road cyclist looking for the complete package.
You can utilise GPS route uploading too. Just ride & explore.
Hidden Power
Most noticeable on any eBike is the battery. Not on the Orbea Gain, the battery is cleverly hidden in the frame.
It's designed to give 'Enough Power' not more, hence it can be smaller and more compact.
The Gain D40 2020 lightweight alloy frame and carbon forks offer a smooth, comfortable and nimble ride.
Combined with a Prologo road saddle, shock proof bar tape and carbon seat post for longer periods in the saddle.
The Shimano Tiagra hydraulic disc brakes ensure you can come to a stop as fast as you accelerate on this eRoad bike.
Drive System
The new drive system offers smooth and reliable assistance to enhance your ride, not dominate it.
By locating the motor cleverly in the wheel it completely disengages for a drag-free pedalling experience.
Lightweight alloy rims are agile but strong, wrapped with fast rolling Hutchinson All Seasons road tyres on the Gain D40.
The Orbea Gain D40 2020 is built with maximum clearance, so a multitude of tyre sizes can be fitted up to 40c if required.
The new D40 is even versatile enough that it even features pannier rack and full mudguard eyelets. Should you wish to turn your Gain into a commute or light weight touring bike.
Range Extender
The all new optional Range Extender charges the main internal battery when connected to your Orbea Gain. The range extender is a neat bottle design which attaches to the bottle cage mounts on the Orbea frame.
It has a capacity of 208Wh which increases overall capacity to over 450Wh when attached, giving a 70% boost to the overall range.
We offer the Gain in 3 spec variants. This D40 model is the base spec, the Gain D30 is the Shimano 105 equipped option. The Orbea Gain D20 model taking over with upgraded handlebars / stem and a full Shimano Ultegra 11 speed gear setup and matching brakes.
Hidden Orbea Gain X35 eSystem
The best bit about the Orbea Gain electric road bikes is the completely 'hidden' eDrive system. Developed closely with eBikeMotion & Orbea in Spain, the system is designed to amplify your ride.
Designed to not take away 'the ride' but to gain on what you are doing. Extra watts allow the rider to climb bigger ascents and average a faster overall speed. A more enjoyable all round experience!
Offering 3 modes of assist - Controllable by the multi-function power button on the top tube.
Furthermore, full rider credentials are displayed in the Smart Phone (not essential) application including speed, distance travelled, altitude, battery capacity, trip time, to name just a few.
You can even link up Bluetooth heart rate monitors or simply connect your Android or iWatch to run alongside for the full sporting package.
Finally accessories include a 'Range Extender' plug & play, bottle cage power pack for double range.

I’ve got plenty of miles in my legs and then I had a cardiac arrest. I’ve now got an eHeart (defibrillator) but I don’t want to overcook it on the lumps. This is perfect. Still riding but not into the red.

As a seasoned cyclist that no longer enjoyed a stiff hill climb or long winding gradients but still looking to be enjoying cycling but unable to avoid the hills in my area I was looking for an e bike but the big hefty bulky bikes didn't appeal to me also I didn't need full power and here is where my Orbea gain comes into its own brilliant bike lightweight for an e bike and secluded battery which gives me what I want takes the sting out of the hills and puts the joys back into cycling

My wife wanted to be able to find a bike where she could get out and enjoy the ride. She has previously felt disheartened as where we live in Wales she struggles in the hilly terrain. We looked at the Orbea gain for some time and all the research we did suggested this would be a credible option for her. We then decided on the model and decided the Gain D40 with a tiagra group set was a suitable choice. It was a struggle to find anyone who could deliver before the end of July. That was before I stumbled upon ebikeshop.co.uk, during a google search and subsequently started communicating with Alfred.
Ebike shop had a Gain D40 in stock at the right size for my wife. We spoke on the phone on a Saturday with Alfred and by Thursday she had taken delivery and was out testing it! The process to get to that stage was very smooth. Alfred was nothing but helpful and efficient at all stages, communicating very well, both by phone and email. He made everything clear, was a source of knowledge and acted quickly to get the bike to us.
The bike itself is amazing. I was slightly concerned when it arrived as it is a heavy bike, as its aluminium with carbon forks and has a battery motor, compared to my full carbon road bike, it was much heavier than I expected. This made me worry that my wife may struggle. My concerns melted away the first ride out! My wife could maintain a good pace on the flat, where the engine cuts out at 15mph, the bike rolls very well and there is minimal drag, generally travelling at circa 18mph, but then as we hit the hills the motor would kick in and the assistance was amazing and totally changed the ride experience for her. She still had to pedal, but all the grinding of a 10%+ gradient had gone, and she was able to spin nicely. The 3 power settings are ideal for her and will allow her to still maintain some level of power as she gets fitter and needs less extra power.
The bike does not look like an ebike at all, something that was important to my wife, you really cannot tell, other than the size of the rear wheel hub, as this is where the engine sits. The battery capacity is spot on, she is able to join me on rides up-to 50-60 miles and she can monitor the battery level through the app, so if it's over 50% then we can review our plan to ensure we get back home without running out.
So, in summary, a great bike bought through a customer-focused business, who know how to deal with distance buyers and Alfred, thank you very much for your support and advice!

This bike is everything I was looking for in an e-bike. As an experienced cyclist, I didn't want to lose the "real feel" of cycling, I just wanted something to take the sting out of some of the climbs and this is exactly what the Orbea does.
It just feels like riding with a tailwind on the flat and climbing still takes some effort but you get up to the top faster and, in my case, with a couple of gears to spare. The motor is just powerful enough to help, it wont give you a free ride.
The Orbea is still a road bike and you will find yourself way above the 25kmph cut off point very easily but it cuts off so smoothly you don't even notice that it has, there doesn't appear to be any drag from the motor when this happens and fast riding under your own steam is a joy. And it preserves battery life. I've managed 50km normal riding on rolling terrain and still had just under 50% left.
Love it. and also the service from Martin and the guys at Farnham. Thanks.
