We are excited to show you a sneak preview of the world lightest carbon electric road bike. The new Orbea Gain Carbon 2019 eBike comes in at an unbelievable 11.3kg a revolution in the world of eRoad Bikes. We've had a fantastic year with the launch of the Orbea Gain electric road bikes with eBikes offered down to 13kg, which is almost unheard of in the world of electric biking. New for 2019 we expand the Orbea Gain electric road bike line up to include the Gain Carbon. An even lighter, more agile and special electric road bike than ever before.

Colours / Options
All Carbon Gain 2019 models are available in 5 sizes from Small (47cm) through to XL (57cm). The new 2019 Carbon Orbea Gain electric road bikes are available in 4 colour choices including Red, Blue, Black and Orange. On top of this clients can special order Carbon Gain eBikes in custom spec colours via the Orbea MyO custom configurator where the factory will produce one-off bikes painted in-house to the customers specified design.
The MyO custom configurator can also spec exact component requirements, tailored to each client. Please enquire if this is something of interest & we can run you through the options.
What do we think?
The current Orbea Gain alloy frame models took us by surprise, we've been overwhelmed with the popularity to date. No other eBike supplier ticks all those boxes when producing an electric road bike that's: Agile, Lightweight, Resistance Free, Fully Integrated and comes with full road groupsets.
We expect the demand to be even higher on the new 2019 Carbon bikes to complement to alloy frame models and to top it all off the pricing across the range is extraordinary.
In particular, we see the Shimano Ultegra Di2 model (Gain M20) with the fully integrated groupset on the Carbon frame to be one of the most popular models where the eShift completely complements the eDrive system - this is the future, but right now.
When can I get one?
We are taking behind the scenes orders to reserve bikes and we have already placed factory reservations here to ensure we are the first with stock to hand. Based on the expected popularity, we are taking reservations on a queued basis.
For those lucky to get on the list, we expect the first drop of bikes from August, September and October onwards (Depending on spec/size/colour). Bikes will be supplied on a first come first served basis. Models can be reserved with a small £399 deposit or payment upfront on MyO spec models.
