Orbea Gain + MAHLE X20: a natural eRoad experience

Partnership focused on rider experience

Orbea’s Gain paired with the MAHLE X20 System is designed for riders who want the responsiveness and purity of a road bike with subtle, well-matched assistance. The goal is simple: keep the essence of road cycling, cadence, control and handling—while adding just enough support to enjoy longer climbs and bigger days out.

Natural assistance, true road feel

The X20 System delivers up to 65 Nm of torque and 275 W peak power in a compact rear-hub drive unit (1.39 kg), contributing to a total system weight of approximately 3 kg. This lightweight configuration helps the Gain maintain its road geometry and a free-pedalling sensation at higher speeds, with quiet, discreet assistance when it’s needed most. Torque and cadence sensing at the bottom bracket read rider input precisely, while adaptive control adjusts the level of support to match your effort and terrain.

Integration that stays out of the way

Full system integration keeps the Gain clean and cohesive—cables, sensors and display are tucked in and purposeful. The compact Head Unit combines Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity with a brightness sensor and a 3‑axis accelerometer, making essential ride data accessible without distraction. The result is an eRoad platform that looks and feels indistinguishable from a high-performance road bike, until the assistance steps in.

Autonomy built for big elevation

Orbea positions the Gain as an eRoad bike for meaningful days out, with riders able to tackle more than 4,000 m of cumulative elevation gain. Battery options include internal iX2 (236 Wh) or iX3 (350 Wh), both compatible with the External Battery eX1 (171 Wh). Together, they expand usable range up to 200 km, with the X Active 4A charger enabling rapid top-ups (to 80% in under two hours for the internal battery). Whether training, exploring or riding in hilly terrain, the system prioritises real-world autonomy over headline numbers.

Handling and geometry come first

Great eRoad bikes must ride like great road bikes. The Gain’s road-focused geometry, stiffness and weight distribution, combined with the X20 System’s unobtrusive assistance, preserve cornering precision, out-of-the-saddle stability and a reactive feel on rolling terrain. It’s a bike you can race on Sunday and take for a long, exploratory midweek ride, simply choosing how much support you want.

Personalisation and model choice

Orbea’s MyO configurator lets riders tailor aesthetics and specifications, with finishes such as Carbon Raw, Dark Green, Golden Sand (Gloss), Lilac (Matt), Digital Lavender and Spicy Lime (Gloss). That flexibility pairs with X20 System components, from the Head Unit and Pulsar ONE display to eShifters, Duo Remote and selectable torque sensing, to create a setup that suits training goals, terrain and riding style.
