Summary
The Orbea Gain is a lightweight endurance e-road bike featuring the Mahle X20 hub drive motor for smooth, natural power delivery that enhances rather than dominates the riding experience. Its geometry is optimized for balanced handling and comfort, with clearance for wider tires and integrated lights for practicality. Reviews highlight its ability to provide substantial assistance while maintaining a natural ride feel, making it ideal for extended rides and varied terrain.
Lightweight Mahle X20 hub drive motor for stealthy power boost
Natural and smooth power delivery with gradual assistance
Optimized geometry for balanced handling and comfort
Integrated front and rear lights for safety
Customizable options through Orbea's MyO program
Heavier than some high-end e-road bikes
Limited tire clearance to 35mm despite claims of up to 40mm
Firmer rear feel due to hub motor weight
Higher-end builds can be expensive
Orbea gives their versatile Gain road & gravel ebike a lighter and stealthy power boost with an upgrade to the Mahle X20 – the 'lightest e-bike drive system on the market'
BikerumorThe Gain’s ride feel outclasses every e-road bike I’ve tested in the past
BikeRadarIt’s intended to allow you to get out and still have a decent intensity cardio workout, but without going into the red – more like you’re just having a really good day on the bike, as opposed to feeling superhuman.

Orbea is staying true to their legacy of designing eye-catching bikes, and here they’ve created another work of art with the Gain M20i e-road bike. Orbea took many details into account when heading to the drawing board on the latest version of their e-road machine.

High stability
Intuitive and good-natured handling
Light integration
MyO customisation
Comfort imbalance between front and rear
Sometimes unnatural power output of motor due to its lack of a torque sensor

A great ride and visual control of the motor’s support level from the bars
Well specced
Head unit to control and monitor motor
