Pushing the e-road range envelope

[Yako]

Just been handed BH’s 2027 iRS1 with the new SEG BLM motor and 630Nm battery. It weighs 13kg. This is the first of probably a number of videos about it. I find it an exciting prospect, particularly for those that need a fair amount of assistance, as it can provide 600% of rider input and has 700W. The version I rode would hit 12.5kg with a wheelset swap.

Good to see you back on the drops Yako, though your commuter-type bikes were v interesting in your recovery and as usual, you gave some v entertaining reviews.

That BH looks pure slippery loveliness!

It really is Rás! I was hoping my recovery would give me the excuse to try many more styles of e-bike, but here I am back on a drop-bar bike already. It’s simply not fair ;-)
Orbea are dropping something new in January, I believe too. Hoping to get An invite to the factory…

Orbea huh. What motor I wonder. Could be anything!

They won’t say, but my guess is a new mid motor Gain. Could be the HPR40 but Orbea are rarely followers, so who knows?!

They were quick enough to jump on the Avinox bandwagon with the Wild, leaving the Rise with the new Shimano EP810 (lighter). So hard to know, but a Gain with a mid drive and that mid drive a TQ40 would be very interesting!
