Denna is designed for those who seek to explore new territories and push their limits. Building on the success of Gain and Terra, Denna is a gravel-focused e-Road bike that offers gravel-tuned assistance, wide tire clearance, and a smooth ride. This bike is all about removing limits and providing power for steep climbs, traction for loose surfaces, and range for long rides.

At the core of Denna's performance is its Shimano E-Bike System. This system balances power and torque for gravel riding, ensuring a smooth ride on dirt, gravel, or any other terrain. The motor is optimized for gravel riding, making Denna a competent mid-drive e-Road bike. The Shimano EP801 RS motor delivers up to 85Nm of torque through customization using the E-TUBE PROJECT Cyclist app, providing ample power for challenging climbs and rough terrain. The motor is also lightweight, weighing only 2.6kg, which helps maintain the bike's agility and handling.

The Orbea Denna comes equipped with either a GRX or a DEORE XT Di2 groupset—for lightning-fast electronic shifting.

Denna is equipped with proprietary batteries that offer higher energy density, resulting in more range for less weight. The 420Wh battery allows up to 3500 meters of climbing, and the optional 210Wh Range Extender provides even more power. Thanks to the clever SBS design and latest generation cells, these batteries are some of the lightest and slimmest on the market. The battery management system (BMS) ensures optimal performance and longevity by monitoring and balancing the cells during charging and discharging.

The design and layup of Denna's OMR carbon frame introduce controlled flex, smoothing out rough surfaces without losing composure or draining energy. The tube shapes allow vertical flex but resist lateral flex, enhancing stability and comfort. The shorter seat tube with a relaxed angle optimizes vibration absorption and vertical compliance. The carbon fork uses a robust crown, rounded blade profile, and longer fork legs for enhanced comfort and control. The frame also features internal cable routing for a clean look and reduced maintenance.

Denna offers a clean cockpit, allowing riders to focus on the adventure ahead. With the SHIMANO EN600 display via MyO, you can gain real-time data about your ride. Denna models come ready with fender mounting points for secure mounting of a wide range of fenders. The Denna-specific fenders allow for up to 45c tires. Additionally, the entire Denna carbon family is eligible for MyO paint personalization, allowing riders to create a bike that is truly unique to their preferences. The MyO system also offers various ergonomic options like stems, handlebars, and seatposts to suit your needs.
