ESCAPE THE EVERYDAY - The best tools are ones you use daily – the perfect bike is one that fits seamlessly with your many needs. Tireless, capacious and effortless,
Kemen goes beyond simple utility by turning ebike rides into delightful mini-adventures. Whizz through the morning traffic, breath fresh air on your way to work, let Kemen take the strain so you don't break a sweat. After work take the long way home, escape the bike lane and have an urban adventure.
Highlights:
- The highly-optimised 540Wh main battery combined with the highly efficient EP6 motor gives enough pedalling assistance for over 5 hours of city riding, even with a fully loaded bike.
- The Shimano EP6 motor gives Kemen plenty of power for the steepest roads and the heaviest loads. The EP6 motor's 85Nm is more than enough to get you up to speed quickly and whisk you to work without breaking a sweat. The EP6 motor also offers one of the lowest pedalling friction of any ebike motor, meaning you can even pedal the bike with the motor off.
- Advanced and lightweight hydroformed triple butted aluminium frame with high polish frame finish that not only produces a sleek look, matching the aesthetics of a carbon frame, it also increases fatigue resistance in critical areas.
- Integrated cable routing, lights, kickstand, mudguards and rear rack.
- Smooth riding SR Suntour XCR34 air fork.
Power and autonomy without sweating a drop
Orbea has designed the Kemen around the Shimano EP6 motor, with 85Nm of torque. Unlike the highly acclaimed Rise or Urrun, Kemen is equipped with Shimano's standard software to offer great power. You can climb the steepest grades or carry the heaviest loads, even when fully equipped.
Orbea's engineering team has combined this motor with the 540 Wh battery released in its award-winning Rise. The battery's interior is comprised of 21700 cells that optimise energy density. In other words, it houses more energy in less volume. Its complete integration in the frame reduces the weight and improves frame stiffness, which translates into better and easier bike handling.
All this also results in unbeatable efficiency, achieving high autonomy ranges of up to 5 hours of pedalling. Additionally, Kemen has the option of mounting a 252 Wh Range Extender. To charge both batteries, the internal battery or the Range Extender, it is only necessary to use Orbea's smart charger. This charger extends the life of the battery up to 30% by adapting the charge to 2 or 4 amps based on different factors such as temperature, the state of the cells or the number of charge cycles consumed.
All-terrain geometry and premium aluminium frame
The geometry of a bike is what makes it stable or twitchy, balanced or unstable, and is especially important for a bike designed to carry loads. Kemen offers a comfortable and stable position, with easy and intuitive handling.
The premium aluminium frame is manufactured through Orbea's hydroforming process and uses triple butted tubing. Thus, the wall thickness is perfected at specific points of the frame to reduce weight and reinforce any areas subject to greater tension. As if that wasn't enough, Orbea has applied polished welding technology, giving an impeccable finish and improving the performance of the frame. All this is in addition to the frame's standard lifetime warranty.
Distinct smart solutions
Kemen brings with it several cutting-edge technologies aimed at simplifying design and removing unnecessary weight from the entire bike. The integrated battery eliminates weight and allows for a slimmer, better-looking design.
Utilising innovative ways to integrate systems and remove unnecessary clutter, the internal cable system routes all brake, light, gear and motor control cables inside the handlebar and frame, keeping them safe from damage and integrating them in the sleek design.
To move safely through the streets, front and rear lights are included. Cleverly, the Lezyne rear light emits more lumens during braking to warn drivers of your actions, while there's a powerful 310 lumen front light plus an additional daytime running light integrated in the headtube.
Kemen also comes standard with a kickstand strong enough to support the bike even when loaded.
