Persei R7 Carbon Gravel E-Bike: Lightweight Power for Endless Adventure

 

The true spirit of gravel riding lies in freedom — discovering roads beyond the pavement, conquering climbs once thought impossible, and exploring without limits. The Persei R7 Carbon Gravel E-Bike blends elite gravel performance with intelligent electric assistance, delivering a lightweight, high-performance riding experience for adventure seekers, endurance cyclists, and modern commuters alike.

Built with a full carbon fiber frame, a powerful Bafang mid-drive motor, and the SRAM Rival XPLR AXS wireless electronic drivetrain, the Persei R7 is designed to excel on gravel roads, steep mountain climbs, and urban streets with speed, precision, and confidence.


Lightweight Carbon Construction: Ride Faster, Ride Further

At approximately 13.9kg, the Persei R7 stands out as one of the lightest carbon gravel e-bikes in its category. Its full carbon frame and fork are engineered to provide the ideal balance of stiffness, responsiveness, and vibration damping for smooth control across rough terrain.

Every line of the frame is optimized for aerodynamic efficiency while maintaining long-distance riding comfort. Whether climbing mountain passes, riding rough gravel roads, or commuting through the city, the Persei R7 delivers stable handling and all-day riding confidence.

Why Riders Love the Carbon Gravel Frame

    • Lightweight climbing efficiency for easier ascents
    • Direct power transfer with every pedal stroke
    • Reduced road vibration for all-day comfort
    • Stable control on loose gravel terrain
    • Aerodynamic gravel bike design with a sleek modern aesthetic

The fully integrated cockpit and internal cable routing not only improve aerodynamics but also create a sleek and minimalist appearance.


Bafang Mid-Drive Motor: Natural Power That Feels Like an Extension of Your Legs

At the heart of the Persei R7 is a Bafang 250W mid-drive motor capable of producing up to 80Nm of torque. It delivers smooth and responsive pedal assistance exactly when you need it, making steep gravel climbs feel remarkably manageable.

Unlike traditional hub-drive systems, the mid-drive motor applies power directly through the drivetrain, creating a more natural riding sensation and significantly improving climbing traction and efficiency.
