Confluence Flat Bar ESSA 8 is our light gravel ebike that makes it easier to squeeze more adventures into each day. Ride to the ride, tack on those bonus miles, explore all the spur roads, or bring your mid-ride coffee setup without worrying about weight.
MAHLE’s X30 hub-drive motor is lightweight and discreet, with 45Nm of torque on tap for a confidence boost everywhere you ride. Confluence’s comfortable, stable geometry makes those extra miles and higher speeds feel natural.
