The 'Dusty' gravel e-bikes make use of a rear hub motor that is capable of churning out just over 40 pounds-feet of torque, while the battery mechanism provides a range of up to 180 km on a full charge. Elsewhere, these gravel e-bikes offer pedal assist that isn't one-size-fits-all in its workings but is rather applied in a progressive manner relative to the rider's pedalling force and frequency. These impressive gravel e-bikes are available in three different models that range in price from $6,499 for the 'R' version to $7,599 for the mid-tier 'RR' and $11,999 for the high-end 'XR' bike.
