Just at the beginning of this year, Orbea presented their very own interpretation of a modern urban bike with the Diem, which boasts a high level of integration — and which we have already tested in detail here.

Now, two new models based on the Kemen family are set to follow, which should also score with performance, intelligent design and personalization options. Until now, we have known the Kemen bikes as fairly lightweight SUV models equipped with a powerful Shimano mid-motor and a permanently installed battery. Now two new family members are following, each optimized for their specific use: the Kemen Tour and the Kemen Adventure.

Orbea Kemen Tour Adventure ADV Ruecklicht — Rear light integrated into the mudguard

Orbea Kemen Tour Adventure ADV Cockpit Smartphone — Rear light integrated into the mudguard

Both share the same frame platform, which offers a diamond frame with a high top tube as well as a comfort frame in a trapezoidal shape. The bikes also have a suspension fork and full commuter equipment, as we know it from the aforementioned Diem: So here too there is the integrated cockpit with smartphone holder, USB-C charging option, position light and the first-class Supernova headlight, which is built into the handlebars. A rear light is also integrated into the rear mudguard and there are several carrier options.

Kemen Tour and Kemen Adventure: these are the differences

While the Kemen Tour with its narrower road tires is designed more for speed and versatility at the start, the Kemen Adventure (Kemen ADV for short) also feels at home on rough terrain — thanks to its wide knobby tires and suspension fork with slightly more travel. Both model series are available in 3 versions:
