Coboc is expanding its urban e-bike line with a new model: the Torino GRV is designed to be even "gravelier" and is ready for any adventure as an all-rounder with an electric drive. Coboc's Urban line stands for e-bikes with a minimalist design, fast acceleration and low weight. These models are primarily designed for urban traffic, but are also suitable for trips outside urban areas, depending on the model.
Coboc's E-gravel bike Torino now even "gravelier"
Since 2019, the Torino has been one of the first urban e-bikes from Coboc with gravel ambitions. The sporty Torino GRV has now been added to the product range as the agile brother of the original model. The frame of the Torino GRV is designed for tyres with a width of 40 millimetres to ensure optimum grip on gravel.
The necessary propulsion on the mountain is provided by the in-house CBC02 motor with sensor technology in the bottom bracket. The model in the colour "Walter White" has pronounced gravel genes and is aimed at a sporty community that also attaches importance to suitability for everyday use.

Coboc Torino gets next expansion stage
Apart from differences in the frame, the tyres and additional eyelets, the Torino and the Torino GRV share the same basic equipment: the battery and most of the cables are integrated in the frame in line with the Coboc Urban Line. The electric motor is mounted on the rear wheel hub - just like on the Coboc Brooklyn FAT.
The Supernova front light with 235 lumen output is integrated almost invisibly into the stem, while the patented LED rear light is built into the seat tube.
Shimano GRX 11-speed drivetrain as a game changer?
With a Shimano GRX 11-speed drivetrain with a 40-speed chainring at the front and an 11-42 cassette, the Torino can be ridden on long tours as well as at reasonably high altitudes or high speeds - both with and without the motor switched on beyond the electrically assisted 25 km/h limit.

The Coboc drive offers power peaks of up to 500 watts and works harmoniously with the rider from the rear hub. The Shimano disc brakes ensure safe braking manoeuvres - whether in or out of urban traffic.
