OHM Journey

Three drive-and-battery choices define the OHM Journey: Shimano's EP500 with a 531 Wh battery, the stronger EP600 with the same battery, or the EP600 paired with a 708 Wh pack for longer days. Every version shares a 100 mm coil fork with lockout, a step-through or step-over frame, and a rear carrier, lights and fenders.

Highlights

• Pick your drive: the EP500 makes 60 Nm and the EP600 makes 85 Nm; OHM rates both at 250 W continuous and 500 W peak, with assist to 32 km/h on Canadian bikes.
• Pick your battery: 531 Wh, fully integrated in the frame, or 708 Wh with the EP600. The brand quotes up to 150 km and up to 200 km respectively, and 100–120 km or 130–150 km in typical Vancouver riding.
• Suspension and tires: an SR Suntour XCM34-Boost coil fork with 100 mm of travel and lockout, on 27.5 x 2.25 in Schwalbe Hurricane tires.
• Brakes and gears: Shimano dual-piston hydraulic discs with a 203 mm front and 180 mm rear rotor, plus Shimano CUES 9-speed gearing with an 11-46T cassette.
• Ready to ride: an integrated rear carrier rated for 25 kg, Lezyne lights with a 300-lumen front lamp, fenders and a kickstand; OHM lists the bike at 27.1 kg.

Who it suits

Riders whose week mixes commuting with gravel roads, trails and overnight trips, and who want to match torque and battery size to their riding. Sizes S, M and L, in either frame style.
