Why the S12

The one for where the pavement stops

The Orox is not a school run bike and we are not going to sell it as one. It is a 27.5 by 4 inch fat tire cargo bike built to haul a load down a fire road. Lincoln Woods, the unpaved stretches along the Blackstone, a trailhead with two weeks of camping gear on the back. That is what this is for.

What an S12 is

Shimano Deore 1×12 with an XT derailleur and a 10 to 51 tooth cassette. That bottom gear is the whole point. Loaded, on a climb, on loose ground, you want a gear that low and a chain drivetrain you can fix anywhere.

Bosch Performance Line CX on the Smart System, 85 Nm, 340% assist, with a 725 Wh battery and a second bay ready to fill. Kiox 300 color display, eBike Alarm and GPS tracking.

Read this before you buy one for the city

It is 81.8 lb before you put anything on it, and four inch tires are slow and heavy on pavement. If you are never leaving the road, the GSD P10 carries the same kids, costs the same during the sale, and is a far better city bike.

Buy the Orox because you actually go off road. Not because it looks like it could.

Or step up to the R14

The Orox R14 is $2,000 more and swaps the chain for a Rohloff 14 speed hub on a Gates belt, plus an 800 Wh battery. Sealed drivetrain, nothing exposed to mud. If you ride it hard and year round, that is the version that pays for itself.

What makes it an S12?

  • Shimano Deore XT 1 x 12-speed groupset for fast and precise shifting
  • 27.5″ stud-compatible Vee Snowball tires take on even the toughest conditions
