The 2026 Giant Explore E+ 1 in Metallic Navy is the ultimate hybrid e-bike for riders who demand precision, power, and premium features. Designed for long-distance trekking, gravel exploration, and urban commuting, it combines advanced motor support with high-end drivetrain technology for a ride that’s smooth, smart, and ready for anything.
At the heart of the Explore E+ 1 is the SyncDrive Sport 2 motor, delivering 75Nm of torque for confident acceleration and hill-climbing ease. Paired with the EnergyPak Smart 800Wh battery, it offers extended range and up to 2300 charge cycles—ideal for daily use and weekend escapes. Smart Assist technology automatically adjusts motor output based on terrain and rider input, ensuring intuitive and efficient support.
Instead of a belt drive, this model features the Shimano CUES Di2 electronic shifting system, offering precise, low-maintenance gear changes with a clean cockpit and seamless integration. Combined with the elevated chainstay frame design, it delivers a quiet, efficient drivetrain that’s built for durability and performance.
Safety and connectivity are built in. The Aegis system includes E-Lock with alarm, Apple Find My tracking, and the Aegis Tyre Checker for real-time pressure monitoring. Radar-ready integrated lighting enhances visibility and awareness, while the RideDash Evo 2 display and RideControl Ergo 4 remote provide intuitive control and ride data.
Finished in a deep Metallic Navy colourway, the Explore E+ 1 features a one-piece rear carrier with MIK HD compatibility—perfect for bags, baskets, or child seats. With mounts for fenders, kickstands, and touring accessories, this bike is ready for any journey.
