Pinarello Nytro E7 Road Road Bike

Introducing the Pinarello Nytro E7 e-bike for Road Riding

Balancing our desire to explore and reluctance to suffer too much is a lot easier on the Pinarello Nytro E7 e-bike for road riding. This updated design with a high quality carbon frame and lightweight, efficient TQ-HPR50 motor system combines a natural feeling pedal assist and quiet motor to enhance and help you extend your favorite rides.

For the Nytro E series, Pinarello have completely revamped the bikes, most importantly going with a new company for the motor system, TQ out of Germany. TQ stands for Technology in Quality, and even if that sounds a little like bad marketing Gringrish, they have succeeded in making an extremely lightweight, efficient, and natural feeling pedal assist system.

The TQ-HPR50 motor system used in the Nytro E7 road bike is not only super light at 3.9kg, but super quiet as well. It’s a mid-drive system with a small motor in the bottom bracket region with a design that provides an exceptionally natural feel, not only because it is so quiet, but also because it engages and disengages super rapidly. There’s not the usual lag followed by a kick of power. Simply begin to pedal and the system engages at the level you’ve set it, and as soon as you stop pedaling, the motor will also stop and allow you to coast naturally.

It can feel so natural since the TQ-HPR50 system includes sensors measuring the leg input on each side of the motor. This little innovation must have sounded like music to the Pinarello engineers who have long been committed to asymmetric designs. The TQ-HPR50 motor delivers up to 50 Nm of torque and 300 Watts of peak power. It uses a 360Wh battery and offers a fully integrated 2” display on the top tube. The TQ app allows you to customize what is shown on the display as well as the power output for each of the three levels of power.

With a 32mm max tire clearance, the Nytro E7 can offer a comfortable ride for hours on end. The battery life of the TQ-HPR50 system generally depends on how much power you are using, how much climbing you are doing, and even the temperature you are riding in. But you can buy a range extender that can be placed in the seat tube bottle cage and be plugged into the frame using the same port where you’ll recharge the battery.

High-Quality T900 Carbon Frame in the Pinarello E7 

For the carbon, they have chosen the Toray T900, which is the same carbon they are using on the Pinarello F7 non-electric road bike. It works well for this application thanks to its high tensile strength, ensuring the frame can withstand both your normal pedal power plus the amplified power provided by the motor. This grade of carbon also offers a great deal of vertical compliance to reduce vibration and rider fatigue on longer outings.

Pinarello turns to their asymmetric way of building up the carbon, giving the drivetrain side a more robust layup to be able to balance out the pedaling forces compared to the non-drivetrain side. Starting with the seatstays and chainstays, the drivetrain and non-drivetrain sides have two different shapes to accommodate the different forces each will experience. Perhaps most complex is the down tube which not only incorporates asymmetry in the design, but also houses the battery, which is completely integrated inside the frame.

Pinarello have chosen to kit out the Nytro E7 with Shimano Ultegra Di2 and the MOST Ultrafast Carbon wheels. This is a set up that offers a little cost savings compared to the Nytro F9 without having to compromise on the performance. Available in six sizes, the Pinarello Nytro E7 e-bike for road cyclists can give you the motivation to do special exploring without having to worry about running out of energy.
