Dutch brand, Gazelle, has announced the release of its new 2026 range of bikes featuring the Avignon and Ultimate e-bike models. Both bikes combine premium Dutch design, Bosch-powered assistance, and smart commuter features, making them strong offerings for urban riders.
Welcome to the next chapter of cycling evolution with Gazelle Bikes, where every ride tells a story of invention and innovation. Nestled in the charming town of Dieren since 1892, Gazelle Bikes has revolutionized the cycling experience by combining impeccable Dutch craftsmanship with forward-thinking technology.
Decades before our competitors even imagined the future, we were already making waves—Gazelle introduced their first electric bike in 1937: The Gazelle Electro. This pioneering model was developed in collaboration with Philips and is recognized as the world’s first production e-bike … Fast forward to today, Gazelle Bikes remains at the forefront of sustainable transportation, offering sleek designs and advanced features that make every journey a joy. Whether you’re commuting through city streets or exploring lush landscapes, Gazelle Bikes invites you to experience the perfect blend of tradition, style, and sustainability.
Gazelle launches the new Avignon
Gazelle has introduced the all-new Avignon e-bike series, something they say is designed for riders who want maximum comfort with a stylish, flowing design. The line includes three models – C380+, C380 and C5 – with the top versions powered by the new Bosch Performance Line PX motor for smooth and effortless riding.
The brand says the Avignon combines elegant frame lines with typical Gazelle features: an upright seating position for comfort and visibility, and a wide, low step-through for easy mounting. Integrated cables, lighting, and a sleek finish underline its premium look.
Every Avignon comes with a durable Gates belt drive – longer lasting, silent, and maintenance-free compared to a chain. Extra-wide tyres, leather grips, a gel saddle, and a specially designed suspension fork complete the luxury ride.
The large Kiox 500 colour display makes ride data and navigation easy to read, and connects via Bluetooth to your smartphone. Multiple battery options (540, 600, 800 Wh) ensure impressive range. With Gazelle Protect GPS tracking, the Avignon can be located remotely via the Gazelle App.

The line-up includes three models – C380, T11 and C5+ – two of which feature Bosch’s brand-new Performance Line PX motor for powerful, quiet support.
The Ultimate combines premium looks with touring comfort: a suspension seatpost, air-suspension fork and adjustable stem for a tailored fit.
