Gazelle Ultimate C5 HMB (2027): Premium Dutch Design Meets Effortless Commuting
The 2027 upgrade to the Ultimate C5 is the next step up in HMB (hybrid mountain bike) eBikes. Building on two previous generations of this model, this eBike is a refined, comfortable eBike that redefines the perfect commuter vehicle. Wide tires, suspension seatpost, and air-sprung forks give a smooth ride on any terrain.
This is a premium model that perfectly blends sporty urban functionality with touring comfort; the Ultimate C5 has a low-maintenance beltdrive and an active riding position. Built for navigating city streets and exploring scenic trails, this versatile e-bike is designed to meet the needs of discerning riders across Canada.
2027 Innovations
This year's model has been overhauled to give you an even better riding experience than with the 2026 Ultimate C5.
- An air-shock fork is installed by default, with much more travel and noticably improved suspension than the old coil fork.
- Integrated decceleration brake lights are installed, clearly indicating to cyclists and drivers behind you whenever the brake is used.
- The central display is now mounted inside the stem, which is much easier to read while riding and even stronger than before.
- The maximum loading capacity, which is now 331 lb.
Key Highlights
- Bosch Performance Line Motor with 75 Nm of torque for powerful, smooth assistance (20 mph)
- 540 Wh integrated battery for extended rides and long-lasting performance. This can be upgraded to 800 Wh, or supplemented with the PowerMore 200 Wh range extender.
- Shimano Nexus 5-Sp Beltdrive for low maintenance and clean shifting across any terrain
- Premium Shimano Deore disc brakes for smooth, responsive braking
- Wide tires, front air suspension fork, and adjustable stem for enhanced comfort
- Elegant aluminum frame with integrated battery and cables for a sleek, stylish appearance
