Gazelle Eclipse C380+ HMB: Off-Road Performance & Hill Climbing Power Tested!

Prospective Gazelle ebike buyers often ask, "How does it ride off paved surfaces?" and just as importantly, "How does it do on hills?" Well, today we'll take a look at the new 2024 Gazelle Eclipse C380+ and its ability to climb a steep grass hill.

The new Gazelle Eclipse model line offers Class 3 performance in both low-step and mid-step frame configurations. The Eclipse combines power, design, and comfort, making it ideal for both urban commuting and long-distance touring. The Eclipse series features two main models: the Eclipse C380+ and the Eclipse T11+.

Eclipse C380+: Includes an Enviolo stepless shifting gear hub and a Gates carbon belt drive for smooth, low-maintenance riding.
Eclipse T11+: Features an 11-speed Shimano Deore XT system for precise shifting.

Both models are equipped with a Suntour Mobie suspension fork and Gazelle's unique V-shaped handlebar stem for enhanced stability and comfort. The Eclipse comes with Schwalbe Marathon Efficiency tires, which combine a smooth center tread for efficient rolling on pavement with diamond-shaped lugs on the shoulders for grip on light off-road terrain.

This makes it suitable for urban commuting, touring, light gravel, and off-road riding.
The Eclipse is powered by the Bosch Smart System Performance Line Speed Motor, producing 85 newton meters of torque. Higher torque means easier cycling up steep hills, like the one we'll tackle in this video. Gazelle states that ebikes with a torque of 60 Nm or more can handle steep hills very well, and the Eclipse C380+ exceeds this benchmark.

Join us as we test the Gazelle Eclipse C380+ HMB on various terrains and see how it performs both off-road and on steep inclines. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more ebike reviews and adventures!
