RONDO IOON
THE ELECTRIC GRAVEL REVOLUTIOON
Polish brand RONDO’s bikes certainly stand out. With their kinked down-tubes, square head-tubes and slab-like forks, they’re not your average looking bike. Keeping with that unique look is the RONDO IOON. This is the brand’s first electric bike and it’s already won a Design & Innovation Award 2025.

RONDO IOON – Design & Innovation Award 2025 Winner
Here’s what the Design & Innovation Award jury had to say:
“The IOON combines RONDO’s distinctive design with versatile functionality and robust assistance. Eye-catching features like the TwinTip fork and signature head tube make this e-gravel bike a true head-turner, while the performance-oriented specs cater to demanding riders. The FAZUA Ride 60 motor is seamlessly integrated into the frame, providing ample power for steep climbs, smooth responsiveness, and a natural ride feel.”
RONDO IOON frame
The RONDO IOON is a unique looking carbon-fibre frame, that resembles their Ruut model. The most noticeable feature is the kinked down-tube, which allows some extra flex. Flex, when properly designed in, can deliver a smoother ride and save you energy on longer rides. I look at it and think, “that’s a lot of mud clearance there!”

Other frame features are a kinked top-tube and a RONDO’s Twintip fork. Twintip allows you to alter the fork’s handling, allowing some customisation depending on your ride-style. Although it has some flat and chunky tube profiles, RONDO say they combine strength and aerodynamics. Also on the frame are a UDH hanger and T47 bottom-bracket.
IOON motor
Powering the RONDO IOON is a Fazua Ride 60 system, which is rated at 60Nm. This is a mid-drive system that can deliver a claimed 430W of peak pedalling assistance. Total weight is 4.2Kg; of which 1.96Kg is the motor, with rest being the 420Wh battery.

RONDO says;
“The RONDO IOON combines cutting-edge technology with our signature design philosophy. Equipped with the Fazua Ride 60 drive system, this lightweight e-bike delivers seamless power assistance and an authentic gravel riding feel. It’s a bike that embodies versatility, making it equally at home on rugged trails and urban roads.“
“As we gear up for the bike’s official release, this award marks the beginning of an exciting journey for the IOON. With its sleek aesthetics, advanced technology, and a ride experience that inspires confidence and freedom, the IOON is designed for riders who crave adventure without limits.“
