Kalapuya – The Ultimate E-Tandem for Off-Road Adventure and Performance

Named after the stunning Kalapuya mountain range in western Oregon, the Kalapuya Tandem is built for riders who demand peak performance in the most challenging environments. Whether you're tackling steep forested mountainsides, twisting gravel descents, or navigating rocky outcrops, the Kalapuya E-Tandem delivers outstanding stability, power, and control on both unpaved and paved terrain. Its advanced design and cutting-edge features make it the most popular E-Tandem on the market—perfect for those seeking adventure and high-performance versatility.

With Co-Motion’s zonally-butted ACMUltra7 aluminum tubing and a Co-Motion 1.5” TA carbon fork, this tandem offers the perfect combination of lightness, strength, and precision handling. Equipped with Shimano or SRAM eTap, disc brakes, and Gates Carbon Drive timing belt, the Kalapuya gives you the power and control to conquer any trail, while its performance options allow it to transition seamlessly between off-road and road riding.

Key Features:

  • Optimized for 700c wheels with 35-42mm tires for smooth handling on both gravel and pavement
  • Light and tough Co-Motion zonally-butted ACMUltra7 aluminum tubing for a strong, lightweight frame
  • Tapered head tube & Co-Motion 1.5” TA carbon fork for superior precision and stability
  • Disc brakes & hydraulic-ready cable routing for responsive braking in any condition
  • Boost 148x12mm and 110x15mm TA dropouts for enhanced wheel stability and durability
  • Rack & fender mounts for touring flexibility and added convenience
  • Gates Carbon Drive timing belt for a smooth, low-maintenance ride
  • CNC-machined chainstay yoke for added strength and performance
  • Internal Di2 wiring ports & Hydro brake mounts for a clean, modern setup

Opt for the optional Rolf Prima carbon wheelset and fast road tires, and you'll be able to easily switch between off-road adventures and paved road speed. Whether you're tackling epic gravel climbs or cruising on smooth pavement, the Kalapuya Tandem has you covered for both.

Choose from Shimano or SRAM eTap for a seamless, wireless shifting experience, ensuring every ride is both smooth and powerful.

Drivetrain Options - What Drives You?
You've decided which Co-Motion is right for your kind of riding. Did you know we're also the leader in tandem drivetrain options? These are the available drivetrain options for the Kalapuya.

Gear Inches- The descriptions above refer to gear inches for comparison purposes. The term refers to the effective equivalent wheel diameter per pedal stroke. For example, if you're pedaling the Kalapuya with SRAM AXS in first gear, each full pedal stroke will produce the equivalent of one wheel revolution of a 23.6" wheel, while the highest gear will produce the equivalent rotation of a 122.6" wheel.
