    Orbea Rise vs Levo SL range

    Both are great bikes. I have a Rise and I've ridden a Levo SL. I think you're not comparing equally if you compare both on boost setting. The Levo provides 35Nm of torque and the Rise provides 60 Nm of torque. I found the Levo SL to be slightly underpowered for what I wanted. It felt to me...

    Orbea RS Data Field and Garmin - PITA

    (y)(y) That's why I messaged the app developer (Orbea) to see if they can sort out the problems. We'll see, but I'm not holding my breath. I was hoping that you were using it and had found the magic solution.

    Orbea RS Data Field and Garmin - PITA

    Do you have an Orbea Rise and are you using a Garmin device with the Orbea RS Toolbox app? If so, what Garmin are you using and does it connect automatically when you start the Bike app that you have the data fields set for Orbea RS? I hope you can help us out. Unless I basically get into...

    Orbea RS Data Field and Garmin - PITA

    Definitely a Garmin app issue. I did the review/contact developer thing and sent a link too. Everyone that is having problems should do the same.

    Is it possible for Orbea to up the torque on the EP8 via software?

    These babies can generate more than 80Nm of torque. Unfortunately, my legs look more like this.

    Orbea RS Data Field and Garmin - PITA

    Thanks. I wonder if these problems are mostly confined to the Vivoactive 3 watches that we are using. Any Garmin Edge users out there with some experience with it? Different or the same stupidity?

    Sorry to hear that. It doesn't bode well for me. I have a hammer you can borrow. It feels so very satisfying.

    Orbea RS Data Field and Garmin - PITA

    Thanks guys. I spent about an hour yesterday trying every different combination I could think of trying to get it to work and I think I may have stumbled on the the right combination for me. I had to write each combination of steps down that I tried so I knew what failed and then when I got it...

    Orbea RS Data Field and Garmin - PITA

    I have the vivoactive 3 and it has been nothing but a pain trying to get this to work. I got it al installed and on the watch and most of the time I get nothing. Somehow it worked one time and then after that, all I get on my watch when I open the "bike" screen is "searching". It never...

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    I have a Rise and I've ridden a Wild. The Wild is a longer travel, heavier but full power e-mtb. It's a great bike, just different than what I wanted. It definitely has more torque and will assist you more on a ride, but the Rise feels more like a regular mtb with assist kicking in the more...

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    Like I told my wife, "Silly woman, bikes are for buying, not selling." I couldn't ride for a few days due to my eye being swollen shut ;)after that comment, but I still didn't sell any bikes. I've given a few away to my kids, but never sold one.

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    Nice! Which Galfer compound did you go with? I see they make one specific for ebikes, but I'm sure that's based on a very heavy bike and not the svelte Rise.

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    Those rides were on profile 1 which should give better battery life so if you like 2, then YMMV....the only time that acronym makes perfect sense.

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    I was initially thinking I would need the range extender, but now I'm not sure. A couple of rides in and after totaling almost 4 hours of ride time with mostly on Eco and a little on Trail settings, I still have almost 50% battery left. Unless you're doing truly epic rides with tons of...

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    I've been mountain biking for 25+ years and in my experience and opinion, I probably couldn't tell much of a difference between the two forks, so I wouldn't pay the extra to upgrade. Now if you're a more advanced rider or very sensitive to suspension components, it might be completely...

    I know, just wanted to clarify for others. Thanks. I really wish some of these app were available on the apple watch, but alas, they are not.

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    I haven't tried it, but I don't know if ST Unlocker would work with the Rise. Some of the features are for specific firmware version of shimano motors and Orbea has their own proprietary firmware that was developed with Shimano for this bike specifically. It may give you the basics, but not...
