NICE set-up! From what I've read, Galfer and Magura pads are manufactured at the same plant, just color coded differently and sold under the 2 brand names. How do the purple Galfers perform when wet?
I run a Shigura set-up (Saint levers/MT7 calipers/MDR-P 220mm f/r rotors/Performance brakepad rear/sport brake pad front) on all 3 of my emtbs and rate them very high.
Awesome modulation and excellent stopping power on long dh trails. If you go this route, use Magura Brake Cables/olive and...
I have a couple pairs of the Fox Unions and really like them. A good all-round shoe the grips well and is comfortable. I have a pair of high-top 5 tens I use at bike parks and really like Ride Concepts for enduro riding. Another shoe I was impressed with that reminds me a little of the Unions is...
I have a customized Wild with and MRP HAZARD progressive coil and it shreds! Expected improved dh performance but surprised how well it performs when climbing. You can also customize the color of the coil!
Going on my 1st ride today with new SRAM XX Transmission Drivetrain (XO cranks) on my new Orbea Wild. Have only rode it a couple miles on fireroad to set up my suspension. Have high hopes but wondering if it's worth the hype. Have a combination XTR/XT Drivetrain on my YT Decoy and have never had...
Unfortunately Orbea doesn't sell the Wild as a frame only option. Had a lot of fun installing all the custom components and eas able to sell all the components that came stock on bike. SQLAB makes some great handlebars. I prefer the 12 degree backsweep bar and I believe they have a bar with 16...
Ridden both sets of tires and still have them on my emtbs. E-wilds are much more suited for the dh aspect and Eddy Currents are an all-round beast and me, have them on my All-Mountain emtb (Orbea Wild). Rock the Wilds on my YT Decoy and toggle back with Swalbe Magic Mary/Big Betty set-up. The...
Just received my custom painted Wild and happy to report absolutely no paint issues at all. Had all the components removed to make it easier to RideWrap and am able to see the frame/paint quality in its entirety. Went with white gloss on the main frame and silver on the bottom and it looks...
I run Magura MT7 Calipers and Magura MDR-P 220mm rotors with Shimano Saint Brake Levers (aka "Shirgura"). Best combination of modulation and stopping power I've ever experienced. For pads I run
the Sport (green) on the front and
the Performance (grey) on the rear. Any Shimano Brake lever is...
Was at the lbs today where I ordered a custom painted Orbea Wild that's due in late June/July. They happened to have 3 new Wilds on their showroom floor. I was conversing with the team at the shop, seeking information if they have received any complaints on 2023 Wilds they have sold. I know...
I have a new 2023 Wild on order and have purchased the SRAM XX AXS Transmission groupset separately. At the current time, do not believe Orbea is offering the AXS Transmission as an option on their website. New bike is scheduled to arrive July-September and will provide updates after I get in...
Looking to install a coil shock for the 2023 Wild I have on order. Wanted to see if anyone has the size mounting hardware needed for the non-trunion side of the shock. Have the White Paper provided by Orbea and cannot see this info anywhere. Unfortunately I don't have new bike yet and therefore...
