I feel your pain, 54 here and don’t bounce... I do wonder whether eMTB crashes are worse that on regular bikes, given the extra momentum of the bike....

Not on a Cube, but last October on my first ride on brand new Orbea Wild a simple tumble with an unfortunate outcome. Shoulder dislocated backwards and ripped all the tendons to bits. Full reconstruction surgery and 7 months of physio later and still can’t lift arm above horizontal. Bike didn’t...

I had an Orbea Wild FS MTeam but had to sell it a month or so back due an accident and long term injury to my shoulder. If I get enough recovery I may be looking to buy a new eMTB in the autumn, so maybe a 2020 or 2021. I am not going to have the shoulder strength or mobility for any gnar...

Sizing query, I got some good info a few pages back but not quite there. I’m 5ft 9.5 with a 30inch inside leg. What’s the consensus on large or medium ? I’m fairly sure I’d be in a large, but would need to get the 150mm dropper swopped out to a 125. Any experiences welcome please !

At 5ft 9 and a bit and a 30 inch inside leg, the Large looks right on paper for me, bar the 150mm dropper, which will have an ISM Saddle, with a slightly higher stack height than the Spesh one.

Thanks, very similar here and the large does look right on the numbers, though seattube will I think be a problem with 150 dropper.

Interesting re sizing, will have a try of a medium I guess ! What inside leg are you if you don’t mind me asking ?

Thanks, I have short legs and use ISM saddles, with a highish stack height and have everything measured and recorded so know the 150 dropper will be about 15mm too big. Not an issue as I’m sure LBS will swop when selling it. So what are the thoughts about the bike for my purposes?

Thinking of buying one of these bikes post lockdown. I had a 2020 Orbea Wild FS and had an unfortunate tumble on its maiden ride, resulting in a horrible shoulder injury and lots of metalwork. Currently only able to ride road and gravel but hoping to get back to tame MTB riding later in the...

^^^^ unless the physio can perform miracles with my shoulder I may have had one of the most expensive 10 minute bike rides in history... ?

Indeed, but it’s not really second hand....As you say it’s had a demo ride !

Depressing reading as my injuries are going to keep me away from any MTB for a significant period. I guess I will need to look at any offers folks make me and cut my losses. Useful input, and appreciated.

Nope, it is now reduced to £5500, cheers. if anyone wants more details please message me, thanks

Blinkie, if you want to drop me a message I can give you some more info re the price, which I have brought down to £5500, and the warranty etc..

I bought a brand new Orbea Wild FS M-Team at the end of last year from local bike shop, beautiful bike, orange one, in large, 7k bike. I had an unfortunate tumble on my first ride with an awkward landing resulting in a major shoulder injury, reconstruction surgery etc. Recovery is going to be a...

Sounds like a problem that will affect them all then, until they change the guide, but at least they’ll all be sorted under warranty I guess.

That doesn’t look too clever..
