Is anybody running their fork at 160mm and will this void the warranty? Normally bike Mfg's only allow + 10mm and with the other models at 140, 160mm is +20. Just curious.

I got the same message a few days ago from Orbea for the Rise, just to confirm I still wanted the bike. I already have it held at my LBS with my CC at the original lower price, even though my CC hasn’t been charged. When an invoice attached to a CC is already generated at a certain amount, you...

Not sure what’s funnier, your 4th grade humor or your 3rd grade grammar.

How do these bikes compare on the steeper climbing sections due to the slacker ST angle on the SL? Do you notice a significant more amount of front wheel lift on the SL and have to weight the front more?

So far it’s only on the Orbea site. My LBS removed the M10 for now, but I have it back ordered at the original pricing. They also show all the other models in various colors arrival date 3-1 in several sizes.

Anyone notice the $500-600 price increase?

Nox Farlows. i29 470g rim weight. I have a pair laced to I9 hydra, CX-ray, alloy nips weighing 1740g

Got it, thanks for clarifying. Your posted pics also make more sense where the broken cassette piece was left attached.

Wouldn’t you normally remove the chainring nut from the inside after the crank arm has already been removed?

Boom! SL frame frame $6500 ^^^ $8000. Only up 2k from last year. I guess this sways my decision to purchase a Rise a bit easier.

So you’re saying the wait to get your Rise would be Sept 2022, instead of Oct 21?

If it makes things a little better, maybe Orbea isn’t the only bike with this issue. I stopped by my LBS today to ride the Levo SL (demo) around the streets to get another feel for it and the same part is broken. I looked down only to see the charging port was left open and noticed it wouldn’t...

Pretty sad for such an inexpensive part and poor design on their part. Makes you wonder what their response time will be for a mechanical type issue.

That’s what I was thinking. From another comment, anyone buying this type of bike should never even mention about the lack of power, or they are buying the wrong bike and the same goes for the reviewers.

You know what’s a joke? People commenting about what other riders want to do with their bike, whether it’s installing frame protection or needing a 50t climbing gear, because they don’t ride 5 times a week. Yep!

For this blue frame I would go gloss both front/rear. The rear matte is a bit dull and gloss all the way will look better IMHO. Besides Invisiframe only makes a front matte/ gloss rear for the Ice green frame and no mix/match for the blue.

150 or 160mm fork? 2020 or 21 Airspring?

To me inseam matters a lot as I’m 6’ 34.5 inseam and the higher I put of the seat, the slacker the ST becomes, so the seated reach becomes longer. Taller than average inseam also means that I have a shorter torso, so I never size up like some other people do. I get what your saying about stand...

I rode a Rise around the streets for a good 10 min yesterday and I felt zero drag with the motor switched off. It felt like riding my analog bike.

Correct, which isn’t the light Next SL wheel set 1555g that comes on the top model.
