    2023 Rise M10 change to Linkglide

    Great info!!! I've read a bit about making changes in the eMax software. I'll play with it when it becomes time to change the cassette. Could I trouble you to post your thoughts on the autoshift while pedaling after you play with it for a bit? If you think it's worthwhile, I'm likely to...

    2023 Rise M10 change to Linkglide

    To be honest, I'm not even sure if I would want it. Freeshift sounds useful. I'm reserving judgement on autoshift while pedaling. Would be nice to tinker with it, though. I take delivery of mine in a couple of weeks. I've currently got a 2021 M10. I'll post if I notice any major...

    2023 Rise M10 change to Linkglide

    From my understanding ,although I don't presume to be an expert and am happy to be corrected, the 12 speed hyperglide+ cassette that comes with the Rise is capable of freeshift (automatic shifting when coasting) but does not have the autoshift feature. To get this, you need the 10 or 11 speed...

    2023 Rise M10 change to Linkglide

    Ordered a 2023 Rise M Team. Should be here in a couple weeks. My understanding is that it comes with the 12 speed hyperglide cassettte which has freeshift but not autoshift. This is great. I’ve never had either and freeshift is the one that interests me the most. However, it’d be fun to...

    Advice needed!

    Orbea Rise is surprisingly powerful for a lighter, more natural feeling bike and you have the option of the larger 540 WH battery. They are currently on sale from Orbea with 20% off and some shops will add another 5-10% to that. They are still expensive compared to analog bikes but this may...

    Changing 2021 to 2023 Rise - Freeshift

    Maybe so. It's possible that they have fewer Wilds and don't feel the need to discount them as much to clear the inventory prior to the '24s being released. Regardless, I'm sure you will love it and happy riding!

    Changing 2021 to 2023 Rise - Freeshift

    Per the local bike shop, Orbea is now giving 20% off directly and he added another 5% on his end. You may want to check with your shop to see why you didin't get the 20% that is de rigeur from Orbea. They have a glut of 2023 bikes post-covid and the 2024s are coming out. My bike shop said...

    Changing 2021 to 2023 Rise - Freeshift

    They are saying about 3 weeks delivery on mine so hoping for late Oct/early Nov. I've loved my 2021 M10 so much that I want an extra Rise for friends/kids/girlfriend. Let me know how you like yours when it comes in and congrats back!

    Changing 2021 to 2023 Rise - Freeshift

    I have a 2021 M10 Rise. I've thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so that I want a second ebike and am just ordering a 2023 M-Team because I can get it for 25% off. My intention is to usemy current bike as my backup bike, girlfriend bike for city rides, mountain bike rides with my grown daughters...

    Upgrade 2021 Model?

    I have a 2021 M10 and love it. Thinking of upgrading to the new M-Team for the 540 wh battery, di2 hyperglide drivetrain, hidden tool, upgraded switch placement, new pivot link, etc. etc. My current bike is riding great so there's really no way to justify spending the extra money except 1) new...

    Orbea Rise battery size

    I've got a 2021 M10 with the 360 wh battery and your numbers look right for that battery size. Having the extender is now the best of both worlds. Your bike is lighter when you aren't doing epic rides but you have the option of the extender to stretch things out a bit. Enjoy it. They are...

    Orbea Wild 2023 H10 or M10

    I bought the M10 before the H10 was available. I’ve loved mine but have no frame of reference for a comparison. Check back with us once you decide and purchase to let us know which you got and how you like It. From my experience after almost 2 years in, they are GREAT bikes.

    Help please. Overweight rider looking to get into EMTB

    OP, just curious if you made any decisions and bought your bike? If so, what did you find that fit your parameters? I'm also an overweight rider who purchased an Orbea Rise which got me back out on the trails and having fun again. I've dropped 20 pounds and have improved my fitness level...

    Riding Intercoms

    A friend and I bought the Sena M1 Evo helmet. It’s a super comfortable helmet with the “Wilkie talkie” built in. Not MIPS rated is the only negative. Can also function as phone Bluetooth. Speakers have no bass so they aren’t good for music but the microphone is great and blocks all wind...

    Would I benefit from a new bike?

    Your mileage may vary but we both felt it was a huge improvement. We spend enough on these things that it's worth maximizing the equipment. Hope it works as well for you as it did for us.

    Would I benefit from a new bike?

    As I'm sure you are aware, fine tuning your current shock can make a huge difference. A friend of mine and I bought a Shock Wiz for a few hundred dollars. You screw it into your air valve, connect it to your phone via bluetooth, set how you want your suspension to feel (i.e. plush, poppy...

    Looking for a women's bike

    I'll second this. You can buy a different dropper post so it is the perfect height when fully extended for riding but you can drop down when coming to a stop to make it easier to reach the ground comfortably when stopped. I bought a One Up dropper that was 150 mm but can be adjusted in 5 mm...

    Is the e13 crank issue now fixed?

    Thx for the tip. I finally got the bike shop involved and Orbea has shipped me some new cranks. I didn't want to wait so bought some Shimano EM900 on Amazon and had the bike shop put those on. I'll use the ones I receive from Orbea as back ups. Appreciate all the help!
