Currently love it. I moved from a medium Focus Jam2 (140mm travel) so the size increase is noticeable but I actually prefer it. Weight wise the focus was about 21-22kg, the wild is 26kg. I do notice the difference trying to lift the front wheel up. Maybe due to weight and length. Not sure I’ll...
Hi all, does anyone know or can someone measure the RAD on a medium and a large framed 2023 Orbea Wild please.
I’m stuck choosing between medium and large frames at 5ft 10”. Hoping knowledge of this extra info may sway me.
Hi
I’m part of the 5ft 10” club (30” short leg) and eyeing up the 2023 Orbea Wild.
I’ve been looking at the reach and effective top tube lengths for seated comfort on long pedalling trails and standing control On descents.
I’m comparing the geometry numbers to my current bike, which sits...
The numbers suggest that the Wild Medium is shorter when seated than my Focus Medium.
Wild: 595mm effective top tube + 40mm stem = 635mm
Jam2: 602mm effective top tube + 55mm stem = 657mm
I noticed the large Wild has a 50mm stem. So I could swap it out for a 35mm bringing it all back by...
Hi all,
Apologies as I appreciate this is an age old debate.
I’m selling my 2018 Focus Jam2 to buy an Orbea Wild and am hesitating over the sizing. I’m 5ft 10 1/2” (179cm) with a 30” inside (short) leg. The Orbea size chart for a medium ends at 185cm and the large starting at 170cm.
My Focus...
Hi all
I need to swap out my e8000 motor with another donor e8000 motor. Is it just a straight swap or do I need to do something with the software?
where does the Bluetooth connect to, the motor or the computer on the handlebars? If the former I assume I’ll have to reconnect my phone to the...
Hi @Bearing Man;
you’ve been mentioned above. I’m not sure if this is something you could advise on at all?
many advice would be much appreciated.

Already spoke to LBSwho are a shimano service centre. They said shimano don’t supply parts.
honestly think it’s ridiculous. There going to be so many £Xxxx ebikes thrown in a skip in the next few years when the shimano motors run out of warranty!!
Hi all
Apologies if this has been answered recently but I’m wondering if anything has changed.
Does anyone know of any independent shimano steps E8000 companies?
I have recently bought a second hand Focus Jam2 electric mountain bike with a shimano E8000 motor.
From factory it was specified...
Hi all,
I bought a second hand Focus Jam2 and have been very happy with it. Only issue is that the previous owner downgraded the di2 rear derailleur for a mechanical one.
I want to put it back to Di2 so bought all the parts but upon fitting my rear derailleur di2 cable to the drive unit I...
Hi all,
I'm after a set of lights that I can wire into my Shimano Steps E8000. I’m used to 1700-2000 lumens on my regular mtb. Has anyone got any recommendations?
Cheers
