    Rise crank arm length which did you choose

    I went with 160's, keeps cadence a bit higher, and less worry about pedal strikes if you ride a ton of really rocky terrain which is what I ride. I wouldn't recommend it if you ride more flowy or flatter terrain as you do lose leverage and top end speed.

    Rise Hydro Stiffness (or lack of)

    It definitely isn't a stiff rear end. I did have play in my Main pivot linkages from factory which I just noticed before my last ride. If you grabbbed the linkages at the seat tube you could move them back and forth a few millimeters. I just loosened the link bolt and used the purple preload...

    Nyon (MY21)Aftermarket upgrade....installed.

    TBH I just preferred the display size as it compares to the Garmin 1030 I use on my regular bikes. I do use the routes for the GPS Nav when planning new rides. The custom modes I never used much...never took the time to mess with them. Didn't like how it was only customizeable through speed...

    First emtb- carbon or hydro?

    From the factory I upgraded to factory suspension and XT 4piston brakes. I’ve now added one up 210mm droppper, XT 160mm cranks, Raceface Next R bars/Turbine R stem/Next R32 Carbon hoops, SRAM X01 Driverrain shifter/chain/cassette, specialized power pro elaston saddle, Magura MDR-P 220/203...

    H15 is 150 up front, h30 140. H15 has burlier suspension w/ float X/Fox 36. H30 w/ DPS/Bomber Z2 with 34mm stanchions. Geo cart for the H15 is incorrect ....

    EM600, EM900, M8150 crank weights confirmed

    Just received my m8150’s from Ridewill.it. It only took a few days from Italy to arrive. I actually had no issue with my e13 cranks except I like running 160’s on my eMTB’s. I actually prefer the look of the e13’s tbh. I run e13’s on my rail as well.

    First emtb- carbon or hydro?

    Which H model did you get? I'm 155kg in gear and got 33km and 1250m climbing in 80% trail 20% Eco with it set @ 51nm & assist level 6. My Rise is a lrg H15 weighs 20.17kg but swapped just about every part but cranks...some heavier parts and some lighter.

    First emtb- carbon or hydro?

    If Orbea is gonna put a bigger Battery in a bike I'd guess it would be a modern geo Wild or e-Rallon style long travel enduro rig. 455 reach on a lrg wild is mega outdated and with Bosch's smart system out, it would be the platform to update. imho

    EM600, EM900, M8150 crank weights confirmed

    I run 160's on my Rail, and 170 on my regular bikes at 6' tall only because the carbon cranks I run with SRAM drivetrains only came in 170. (X01.Next R). If I ran ALu cranks w/ SRAM or Shimano i'd go 165. I prefer shorter cranks. I'm gonna swap to 160 on my Rise as well. The loss in...

    Good to know about the em900's just having a different finish. I may just order the 8150's now

    Rise Up - What are your upgrades?

    I’m over 300lbs and have zero issues braking regardless how steep, fast, and rocky it is. I have XT’s on 3 of my bikes and Maguras on one. For me the trade off in maintenance doesn’t out weight the performance difference. I won’t get Magura again but that’s just me.

    Rise Up - What are your upgrades?

    I have MT-7's on my Trek Rail. Love the power and feel but hate the need to bleed them more frequently. Twice in a year I had to do a full bleed because they started to fail and just lose power. lever bleed on the XT's so much easier

    Rise Up - What are your upgrades?

    I just went with XT 4-pots from the factory then went 220/203 Magura Mdr-p rotors when my bike arrived.

    Kiox won't finish ride and sync

    TBH, once I had it set up and understood that once the ride ends u have to leave the bike on and depending on how long the ride was turn the bike back on until data finally transmits to the phone app I haven’t had any issues. Not the most intuitive immediate transfer, but I haven’t had an issue...

    Orbea Rise (H15) rear thru-axle -- 187mm, too short?

    My H15 is exactly the same. but hasn't backed out yet...only 300 miles so far in about a month.

    It's here! 2022 Orbea Rise H15

    It threads in on the derailleur side...I cant imagine anyone wanting a quick release lever on that side.

    Orbea Rise Large maximum insertion (bought a 240mm dropper)

    Insertion on a 240 is 337mm so I'd guess a little more than an inch exposed

    Orbea Rise Large maximum insertion (bought a 240mm dropper)

    It's a different frame but i'm sure it's close. Large H15 insertion is 310mm I slammed a 210mm Oneup on my bike.
