    Altering steering angle (Rise)

    It’s XL with 50 mm rise bars I Like a wheely so am familiar with the front light feeling. This is a an easy rider type steering angle that’s worse uphill On motor bikes a sports bike needs an upright steering angle for quick side to side steering and a light feeling in the hands over numerous...

    Battery range summer v winter

    No that’s the thing I couldn’t provide more regular conditions. It’s a heated garage believe it or not. Bike hangs from the garage door opener rail nice and toasty. The garage was, wisely, fitted with a rad when the garage was extended to include an office above it in the eaves. We ride from...

    Battery range summer v winter

    I’m seeing almost half the range in winter? Staying above -10 for the warranty obviously, when the ground is frozen it’s a bloody good laugh across the fields and trails. Dress appropriately and keep working keeps you warm But I’m seeing range of 20-23 miles below zero where as in summer I was...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    I was swayed by Vittoria e maza and the low rolling resistance claims. Orbea rise light weight smaller 540wh battery Can I tell the difference? Well the rr is not worse than the Maxxis oe tyres as far as I can tell. Is the range better? No idea as it’s winter and battery performance drops off...

    Ps I’d really like a shape shifter like on the canyon Strive is it? That looks dead smart to me

    Altering steering angle (Rise)

    Rise for me is very happy downhill. Steeper the better. But uphill it just wants to turn off and go back down at the slightest nudge off line. Round here it’s a lot of cross country to get to the downhill bits so most of the time the steering is too slack ( complete opposite of the trend at...

    Rail (625Wh) howling brakes like a shrieking banshee

    I have tried….Cable Tie the brake lever on full pressure (not back yo the bar but sensible pressure) and leave over night. In the morning check for fluid escaping from the seals in the caliper and leaking into the pads . Take the discs off and thoroughly rinse them with brake cleaner on the...

    OMG! I might be better on an anolgue MTB.

    One of the very few things I was concerned about on a full power bike was the weight. Before my 10 years on the couch and motor bikes before that, the pursuit of light push bikes was key to jumping and techy poppy riding and getting thing off the ground. So I went for a lighter bike in the...

    Comment by 'Bob Orbea Rise' in article 'First look at the 2023 Orbea Rise M20 and the new motor+app'

    Beautiful bike obvs But the new wild is what really impressed me with weight figures of just over 20kg for a full power bike? Just over the rise H weight figures. That’s impressive imo … although unsure if that’s the carbon wild. Probably. Not keen on carbon main structures on mtb’s due to the...

    Hello risers…. Shimano cassette Q

    I’m sure, but certainly won’t be cheaper at £100 - 150 a pop though? Or is google shopping telling porkies? Rest of the cassette is fine Could the travel screws on the derailier be used to dial out that cog? An 11 speed basically. The chain slips on the broken cog and I’m not sure when I’m...

    Evening all new here….After bmx I swapped to motor bikes track days and some racing. On reflection …. Should of stayed with push bikes. ….although e bikes fill that gap between pedal power and mopeds. THAT for me, is where it’s at. Power to weight. 1000 hp per ton ratio please Mr Orbea or...
