    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    My XL M10 came with a 170 mm dropper, but it was too high for me. I now have a 150 mm and it's perfect. I'm 6 ft.

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    Oh yes, very easy. Just had to swap the actual dropper. Just undid the collar, then removed the left side grip, brake, and power control, then fed the wires into the frame as I pulled up on the dropper. Once the bottom of the dropper was free of the frame, I unhooked the cable from the bottom...

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    Well, it finally happened! Got my Rise! Had to change the dropper post because the Orbea one was too high. I put in a One Up 180, but shimmed down to 160. So far I've ridden it twice. It's so amazing!

    Orbea Rise Owners - Please Read

    Oh, I didn't realize you'd have to remove the chainring to install the Invisiframe kit on a Rise. I'll have to let my installer know that when I get my Rise. I already have the Invisiframe kit waiting. I think there's a special tool to remove the chainring isn't there?

    Downtube protector

    I think I would prefer if it didn't cover any of the ORBEA logo though.

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    Hahah... ya, it has been a very long wait. But in the meantime I've been building a custom Santa Cruz 5010c so that's kept me busy for now. Took it out for her maiden voyage today. It's not quite done yet, but almost. Just waiting for a red Ergon seat (the blue one here will go on my Orbea Rise)...

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    Me too (coal blue M10). July. I asked the LBS for an updated date and he said "I think your's is coming a week earlier. But still in July." Hopefully then more to the beginning of July than the end.

    Rise M10 in Coal Blue/Red incoming! :-)

    My coal blue M10 also comes in July! But I ordered it last October. A very long wait.

    Rise Up - What are your upgrades?

    Is the M10 also centre lock? In one of the above pictures, the rotor is the Galfer DB004W2, which I think is a 6-bolt, is it not?

    Orbea rise invisiframe

    And the Fox 36 / 150mm fork on the front on the M10, is it the 2021 model? Need to know for Invisiframe. I'm guessing so, hopefully. The Orbea website doesn't specify. Just says Fox 36 Float Factory 150 Grip2 QR15x110 Kashima

    Orbea rise invisiframe

    Is the back-half of the coal blue Rise matte or gloss? I'm thinking front gloss, back matte. I've not yet seen one in person so I don't know what Invisiframe kit to buy.

    Orbea rise invisiframe

    Is that matte finish on the back part? Looks awesome. I wonder how matte finish would look on the glossy front too? Would love to see that combo. That Ride Wrap video wasn't very helpful. Outside lighting would have been better than studio lighting. And perhaps a coloured frame and not just...

    Orbea Rise Custom M10

    Well it would be nice if mine came in time for my birthday, which is also in July.

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    So what's the difference between the E7000 display and the SC-EM800 other than the E7000 is plug-in-play and the other requires cables and adaptors? Is the SC-EM800 better? It seems there's also the E8000 too. Very confusing naming schemes they have. I'd like the cool one with the colour...

    Orbea Rise or ff bike

    Awesome summary! I'm 183 cm and also ordered an XL. Hurry up July! I can't wait much longer! :)

    Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

    Maybe @Rob Rides EMTB can put in a good word for me at Orbea so they can ship one out earlier :). Still July for my blue M10 XL. Also anything that can be displayed in the iOS app can be displayed on the Apple Watch. The iPhone would be used as a gateway between the bike and the watch. That's...

    Orbea Rise Custom M10

    I ordered the coal blue M10 in XL. They had a medium ice green one in stock so I got to see one in person at least. It's a beautiful bike.

    Orbea Rise Custom M10

    Since you bought an XL, may I ask how tall you are? I'm 6 ft. So I'm right at the end of the L recommendation and at the beginning of the XL recommendation. This is an interesting video discussion of how to pick out the right size bike for you:

    Orbea Rise Custom M10

    It was an XL that I ordered. Wish I was in the UK :) I was born there! Does that count? :)
