Embracing ebike life is the theme here! The goal is to drop some more pounds… however it’s never going to be the 39lb Orbea Rise that it replaced :ROFLMAO:
Can’t wait to ride this beast this weekend!
48lb as seen with;
longer 175mm Fox transfer
minimal Selle carbon saddle
Pacenti 20mm stem...
Slap a receiver hitch and rack on that bimmer and save your back buddy!
Yeah that Liv intrigue was on my short list for my wife. But after she hopped on my medium Rise, no way she would be okay with the extra heft of the FF bikes.
Hi,
My wife is only 5’1” (155cm), but her inseam is around 29”. So she can flat foot with knees bent when seat is dropped.
The small size rise has a short seat tube and low slung top tube, so it will fit shorter people just fine. Have her sit on one if your local shop has… be ready to pay:ROFLMAO:
Nice upgrades everyone! I actually have been riding my regular bike more lately and haven’t ridden the new white Rise yet. But I have been collecting some parts :p
My Rise got an oem Fox 36, and will get shimano 160mm cranks, Fox transfer, fender, kabolt and factory tune Float X. I’ve spoken...
Let’s try this again!
I thought she’d be a little lighter than the first rise with a zeb. But it’s practically the same weight.
I might switch up the tires and still waiting for a range extender but for the most part, it’s done. See you on the trails!
Medium frame, pike ultimate 140mm...
Yeah going with a bit lighter build on this one to mimic the spec of my regular trail bike as close as I can. Im only about 160lb so the lighter parts should be fine.
As for the the crown race, I just use a standard crown race. As far as I know, all the factory builds from Orbea use the same...
Another RISE of course!! :p
I absolutely love the Rise, hands down one of the best bikes I’ve ridden- ebike or otherwise.
The blue Rise I sent off with a bang at SkyPark in lake arrowhead, CA and it cleaned all the trails there with ease. Laps and laps and more laps… so much fun!
Some test...
Test rides can be dangerous and in my brother’s case, expensive! ?
After one ride on mine, my brother had to ditch his freshly built GG trail pistola. Most of the parts were transferred and taadaa another blue Rise is born!
Spec: Large frame, fox 36 150, push 11.6, shimano xt cranks, revel...
I guess I’m officially an ebiker now! :ROFLMAO:
Had my first ride with some mates and here are some of my findings.
None of this is very scientific so take with it as you may. We are all around the same weight and fitness level. The Norco sight I believe has a 630wh battery and the Kenevo...
The Zeb is 150mm travel. I haven’t checked its AC or Orbea’s max allowed AC, but I did measure change in bb which is published at 336mm and mine at 339mm.
Rides just fine, not overly slack or funny feeling. The rear is stock factory setup, not overshocked.
The new Fox 34 will be in 140mm...
Day 2 of desert exploring and the Rise continues to amaze.
If you are currently waiting for your Rise, hopefully it arrives soon, or if you are on the fence about ordering- do it! :)
I won’t comment on battery range/power vs ff and such bc most of you have logged many more miles than me- I’ve...
The light weight concept got thrown out the window as I needed the Pike for another project ?
Here it is with a Zeb, 41.5lb as you see it. Should be a little lighter with the final wheelset/tires. Have a good weekend everyone!
