Thanks, better than 203mm? Thanks
I like the larger 220mm rotors on front and back wheels because of the stopping power. A lot of riders like the a slightly smaller diameter rotor on the rear, but with the added weight of emtbs in my mind requires all the power you can get.
I run a Shigura set-up (Shimano Saint levers and Magura MT7 calipers) and the modulation is incredible.

Anyone running a 180mm fork on the Wild, or is it too much?
Found a great deal on a 180mm Zeb Ulitmate and the M20 Wild.

Hey there everyone, my Wild H10 (size M) is arriving this coming week. I'm customizing it a bit (RS Zeb 170mm, Hayes Dominion A4 brakes, OneUp E-bar, GX AXS, DT Swiss ratchet upgrade) and after doing some research here & Orbea Fb group it seems that there are some limitations on coil compatibility.

I have a 205x65 Trunnion RS SuperDeluxe coil (2023) from my Evil Wreckoning since I upgraded that to a PUSH - but it seems the RS SDU coil won't fit. Has anyone tried a PUSH ElevenSix out back? I'm not opposed to running the Float X, and I'll prolly dial it in and run it for a bit. However I'm pretty set on a coil for long term and may see if the new PUSH SV8 shock would fit.

Here's mine. 23 XL M20 with just about everything changed. Mismatched suspension and tyres because reasons
Zeb Select plus which is near identical to the Ultimate, I've had a couple of sets of Ultimates and can't tell the difference
24 Fox X2
H1700 wheels
Tech4 V4s with TRP 2.3 rotors
Linkglide drivetrain
Praxis HD cranks
PNW Loam XL grips
Nukeproof enduro saddle
Headset top plate to remove the knock block thing and stupid spacers
Got a Oneup bar and 240mm dropper on the way
Also put a bead of silicone under the system controller and the accessory plate on the downtube to stop water ingress

and the accessory plate on the downtube

Does anybody know what the accessory plate does or seen any accessories?
Isn't it supposed to be to allow connection of the Bosch 250wH powerpack extender? Although seems that the jury is still out on whether it's compatible on the 23 as far as I'm aware. Good old Bosch, they don't like to keep anything compatible from one year to the next........:rolleyes:

The Bike is exactly the same on 2023 and 2024 models on Team and LTD, except Ergon puños.

Then the Wild 23 is compatible as Bpsch app Flow and the Orbea Blue Pages. (instructions)

So I’ve had an offer for 25% off on an M20 and now my dilemma is what size.

I’m between medium and large.

Wingspan ~67"
Foot to Groin ~32"
Height 70.5-71"

I ride a Large Arrival 170 which is 472 reach. It’s comfy for me, but I may want a more neutral less race position on the e-bike. I’m undecided.

Would be easier to know if anyone else bought a bike while at the upper end of the sizing spectrum.

I had "The" Email from the bike Shop, Mary should be with them this week.
So then its Invisiframe fitment and I can collect!
Then get her home to put new wheels and brakes on and hopefully get back out riding!

Hi all, quick question about connecting the bike to a Garmin. Do you need a separate unit? I did a quick Google search and it seems like I have to have the Kiox unit. is that right?
Who's using a Garmin, and where are you mounting it?
I was hoping to mount it on the top cap/stem as I have with my other bikes, but even that might be tricky with the non-standard stem?

To add some insight about Fox E specific suspension✌ with FAQ and all...in the link

Short:
There are e-tuned forks(damping & air spring tuned for specific area of the sport) and e-optimized forks(e-tune + chassis optimized-beefed up CSU)

The 38 is already beefy enough so only an e-tuned 38 exists.

E-optimized are the 34s and the 36s.

So you Rob probably have some kind of a hybrid e-fox 😜⚡

My M10 came with a 160mm "38E" Performance which has a much beefier crown / steerer tube than the 170mm 38 E-Tuned 38 Factory that I immediately put on the bike. The images of the M10 and MTeam models on Orbea's site clearly show the beefier crown. Expand the pics and note relation of crown to bottom of the head tube and then look at image of MLTD.

Well, turns out with a bit of tinkering you can fit a Rockshox deluxe coilto the wild. I got the shock for a great deal, but soon found out that it has bearings in the upper eye. So I took out the bearings and spacer, reamed the upper mount to 17mm H8 and pressed in a igus bushing (GSM-1517-15) shortened to 13,2mm. I then threw some black delrin in the lathe and made 2 spacers. Did my first ride with it today, and it's a tad harsh. Based on my halfassed calculations I put on a 450 pound spring. Guess I'll try the 400# that came with the shock next.

What hubs ship with the m20? I can clearly see the race face rims on the bike, but cannot find the hub spec anywhere.

Thanks,

That’s the ’22 shock, not the new model correct?

Probably. I haven't even checked. I got a smoking deal from RCZ bike shop and thought I'll try it. It's a tight fit, but it's not touching anywhere. Size M frame.

Finally after 3 months of waiting…

Apparently the delay was caused by Fox but the good news is that the fork and the shock are the 2024 models. Which is fantastic especially for the x2.

M10 myO in Raw Carbon with white decals. 170mm Fox38, x2, DH tires etc. 24,3kg (53,57lbs) in size L with the 750wh battery with heavy tires and a Tannus insert in the rear. Could be worse.

Had to do some upgrades like a XT chain, XT shifter for multirelease but the built is nearly perfect. Especially with the colour which ist awesome. Even if it’s hard to see on a picture.

Is that not the M-Team with that suspension?

Hello forum, I’m a new member, but I did quite some reading in the last weeks/months leading to my decision to buy a Orbea wild 2023.

I have one quick question regarding the carbon frame models. Is there any difference in the frames for the different models? Does the m20 model come with a aluminium rocker and the other models with a carbon one?

Thanks
