What a great bike. the medium size and the 5 lbs weight savings makes it feel a bit more nimble than my large Heckler MX-S.
The Heckler does feel more plush though and a bit more premium but the Rise feels great too, very lively.
I‘m currently waiting for some adapter parts to come in so I can have code RSC brakes and SCe8000 display installed. However the stock Shimano brakes are pretty good. Honestly for the price, Orbea put together a nice package with the M20. (With the exception of the saddle which IMO is awful, but that’s an easy fix)
I think I’m going to try and get this bike down to the 36lb spec because pound or kilos definitely make a difference.
