Hi, new here but not to biking.
Current bike a Cannondale Moterra Neo se, but looking to change for a Orbea rise. Live 5 minutes cycle from Swinley Forest, Berkshire.
I found forum whilst looking for info on the Rise.

Welcome! There will be a good few of us with a Rise from Orbea - some have, some are awaiting. It certainly seems to have captured the buying public's attention...

Mine is due July! ?

Thanks
I haven’t ordered yet as I’m unsure what size, I’m 1.75m so between sizes. Can’t find any in stock to try for size.
Also should sell the Cannondale before ordering.

You can add me to the list of Rise owners after it captured my attention. Just ordered an hour ago. Arrives around September ish, hopefully

I prefer a slightly smaller bike, I suspect I’ll end up with a medium. I found one available up North new but over 200 miles to travel. I went M on my current bike and there is no way I would have being comfortable with a large.
Last bike was a Trek powerfly fs in a large and compared to the Cannondale felt like a bit of a tank.

My current bike is an XL and feels huge but strangely fits ok. I’ve compared the geometry to the Rises’ stats and the large Rise will be slightly smaller for me but that’s what I’m after, so all good. I’ve ordered a Rise for my other half too and she’s only slightly shorter than me but she wanted the medium when we compared the stats
