I’m guessing a revised charging port flap and some different colours for the 2023 M models!
I did the question about an E- rallon directly to Orbea on Instagram the other day, and they answer me as "tough question.." and nothing more...
Tough question really should have been an Easy answer...Hey Orbea! Get rid of the wild and make the E-Rallon already

@Rob Rides EMTB when will you share infos about your last visit at Orbea. I'm having the finger on the trigger for a fuel exe order but before I order want to check what orbea will come up for next year.
We understand you can not speak in detail about it before the official release, but please @Rob Rides EMTB give us just info about the date of publication of your video

My lbs told me that end of september he will get more infos from orbea about the delivery of 2023 Orbea Rise models. So maybe around that time we will know more about the new 2023 models.
As soon as I can share any details about anything I will. Any release dates from and brands about future stuff is always under strict embargoes etc 
Today Rob is in Finale Ligure, and it seems he attended the presentation of new Bosch eMTB system. Being the week of the eEWS, it could be the perfect location for the presentation of the new Orbea Wild with this system...

not a dubious claim at all, the lightweight segment has blown up and changes had to be made to stay out in front, and the flip paint looks
On the ORBEA FB post yesterday evening a hint of some kind of news: "The Orbea Wild, for the second consecutive year, winner of the EWS-E. Stay tuned in the coming days to our networks because we will have news about this bike.".
Whether it actually means news about the Wild range, or just news regarding that actual bike (eg putting the winning frame up for sale / a competition prize or something, I know not.

Guess it only will have the new bosch race motor. Since this motor was also shown there.
Looks like that news was, after all, a raffle for the bike... I got this today :
¡LLÉVATE LA WILD FS GANADORA DE LAS EWS-E!1
Flo Espiñeira se proclamó el pasado jueves en Finale Ligure (Italia) campeona de las EWS-E a lomos de su Wild FS. ¡Regístrate ahora y participa en el sorteo de la Wild FS de Flo!

Since Simplon and BMC came up lately with a new Bike using the TQ-HPR 50 I still wonder if we will probably see something like an Orbea Rise with that Drive Train. I've riden both the Orbea Rise and the Fuel Exe. A Rise with TQ Drivetrain would be an absolute killer. Especially if the customization of the Bike is still done using the myo you could basically get YOUR own Bike with the same parts (Brakes, Suspension etc.) for less Money than a Trek Fuel Exe since they charge less for the name and much less for color options. What do you guys think? Am I just an optimistic naive dreamer or could this happen?

It could definitely happen. Orbea isn't a brand that sticks with a single drivetrain across their lineup. Obviously the wild uses a bosch drivetrain, although that does seem to be the outlier. I definitely expect orbea to stick with the ep8rs or shimano variant for another revision of the rise and/or a long travel sibling. With the way the development cycles work, I wouldn't expect orbea to switch away from their RS marketing and efforts after a single go with the rise. I have no inside information to back this up, just a hunch. I think the battery tech and firmware will get an update before they start exploring other drivetrains like the TQ or Fauza... but I would expect them to be playing with those on proto's now.
The regular smaller/lighter battery for most days and the range extender for long days. Adds versatility.

Anyone know when Orbea usually presents their next year models? When should we know the latest if their will be a new Orbea Rise 2023 for example?

I have heard zero information about a new Rise, only that there's a new Wild FS coming for 2023.
Usually they send out a teaser vid with a date when release is getting close.....

What do you think it says?
Assuming they are sticking with Bosch they'll need to update their design to suit the 750Wh battery, like every other brand has.

@Fat Rat all I'm saying is they were going to have to redesign the frame anyway to accomodate the bigger battery. There's slightly more involved than putting a couple of longer tubes in (carbon and alloy frames in multiple sizes).
Hopefully they also look at the snappy seat tubes and chainstays at the same time

It's not just that though, they've slackened it out, changed the seat tube angle and post diameter. This will mean redesign of the rear link and suspension kinematics. Certain brands like Orbea have a straight line from the top tube running down the seatstay, it's not as simple as just adding length to tubes because it has an effect on the whole geometry of the bike.

Lower spec and higher cost was how our LBS described the 2023 range. Grabbed myself a cut price H30 yesterday and have Fox 36s and some other toys on the way as well.

The Wild FS had a 3 year product cycle, 2020, 2021 and 2022. That's not really out of the norm to get a new frame coming for 2023.
Their alloy frames have had issues with cracking, but I have 8 months of some pretty hard riding on my carbon frame and its been flawless.

The Wild FS needed a redesign. 455mm reach on a large was about 20-30mm too short.

I totally agree, the medium Devinci eBike I also have had a 460mm reach. It would be nice to see geo number’s similar to a Rallon.
If the Wild had a better geo from the start, I would have picked one up instead of my Rail.....Still would have ended up with my Rise. Still hoping they release a e-Rallon based off the RS platform.
The wild fs is due a refresh IMO, the geo was a little outdated even back when it was released, but I think ebikes tend to work better with shorter reaches than regular bikes, its the long chainstays I dont like.
I think the first ones hit the shops in the last half of 2019,so they'll have had over 3 years of sales out of it, which is a long time for the same model.
My carbon wild fs has been good, no significant issues with the bike itself , although I have had one new motor and one kiox display replaced under warranty.
Just bought a trek fuel exe as I was getting fed up of waiting for specialized and orbea to announce whatever is next in the lightweight world. I suspect in orbeas case it will just be a new wild fs, ie full fat bike, I think the rise will stay untouched except for price and spec changes for at least another year. It will beinteresting to see what specialized do , and whatever it is will be bound to be expensive - hence going for a trek fuel exe now.
Undecided whether to keep the wild fs as a backup ebike and for days when I'm out with others on full fat bikes or just sell it.
