Orbea Rise , anyone seen one yet ?

[chrismechmaster]

First proper outing today on the rise very very happy , did 15 miles around Swinley mostly in eco and a bit of trail , used only 20% of the battery amazing

might cancel that range extender ?
I also swap the resr tyre out for a discestor

Was amazing how well this bike ride with the motor off to !!

My

only slight gripe this is the first bike I have owned / ridden with a shimano xtr transmission , my Levo has the basic gx transmission and to be fair the gx shifts faultlessly every single time and seams to shift cleaner then the xtr was on my rise

I am assuming the bike shop probably hasn’t got it dialled in quite correct surely
the xtr should be much better than a sram gx ??

Double check the pulley wheel gap.

First big ride today, 44miles from sea level up onto Dartmoor and a few DH tracks in the woods. Mostly on eco upto the moor and then trail/boost for some of the steep climbs. 5 hrs in total and got back with 15% battery. A few things I’ve noticed and may need to sort out, the Dps shock is blowing through its travel a bit too easy, might switch back to my spare Monarch Plus rc3, the rear tyre has to go, the chain is wearing out the frame protector right by the chainring, might need something more there .

 

[chrismechmaster]

Defo agree with the rear tyre I swapped mine out for a discestor I had much better

The bike should have shipped with the larger volume spacer. Put that in and reset sag.

Unfortunately not

Will see if any mates have a spare fox one

 

[chrismechmaster]

I never got a spare either

 

[Steve G H]

Me neither

 

[RickBullotta]

Me neither

I specd a DPX2 - maybe that’s why I got one.

 

[PhilS]

My M10 came with the spacer - It comes in a small Orbea branded box along with the manuals, tubeless valves, charger etc ask your LBS to give it to you if they kept it.

@DanMcDan - a larger chainring might be your solution to the wear on the protector. It will move the chain up a little and also mean you are in the smaller cassette sprockets less, increasing the height further.

 

[DanMcDan]

I’m not sure EThirteen make a a larger chainring for the Rise?

 

[PhilS]

They make 34t and 36t at £50 each, or a standard Shimano steel one would fit too, and last a lot longer but costs double and weighs more...

Funn do direct mount chainrings for Steps system too

Great thanks all ?

 

[PhilS]

Its on my to do list for mine, but not a cheap swap when you need to buy a specific tool, new chainring and possibly a new chain too!

Feb '21 M10 shop bought with DPX2, came with grey volume spacer as a spare.

Wow I tried out Profile 2 on my ride today - I turned up Eco by 1 assist level (so it was pretty equivalent to Trail on Profile 1), and Boost was already set to max on everything. Overall the power really did seem similar to my full fat E8000 bike, but with marginally less battery % used - it's like there is some magic going on ...

Would like to try and reduce the initial surge on Boost now, And probably turn up Trail a bit so it is closer to Boost but with a better response to input.

 

[chrismechmaster]

I rode profile 2 on Sunday Absoulutly loved it

Did you make changes on profile 1 before? It does come stock pretty flat, like most in the low setting.. Profile 2 has more assist and torque stock.. I was told they are the same, just depends on settings you have for each of the 3 modes in 1 & 2.

 

[chrismechmaster]

Hi no I tried both profiles in standard form only
I just found profile 2 much more lively

I need to have a play about in profile one as only tried it for a few minutes before changing and spending the rest of the day in two

 

[Yzlvr]

Yes profile 1 is very tuned down stock, 2 is turned up a bit.. but not maxed.

 

[chrismechmaster]

If you turn up profile one does it not just turn into profile two ?

Or do they really have some different Characteristics

if you set profile 1 and 2 the same, they will be the same. Stock they are set up different, that's why they feel different..

 

[jka]

I have ridden both profiles as they come stock for a while and I like them where they are. You'r right, if you turn up profile 1 to profile 2 levels, you'll just have two profile 2's. I use profile 1 when I'm riding alone and want a good workout. I can leave on eco and work hard or bump up to trail or even boost if needed. I also use it when I ride with my wife on her full power ebike since she doesn't go quite as fast. If I ride with my son or someone else with a FP ebike, I set it to profile 2. I find that my profile 2 seems about the same level of assist as their bikes. At least I can keep up with them OK.

I felt the rear end on my M10 was a bit harsh so put the larger volume spacer in and it was better. I then added Cush Core Pro to the rear and its a different bike, absolutely awesome. I am 80kg and running 21psi in the rear, feels bottomless. So impressed I am fitting a Cush Core XC to the front and will go for 17psi. I've got a 160mm air shaft coming and that will be me all done i.e. those are only changes and bike feels great. I ride some very rocky enduro trails up here in Scotland and its smashing them.
QUESTION: Is there any way to see how many hours or miles you have put on the EP8RS motor? I cannot see anything on the e-Tube App? It would be handy for fork/shock service intervals.

I'm not sure about the eTube mobile app, but the eTube Windows app definitely provides that type of data (and other diagnostics).

Hi Rick, so do you need to connect the bike to a laptop with a special cable?

 

[PhilS]

Stunlocker app tells you a lot of info (without having to pay premium license for region change etc)
