Orbea Rise EMTB - 16.2KG Superlight

[Rob Rides EMTB]

I didnt get one yet, but heres the details!

 

[Doomanic]

So it's a torque limited full size motor with custom software and a small battery?

 

[super_claret]

It's here...

 

[super_claret]

On the Orbea site now!

Yep!

 

[Doomanic]

It's here...

And it's a bit meh...

 

[danf72]

Wanted to say MEH but looks like it could be a great bike. The 34s would have to go straight away

 

[Doomanic]

And it's a definite "trail" bike with that geo too, oh well.

Still, at least Orbea have opened the doors for other manufacturers to build lighter bikes in a similar vein without requiring custom hardware. Bring on the eDuro's...

 

[MrSimmo]

I'm already thinking - EP8 firmware on the EP8 RS ?

 

[RickBullotta]

Ordering one today - this is the bike I've been waiting for!

 

[Doomanic]

2A charger, lucky it's a small battery... 21700 cells so should be able to accept a much higher charge rate.

Oh dear, I'm sounding a bit negative here...

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good looking bike and a definite step in the right direction (less weight) but I'd be much more interested in a superlight 160/170 eeb. 4000m of climbing is great (presumably that's on both batteries) but only when paired with 4000m of interesting descending. I have no interest in 80KM XC rides.

New 2021 Orbea Rise first ride review – Light eMTB with motor power

Thanks to a modular battery system, the brand-new Orbea Rise with a special-edition Shimano EP8 RS motor weighs just over 18 kg. But how does the bike ride on the trail?

At least the levo sl has some competition now.

Its not what I would be wanting in a bike, but it looks like a very good bike in its own right.

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

already waiting for the inevitable Levo SL vs Orbea Wild video....

 

[RustyMTB]

That's a looker. Anyone want a lightly crashed Stilus?

 

[dobbyhasfriends]

That's a looker. Anyone want a lightly crashed Stilus?

yes, what size?

 

[RickBullotta]

Order placed - and the ability to get completely custom paint and configuration is sweet. Now I just have to wait.....

From where did you order?

 

[Mcharza]

Not rumor anymore. If it ride as good as Occan normal mtb, it should be very good

First Ride: Orbea's Rise is a New Breed of eMTB - Pinkbike

The Rise is the electrified version of the Occam, with a focus on light weight.

Online. There's an entire configurator where you can spec components, paint, etc - I'm in the USA FYI.

As I wrote to another post, if it ride as good as Occam, then it's good everywhere. Maybe not at DH trails
Guys here have lengthen Occam's front suspension to 160 and ride bike parks, enduro trails and xc

 

[R120]

nice

 

[ggx]

What can we say... Olé

 

[R120]

Well I think I might have found my next bike, love the fact it comes with the EW-EN100 Junction A out the box. Wonder if you could mullet it.

 

[RustyMTB]

yes, what size?

Sorry Dobby, I was kidding. BTW, GMBN have a vid up of this thing in the wild.

 

[R120]

Hmm UK site won't let you order one

 

[RickBullotta]

Just FYI Rob, you can change the fork/shock/tire spec on the LTD build. That's what I did. Went with the 36 and the DPX2. I happen to like 760 bars and Rekons. ;-)

 

[stiv674]

Nice looking bike, @Rob Rides EMTB do you know what the M20 weighs?

I'd rather have a display than that clumsy looking joint box thing though.

 

[mark.ai]

Agree with Rob about the tyres (UK wet terrain thing?), handlebar & dropper. But the bike looks very nice!

I assume the normal Shimano power modes of Eco, Trail & Turbo are still available?

 

[RickBullotta]

One other comment: If the 60nm torque limit proves to be problematic, it's literally just a software/firmware tweak to change it. I'm not concerned.
