Orbea Rise Hydro series reliability?

[xbenx]

Hey folks,

I posted previously between buying either a Orbea Rise h20 for £2700 or the Trek Fuel ExE at £3300, after many youtube videos watched and forum posts read i think i'm decided on thw Orbea, from a value standpoint alone it's the clear choice (?) and as an ebike it appears to preform a lot better/range/power.

However a lot of the threads i've delved mention issues with the rear linkages, cracks in the frame, cable rattle and other issues. How prominent or common are these faults, is it simply over reporting due to the popularity of the Orbea Rise? It's the only issues that's really dissuaded me from making the final purchase .

Are there any positive Orbea Rise owner experiences?

My 2022 H30 has been good apart from the weak rear hub which I had to replace. It's a nice, fairly lightweight trail bike and I now have the EP8 settings on it (500W, 85nm) which makes it great for the steep terrain I ride on. I'm a 70kg rider and I don't jump the bike.
For heavier riders pushing the bike hard there might be better choices.
