Slack 65° head angle, 170mm travel and a long 1261mm wheelbase — composed in the chunk, confident when it gets steep, and stable through fast corners.

EMTB Forums verdict
The Rallon RS is Orbea's statement piece: a 170mm/180mm carbon e-enduro bike built around the tiny TQ HPR40 motor (40Nm, 200W peak) and a fixed 290Wh battery. It is deliberately the opposite of the full-power arms race. Orbea claims the RS-LTD weighs 17.45kg in a medium, only slightly heavier than the unassisted Rallon, and the assistance is deliberately subtle: a helping hand for the climbs rather than a shuttle.
The real headline is integration. Motor, Fox Float X2 Live Valve Neo e-shock (RS-LTD), Shimano Di2 derailleur and Orbea's own MC10 electronic dropper all run off the one main battery, controlled from a single RS HMI remote. The RS-TEAM (£9,679) keeps the wired Di2 drivetrain and dropper but swaps to a mechanical Float X2 Factory shock and XT components, while the RS-LTD (£13,199) adds XTR, carbon Oquo MC32LTD wheels and the electronic suspension. Both are also sold as factory Mullet builds with a dedicated rocker link, and the MyO configurator opens up further spec and colour choices.
Geometry is pure Rallon: 455mm reach and a 64.25 degree head angle on a medium in the neutral setting, 445mm chainstays, with an Attitude Adjust flip chip, plus-or-minus 0.75 degree headset cups and the choice of 29er or mullet links. It is a niche, expensive proposition, but for fit riders who want enduro capability with only a whisper of assistance there is currently almost nothing else like it.

What the numbers mean on the trail
Computed from this bike's geometry, spec and build kit — reach, wheelbase, chainstay, head and seat angles, travel, motor, weight and the fork/tyre/brake spec — and worked out per size, because a fixed chainstay can make an S and an XL feel very different.

Playfulness
98
Short 445mm rear and a lighter build — easy to pop, manual and throw around.
Size balance
88
Balanced front-to-rear in L (FC:RC 1.84) — weight sits evenly between the wheels.
Technical climbing
43
A workmanlike climber — expect to put in more rider effort on the steep stuff. 200W of peak power and 40Nm of torque.
Easy to throw around; happiest when you're active on the bike.
Lower torque or a slacker seat angle — fine, just don't expect a winch.

⚙️ Adjustable geometry: this frame has a high/low setting — low drops the BB and slackens the head angle for more descending stability; high lifts the BB and steepens slightly for clearance and a perkier, more playful feel.
Computed from geometry + spec, not a paid review. Scores are guidance, not gospel.

“I have one. What do people want to know? I have very little interest in full power e-mtbs and this is my idea type of e-mtb in a lot of ways. I'm not sure it meets the XC bike up/enduro down perfectly but it is an amazing enduro bike…”
