Orbea Urrun 2022

From £3,499

The 2022 Urrun was Orbea's first aluminium trail e-hardtail, launched in May 2022 around a 120mm fork, 29in wheels and the lightweight Shimano EP8-RS motor shared with the Orbea Rise. The RS tune trades outright grunt for a quieter, more natural-feeling 60Nm delivery, and the 540Wh integrated battery (extendable to 792Wh with the optional 252Wh RS range extender) is aimed at long days out rather than lap-shuttle laps.Two builds were sold, both on the same hydroformed 6061 alloy frame. The Urrun 10 at £4,299 is the sharper spec: a Fox 34 Float Performance fork, four-piston Magura MT5 brakes, a 12-speed Shimano XT drivetrain, tubeless Race Face wheels and an OC Mountain Control dropper post. The £3,499 Urrun 30 keeps the frame, motor and battery but steps down to a Marzocchi Bomber Z2 fork, Magura MT30 brakes, a 10-speed Shimano Deore group and a rigid alloy seatpost.Geometry is trail-leaning but restrained by modern standards, with a 66 degree head angle (65.5 on the S), a roughly 74.5 to 74.8 degree effective seat angle and 445mm chainstays across the range. Reach runs from 395mm on the S to 460mm on the XL, so this is an efficient, easy-going distance hardtail rather than an aggressive descender.

Geometry read

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.

Size

Descending

A solid all-round descender (66° head angle, 120mm) — capable in the rough and steep without being an all-out bruiser.

Playfulness

Short 445mm rear and a lighter build — easy to pop, manual and throw around.

Size balance

Rear-long with a planted front in L (FC:RC 1.64) — easy to weight the front and quick to turn, though it can feel light at the back at real speed.

Technical climbing

Shimano EP8 (DU-EP800) and a steep 74.6° seat angle keep the weight planted over the front — a proper winch. 500W of peak power and 85Nm of torque — a strong full-power motor.

Best suited toPlayful trail riding — jumps, pumps and tight, techy singletrack.

Easy to throw around; happiest when you're active on the bike.

Watch out forNo major red flags in the L geometry.

The numbers are well balanced for its category.
