Wild TR 2026

The Wild TR is the Bosch-powered, shorter-travel companion to Orbea's new Avinox-equipped Wild LT - and the one that will fit far more riders' trails and budgets. Where the LT chases big-mountain descending on DJI's 150 Nm Avinox M2S, the TR sticks with the proven Bosch Performance Line CX and dials the travel back to a do-everything 150 mm front and rear. Orbea's own framing is "a wider audience": five builds, carbon or alloy, from £4,399 to £8,799.

Why Bosch, not Avinox

The headline difference from the LT is the drive unit. The TR runs the Bosch Performance Line CX (Gen 5) - up to 120 Nm and 750 W - which remains the benchmark full-power motor for natural, quiet, reliable delivery across a wide cadence range. It is less peak power than the LT's Avinox, but it is the motor a lot of riders actively want. One knock-on: the LT moved to Avinox partly to relocate the main pivot and cut anti-squat, and the Bosch unit's packaging rules that out, so expect the TR's pedalling feel to sit closer to the previous-generation Wild than to the LT.

Battery & range

Bosch PowerTube, with a genuine choice: a 600 Wh pack for lighter, livelier handling or a 750 Wh pack for range, both selectable in Orbea's MyO builder (all five 2026 builds ship with the 750 Wh as standard). A Bosch PowerMore 250 Wh range extender is compatible, taking the total to around 1,000 Wh for big days. The battery is removable, and the Bosch system pairs with the Kiox display and a Bluetooth remote, so there are no control wires to route to the motor.

Frame, suspension & the dedicated 29er call

The TR comes in carbon (M-series) and aluminium (H-series), sharing the Rallon-inspired industrial design of the LT albeit with a chunkier down tube and motor casing. Suspension is a concentric axle pivot and rocker link driving a 205x57.5 mm shock for the 150 mm of rear travel, with a leverage curve similar to the LT's. Unlike the LT, the TR is a dedicated 29er - no mullet option and no flip chip - a deliberate choice for rollover, efficiency and simplicity. Two honest trade-offs against the LT: it keeps the divisive through-headset cable routing (no alternative offered), and it drops the LT's quick-access multitool and gets simpler chainstay protection.

Geometry

The numbers are pitched at trail and all-mountain rather than full enduro: a 64.5° head angle (a touch sharper than the slacker LT, for quicker handling and better cornering on flatter ground), a steep 78.4° effective seat angle for an upright, central climbing position, and 448 mm chainstays held constant across the range. Reach runs 440-509 mm (S-XL) with stack from 619 to 645 mm and wheelbases of 1,219-1,302 mm. As with the LT, the rear centre does not grow with the front, so larger sizes sit increasingly front-biased.
