The latest is the 2021 Orbea FS Wild M-10 on the bike rack. It replaced the Trek Rail 9.7 in the pic below. Below from right to left is 2020 Kenevo, 2019 Levo S-Works, and the 2021 Trek Rail 9.7.

How do you compare the wild to the rail? Is it much better?
this may answer your question. While the Trek Rail and the Orbea Wild keeps getting tested as being pretty much equals, I only had the Trek for under 100 miles and when I rode the Orbea, I put the Trek up for sale. Not because the Trek was a bad bike, oh no. Trek rail very very nice, but the Orbea for me just rode a bit above the Trek. I am not even going to change the suspension I dont believe, unless I put an EXT Astoria shock on the back of the Orbea. The Trek has a much better charging port, and the rear magnet that is not on the wheel beats the Orbea, until this year. They are now putting the disc mount on the Orbea for the speed sensor finally. Also, the Orbea charging port is such a pain I got so frustrated with it last week, I left it off, which made me even more frustrated. The front battery door on the Orbea is also in question as it is barely held on by a cheap little plastic part the is not much bigger than a #2 pencil lead. I do LOVE the Orbea nearly as much as my upgraded suspension on my S-Works Levo which is so on point. FYI, I am a 225lb rider and this is just my opinion.
