Yeah, I can understand why they didn't go with the new 800, still dissapointing to say the least though. Headset cable routing is a big one, no one likes it. They obviously made a completely new mould for the frame, the fact they didn't add cable ports to it is beyond me.
I don't think they made a new mold, I believe they could have just gotten away with a revision. If they had made a new mold I would assume they could use the 800wh battery.
It's a new head angle and motor though, surely it's a new mould.
Did it has any other advantages than the plus 50Wh?
The 750 is the old one, not using the high density cells, so basically it’s a big weight penalty to select it over the 600. It’s also cheaper to go with the 600wh battery so that’d be my pick. The only thing causing hesitation is if they bump up the power output in half a year like the rumors say, it’ll drain that 600 a bit quicker.
According to Pinkbike, the 63.5 HA is due to the 170mm travel fork.
It's more than just 50wh, it's the newer high density cells. So the battery has 50wh more but is also a pound lighter.
The 800Wh battery is also not as long as the 750Wh so it has a better/lower center of gravity which will help bike handling.
I think the 800wh battery is 5" shorter too. So that definitely gets the weight much lower. Again another reason why I can't imagine Orbea is using the 750wh over the 800wh.
170 fork was standard on the 23 Wild though wasn't it? With 160 being an option?
Other way around.
Ahh okay.
There was in the past no up of the rear travel, it was 160m all the time.
Someone asked this question in Orbea's official 2025 Wild -video on youtube.
Thanks, i thought maybe add the link on to an on sale '24 could be a bargain. Oh well, better to get the new motor lighter bike
I guess the cs bridge contacts the frame at full travel. It might be worth a try after short stroking a shock by 2.5mm. Travel would still be 164 and it'd be mullet
I wouldnt bet against that
That looks sick! I'm in the market... Until just 3 nights ago I had an M10 with factory upgrade fork and coil shock, but some dickwad decided they needed it more than me and stole it. Custom paint, pretty recognisable so I'm not sure what they'll be able to do with it... But hey, that looks mint and probably what my insurance will be going onFinally, after months of waiting ... the bike is absolutely awesome

173cm/5'8", so right middle on Orbea size chart for M. My own body geometry is more like shortish feet's and longish back and arms
The 2024 M that I drove, was compact feeling and maybe just long enough. I still prefer more nimble sizing, and no chance to test 2025 L.
You are literally the same as me, I've ridden the demo large at our shop and I've personally ordered a large, but it does feel a little long. I'm coming off of a Pole K1 size Voima. If you like the feel of a nimble bike my suggestion is to go with a medium.173cm/5'8", so right middle on Orbea size chart for M.
