    Ohilins coil Shock on Medium Rise frame?

    I had one on my mine as well as another buddy of mine. On hard hits, it rubbed the frame. Tried using an offset bushing(s), still hit on on hard impacts. Unfortunately we both had to remove, both on size medium. I've heard running another brand spring that is smaller in circumference may work...

    2023 Pivot Shuttle SL - Super Light

    Being a Pivot, will probably start at 10K and go up to 15K, no thanks. I'll stick with my 6k Rise all day every day!

    will the orbea rise see any updates

    There will be, always is. This this only the 2nd year of the Rise, so maybe next year, if not, then by 2024 at the latest. I suspect 10mm more travel front / rear, slacker by 1 degree. The bigger battery as in the H model.

    Is the orbea Rise suspension progressive?

    Yes I get that, but were also talking 5mm difference between the Fox 36 2021/2022, which is 571, compared to the Zeb which is 576, if were talking about a 160mm. Yes its something to consider but I dont see it as an issue. Its a whole 5mm! Plenty of people running it without any issue. Plenty of...

    Is the orbea Rise suspension progressive?

    I just spoke to Cascade links as well last week. They are very interested in making a link for the Rise and WILL be taking a look to see if they can make a link that would benefit the bike or not. And as already stated, the Rise is one of the top selling bikes out there, it would be in their...

    2022 Nukeproof Megawatt launched

    I agree, hate that head tube routing, how f'ing cheap and stupid! This trend needs to go from the mtn bike manufacturing asap! This alone cancels me from even looking at this bike. Will not buy a bike with this type of routing. Excludes from running any other headset, anglesets, etc. Absolute a...

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo 2022

    This is what my LBS in the states quoted me for the pricing, 11,000 for expert, 13,000 for Pro, and 15,000 for SWORKS!! Holy f$#K, that's just ridiculous!! Wouldn't tell me anything as far as specs goes, just confirmed what everyone already has posted in here.

    Is the orbea Rise suspension progressive?

    I definitely can't wait to hear some ride reports from people making these changes. These changes will definitely change the reach on the bike big time! Raising the front and dropping the back for the sake of keeping the bb the same is seriously going to shorten the reach. These changes are...

    Is the orbea Rise suspension progressive?

    Wow now that's interesting! I was just thinking increasing the stroke a little, maybe to 52.5 increasing travel by 7-8mm in the rear. But that sounds sick af and then throwing a 27.5 on the back! Nice! I wander how it rides with 161mm in the back!

    Is the orbea Rise suspension progressive?

    Any update on how the bike rides with the coil? Have a M10 coming in shortly and thinking of putting my Rockshox SuperDeluxe Utl coil on it to try it out. Also going to swapping out fork for a Fox 36 grip 2 160mm, swapping out for my current wheelset and adding cushcore. Thinking weight will...

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo 2022

    Updated geo for sure, maybe even smaller battery options, 350wt internal, with optional external extender would be the shit! With full power motor! This would get the weight down to the low 40lbs range. I'd buy immediately.

    YT Decoy 2021rumors...

    I get that, I've ridden the large and it felt like a tank for me, I'm 5'7 and it just felt off and just plain to big. Yea the reach was nice but everything else was off. I shouldn't have to size up throwing the balance off of every where else. Wish the large felt right as I would do it if it...

    YT Decoy 2021rumors...

    I agree, they need to make changes, the reach of 430 on a medium in my opinion sucks! After riding bikes with at least 450, I can never go back to anything shorter. Feel so cramped and so front heavy, body position is just not optimal. I dont need super slack hta but at least maybe 64.5/64 with...

    YT Decoy 2021rumors...

    And updated geo! Medium needs to be 64 HTA, 77 sta, and 450 reach minimum! If the geo isn't update, doesn't matter what they do. If all they do is ep8 and battery, I'm out! The geo needs to be updated! And a light version, 160/150, mullet, around 40lbs, updated geo, all in!!
