    Orbea Rise Hydro 2025 or 2024? How much extra would you spend on 2025?

    It is a stronger, more powerful bike in every respect. I've never ridden one but my riding buddy has and he had only positive things to say. Some of it may depend upon what type of riding you do (i.e. cross country, downhill, etc.). If you are coming from a traditional mountain bike, I think...

    Orbea Rise SL Range

    I'm about 103 KG fully kitted out. I live in an area that is relatively flat. I own both a 2021 M10 (360 WH battery) and a 2023 MTeam (upgraded to the 540 WH battery). I've gotten a little over 40 miles (42?) out M10 with 360 WH and that was with a mix of assist modes, mostly trail but...

    Hip Hydration For Smaller Woman

    Hi All, Can anyone recommend a hip belt hydration pack that would work well for a smaller woman. She's 5'2" and 108# so has a slender waist and frame. I have the Evoc 5L (with 1.5L bladder) and even it is bulky on her. Any smaller riders that have found something that has worked well for...

    Would ep801 put you off buying a bike ?

    I've had 2. The original EP800 and recently added another bike with the EP801. Both have been flawless although I've only had the new one for a few weeks. It varies from bike to bike but my EP800 had very little rattle. My EP801 has none and is remarkably quiet in operation. I would...

    Replaced 2021 M10 With 2023 MTeam; My First Impressions

    What did you change with emax? Did you allow the full 85 NM? Change the max speed? I'm in the US so the motor doesn't cut off until 20 MPH which is fine for me. If I were in the UK or somewhere else where the motor cutoff at 25 KPH, I'd likely tweak the settings to get the higher max speed...

    Replaced 2021 M10 With 2023 MTeam; My First Impressions

    I own a 2021 M10 that has been great and still works well. I've had it for 2 years and ridden an average of 1-2x/week so have good familiarity with it. For a variety of reasons, I just bought a 2023 MTeam and I'll keep both. Not sure if it benefits anyone but here is how they compare after my...

    Polished my Pole and gave it a make over.

    I do mostly trail riding and don't need as much travel as this bike has but that is one sexy looking beast!

    Orbea Rise Carbon Battery Life- help needed

    I have a 2021 M10 with the 360. Just upgraded to a 2023 and opted for the larger battery. I've not really had any issues with range but, given the choice, I'm going for the bigger one.

    2023 Orbea Rise M-Team - Replacement Stem Question

    My 2023 Orbea Rise M-Team has just arrived. I have not yet picked it up from the bike shop. I bought an assortment of things from the bike shop that I wanted to change, mostly contact points (saddle, pedals, grips). I also want to change to a riser stem due to a recurring back issue that does...

    Orbea Rise Carbon Battery Life- help needed

    OP, I have a 2021 Carbon M10 with the 360 WH battery. I'm around 215 pounds. I routinely do 20 mile rides with about 1300-1600 ft of elevation change and end with about 20% battery left. That is toggling between assist modes based upon the grade but I'm not a terribly fit rider and I use all...

    Orbea Rise Carbon Battery Life- help needed

    I have the bike that you are talking about and the 360 is sufficient for those rides at your bodyweight without any issues. With that said, I'm buying a new Rise and I'm opting for the bigger battery to give me the option for longer rides.
