Im riding with the Zoic Ventor liner and yes, it has the horizontal fly. Personally I find it a bonus and definitely prefer it over regular no-fly liners. I frequently ride with a hip pack so this may impact my preference.

I'd recommend going to a shop for a proper diagnostic. At a minimum clean the charging port thoroughly, but best move is the shop. Good luck

If the range extender is connected to the bike (plugged into) then it SHOULD be visible in etube

OP, you say your looking for an XC style bike but you're looking at the Rise LT. Is there a reason you're not looking at the Rise SL?

I'm really sorry to hear this. That said, if you can ride with them, they should be able to ride with you. If they can't, they're not the friends you thought they were. Again, so sorry. That's a real bummer

I've only seen reference to avtive saddles failing. Obviously non-active saddles could fail also, but I've never seen a report of that happening. My guess is that the rider who gets the failed saddle is below the weight limit but not radically below (as was my case at the time of my failure)...

Every bum has a saddle to fit it. Once I found "the one" (SQ Lab 611) I've stuck with it and not looked back. I've never found a shop that offers "test tide" saddles, but I can understand why they don't. Prior to settling on the 611 I rode several different saddles (an expensive pain in the...

I have owned, and currently own many SQ Lab 611 saddles. I have bent "active" models but never (knocks on wood) a non-active s-tube model. Obviously each riders experience differs but I'm a firm believer in SQLab saddles. Bummer you've had a poor experience with them

The way I look at it is this: Just because you have an e-mtb doesn't mean you have to ride your friends into the ground. Ride at whatever their pace is For me, I've been on mountain bikes since the commercial dawn of the sport in the early 1980's, so as far as I'm concerned: I've been...

E-bar is pre-drilled for wired controller and has a different damping/flex character vs the standard bars to account for the greater weight of the emtb. FWIW, I've used both and been happy with both.

I've got short legs (30" inseam) so I've never been fond of long cranks. I put 155mm 5Dev on my Rise and absolutely love them. Pedal strikes have essentially disappeared and I am seeing no downsides. I'm planning on a Rise LT for next year and that bike will either get these 5Devs transplanted...

Per Orbea Rise Hydro 2023 blue paper, page 49, max chainring size is 34t. Min is 30t. https://orbea.dash.app/browse/5173d995-b087-4859-810d-6889ae377bab?portal=orbea-manuals

Bike looks sweet. Nice work

This. Do this. It's cheap, easy, and works every time. The actual SQLab measuring tool is a variation of this.
