I’m riding a 2023 Orbea Rise, which has a Shimano Ep801 motor. I have exactly 4223 miles on it and haven’t had any issues at all. Also, the Ep801 is much quieter than the Ep800 that was in my 2020 Rise.

This for me too! I recently tried Tubolight inserts along with a DHF 2.5 exo+ up front and a Dissector 2.4 exo in the rear, on my Rise H10. It turned my bike into a slug! Needless to say, the range went way down also. 18 ounces of added wheel weight really sucks the life out of my bike!

Another brand/model that might interest you, is the Orbea Rise. I too am in Colorado. My 2023 H10 weighs in at 46 pounds and I’m coming up on 4000 miles without any problems. The “M” (carbon) series models are a bit lighter than the “H” (aluminum) models. The newer ones have larger capacity...

Absolutely! They need to install tubing inside the frame and chain stays that is part of the bike, that the cable housing or hose just pushes through.

The manufacturers of all internally routed cables need to use some sort of tubing/conduit in the frame. It would make cable/hose replacement a piece of cake! It would also get rid of cable rattles.

I have a 2023 Rise H10. If im understanding correctly, I should preload the headset by tightening the top cap bolt to 8NM, then tighten the stem bolts to 6NM. It sure seems tight, when turning the bars side to side. I don’t have internal routing. I found a torque setting in the manual that says...

Another proponent of pepper spray, here. I’ve turned away approximately 50 aggressive dogs, through the years. Also, one should carry a “force continuum.” Case in point, one dog was so aggressive that it took a whole can of spray and kept coming at me in an aggressive manner. I called the...

I just wanted to share my experience with this new firmware. I have the 2023 H10, Rise and took it into my LBS for the new firmware. At the same time I was trying to have them set the motor to 85NM, but wasn’t successful. Now I’m glad I didn’t get the 85NM! With the new firmware, I set my bike...

I took my 2023 H10 in for the update and stood by while the girl did it. I’m glad I stuck around, because I figured it out for her. Fortunately this adapter was included with the new stuff they ordered, in order to hook up my bike to their computer. Worked perfectly!

Thanks for the reply, Beerider. I took min in this morning and got the update done. The girl that did the update was unable to change it to 85NM though. She called Shimano and they told her they can do it, if they take over the bike remotely. They needed the bike shop’s Shimano customer number...

Hey Beerider, Is your Rise still at 85NM? If so, I’m just wondering how your bike is holding up. What kind of range are you getting? I’m thinking about having my LBS load the 85NM firmware on my 2023 H10.

I’m thinking about having my shop, up mine to 85NM also, when I get the 4.3.0 firmware update. I loaded the update with the app, but it doesn’t include the overrun, etc. I spoke to a representative at Shimano about it and he didn’t have any issue with loading the 85NM firmware. The only thing he...

I would take a hard look at one of these. https://www.orbea.com/us-en/ebikes/mountain/rise/

Great video! Too crazy for this old guy, that’s for sure. Glad you made it down safely. I’ve been on rides, where I want them to be over. Lol! God is good! Is that up Hwy 108. I think I heard someone reference, Pinecrest. I love that area! Was your bike new? If so, what a way to break it in!

There are some great deals out there right now for the 2023 Orbea Rise. They do have alloy framed models. They are the “H” models. I just got a 2023 H10 Rise for less than $5K, US. I had a 2021 M10 that I paid more than $8500. I really like the new one, because of the larger battery.
