    Orbea Rise sizing

    The formula he is referencing is from lee likes bikes, that formula is supposed to be an online shopping kind of thing, and merely to put you somewhere at around the ballpark (in your case it would put you at an M essentially), that being said even he doesn't think that is the ideal way of doing...

    New 2023 Rise..

    It should be about 1.2kg, given Orbea says their size M carbon frame is now 2.2kg, and that they claimed previously that 3.4kg to be the weight of the aluminium frame. Everything I saw indicates that it is wirelessly connected to the bike, haven't seen a cable coming out of it, and all the...

    New 2023 Rise..

    The cable connects to the screen if it is present. Although yeah a quick search and I didn't find information on how it is powered, if it's by some rechargeable battery, or by actual batteries like the Bosch older stuff.

    New 2023 Rise..

    Orbea says the 360wh battery is 900g lighter than the 540wh, and they also say that the 360wh is 1900g, that would put the 540wh battery at roughly the same weight as they had previously disclosed. So yeah the 540wh battery is almost certainly the same now as it was in previous models...

    from Levo to Rise?

    Don't own a Levo, but have ridden one for a few hours in trails I know well, and have also tried an Orbea Rise (which I also don't own), and got to say far prefer the Rise, it is just a much more lively responsive bike, feel like the difference is especially significant in tight corners or...

    Orbea wild fs 2020 battery options

    At some point it might start to "trickle" charge both batteries at the same time. With that being said I would like to point out even charging at full speed it is actually extremely slow for a lithium ion battery, the 625watts battery has about 16.7amps, so even with the most powerful 6amp...

    Orbea wild fs 2020 battery options

    Honestly it makes sense to me, the main battery is essentially always going to be on the bike, while the second battery is kind of optional and might not be taken to every trip since it can add unnecessary weight in some shorter trips, so at least for me this would be the ideal use case...

    Orbea wild fs 2020 battery options

    This is conjecture on my part, but I believe it would be an update on the motor since it seems to be the brains of the entire thing, both because it is the place where more features are activated according to the service report, but also because it is where every wire connects to, not to mention...
