From today's quickie:

Someone asked this question in Orbea's official 2025 Wild -video on youtube. Orbea replied saying it wont work: " ...If you mount the linkage in a 2023 model the clearance between the motor mount and rear chainstay bridge would be too tight! "

Just ordered for my Orbea Wild:

2023 M-Team (carbon) Had it for just over a year. About 2000km. The cranks keep coming loose even after I applied loctite. The motor cover broke after a few rides. Other than that it's all good. If it wasn't for the fact that I am so intrigued about the Pinion MGU, I would probably buy the...

Discount in picture below from when I pre-ordered my 2023 Orbea Wild M-Team back in November 2022. (IMO a great deal for being a brand new, unreleased bike with a lot of hype surrounding it. AND I could customize it quite a bit as well. [longer fork, shorter stem, taller bars, longer dropper...
