I'll keep this in mind as I'm waiting for my new Rocky Mountain to show up.

By the sounds of it, they do. It looks like the loudness varies between models although, they all seem to have it to some degree.

There is There isn't even one to sit on.

Are you saying I should fly overseas to test ride a MTB?? I'm happy to spend the money, don't get me wrong there. There aren't any demo to be ridden... in the country. If they are selling bikes within the country, they should have demo bikes, simple. There's no stress, I'm going to support...

With none available to ride, that's the only thing I have to go by. This opens another question actually. Manufacturers are trying to sell bikes by reviews only. At least they could do is supply a range of bikes, within the country, for people to test ride. Maybe they just don't deserve the sales?

Hmmm, not as easy as that unfortunately. There are none available to ride.

I would be surprised if it went away. It doesn't seem to be that type of noise.

This is where the main problem lies. I can not get a test bike to ride, I only have reviews I find on the internet to guide me. I can certainly get other bikes to test with the Gen 4 motor driving them although, it isn't the Orbea. At this stage, I think it's going to be a miss for me. I'm now...

Check the second post down. There's been a lot of feedback as to where the noise is generating from?

It’s a hard one. I’m like you, I like a quiet bike. You’d like to think there’s a fix on the way although, it probably won’t come from Bosch first unfortunately.

To pay a large sum of money and have that noise... it’s a deal breaker for me unfortunately. It’s not great that it gets worse over time either.

Also, thanks to all the posters and also EMTB for providing such an engaging platform ?

I had virtually made up my mind to buy this bike.. the rattling noise thou. It'd drive me nuts. Not only the noise but knowing it's there and not being able to fix it.

Mate that would be awesome if you could do that. I've actually held off buying a bike for a few weeks to see what happens. I've gone back to work now so I can't be tempted to just 'settle' ??

This is the noise I was talking about! thanks so much for posting the video highlighting the problem. I apologise for not responding for so long. I'm currently on a remote worksite in the Australian desert and have a little trouble finding reliable Wifi!
