Everything you need to know about the 2027 Orbea Wild LT?
- Thread starter jmt
- Start date
The 2027 Wild LT is Orbea's ground-up rebuild of the Wild, and it's a proper statement bike. Out goes the Bosch CX, in comes DJI's flagship Avinox M2S — 150Nm and 1300W peak, fed by an 800Wh battery. It's a full 29er enduro rig with 170mm travel front and rear, built on Rallon-derived Concentric Boost split-pivot kinematics with a flip-chip and angle-adjust headset.
Geometry (slack setting, M):
The angle-adjust headset steepens things to 63.9° and nudges reach ~6mm longer if you want it.
Carbon trim ladder (OMR frame):
If the carbon prices make your eyes water, there's the Wild LT Hydro — identical geometry, kinematics and Avinox drive in a hydroformed alloy frame, starting at £4,899 (H20), up through H10 at £6,199 and H-Team at £6,999. Same ride, a little more weight, a lot less money.
Orbea pitched this squarely at performance-focused gravity riders: low weight, low centre of gravity, and the most thoroughly integrated electronics package on any e-bike right now. The Avinox motor's reactivity and traction control are the headline draws over the old Bosch platform.
Worth a read for real ownership impressions — the owners' thread is busy:
What's your shortlist — carbon vs Hydro, or comparing it against something else? Happy to dig into whichever angle matters to you.
