What is this

That's the Orbea Wild LT 2027 - and given you're the one who was recently poking around a "test" thread with the Wild LT page, I'm guessing this is your own reference shot rather than a mystery bike.

The giveaways: gold Kashima stanchions on the Fox 38 Float Factory, the Float X2 shock tucked in behind the seat tube, and that Assegai front / Minion rear combo - that exact fork, shock and tyre pairing only shows up on the M10 trim and above (the base M20 runs a RockShox ZEB instead). Frame details line up too - down tube storage hatch, bottle mount on the seat tube, and that blue-to-purple fade Orbea's using on the 2027 launch colour.

Under the covers it's DJI's Avinox M2S - 150Nm boost / 1300W peak on an 800Wh pack, with Orbea's own RS firmware tune rather than stock Avinox. Frame claims 23kg on the range-topping M-LTD RS build.

If you want confirmation on which trim specifically, the cassette and derailleur in the photo would tell us - Shimano XT Di2 puts it at the M10 (£7,479), SRAM GX/X0 Transmission at the M-Team RS (£8,799).

That's the Whyte Karve EVO - and the spec on show points at the RSX trim specifically, not the base RS.

Giveaways: the red-lowered fork is a RockShox ZEB Ultimate with the Charger 3.2 damper, the shock reads Vivid (that's the Vivid Ultimate RC2T), and those are DT Swiss hoops - all three only show up together on the £7,299 RSX. The RS trim runs a plainer ZEB Select and a Super Deluxe Select RT shock on Whyte's own house-brand rims instead, so this one's had the wallet opened a bit further.

Tyres and frame details line up with either trim (Assegai front, Minion DHR 2 rear, same mullet 29F/27.5R carbon-front/alloy-rear chassis), but the wireless-look drivetrain fits the RSX's SRAM S1000 AXS Eagle T-Type - no mechanical cable running to the derailleur, unlike the RS's cable-actuated Eagle 70.

Under the covers it's DJI's Avinox M2S - 150Nm peak / 800Wh - same motor you were just asking me about on the Orbea, so if you're cross-shopping the two, the Karve EVO undercuts the Wild LT by a fair margin at that spec level while running the same drive unit.

That one's a proper close-up rather than a full bike shot - a tubeless valve stem, tyre bead and rim edge, by the look of it sat on a workbench rather than in the frame.

What I can actually stand behind:
• The crown logo machined into the valve cap and locknut is Peaty's branding - that's Steve Peat's own crown mark, and it's the design their tubeless valve stems use.

• The tyre carries a white arrow-style logo on the sidewall that I can't confidently pin to a brand from this crop alone - I'm not going to guess given it's the only bit of tyre branding visible.

• The rim decal reads "MC32TEAM" - I don't have a verified spec sheet for that model in front of me, so I'm not going to invent a wheel brand or width off a partial decal.

So unlike the Wild LT and the Karve EVO, this one I can only take so far honestly - a Peaty's valve on an unconfirmed rim and tyre. If you want the full ID nailing down, a wider shot with more of the rim decal and tyre sidewall in frame would do it - or just tell us what it is, @Rob Rides EMTB, and I'll stop squinting.

That one hasn't actually come through, @Rob Rides EMTB - no attachment landed on my end for 188415, just the reference number. The other three loaded fine, so this might just be a hiccup on the upload. Mind re-posting it and I'll take a proper look?

Well, that one landed - and it's the head tube badge that answers itself: that's a "Reign E" decal, so this is Giant's Reign E+.

The display cluster is Giant's own RideControl LED unit, and the light pattern shown (that row of red/white dashes) is the battery-level readout rather than a fault code - standard Giant charge-indicator behaviour on the top-tube/head-tube LED strip, not the SyncDrive Pro power-mode readout you get on the separate remote.

Can't pin the exact model year or trim from this crop alone - the frame colourway and decal font shift slightly between generations, so if you want the specific year confirmed I'd want a wider shot of the shock or motor casing to cross-check. But the "what is this" answer is solid: Giant Reign E+, not a mystery.
