Nope, riding it as it shipped with no changes. I'm not really picky anyway. Just an intermediate level rider preferring cross country terrain, not a jumper or racer. I'm enjoying the M10 Carbon Rise (rated 38lbs which came with a Fox 36 fork). It handles far differently than the Medium size Levo...
Sorry, I have never owned a Trance or Stumpy. My last 3 regular MTBs were all Ibis Mojo's and an HD3's. The shorter Ibis top tube required I ride a Large in that brand instead of a Medium at 5'9." Compared to Ibis bikes, the Rise in Medium fits well and is a bit slacker. I didn't have to change...
Turbo Levo Comp 2019 (500w battery) and a 2021 Orbea Rise. Love them both. They compliment each other. Bike pick depends who I ride with. Levo goes with other strong full eMTB riders. Rise goes with a group of mixed eMTB/analog MTB rider group. When riding alone I often ride the Rise. No...
At first I thought that was the case too. But scroll down the list of Rise models and you will see the 2023 models. The first models in the list are 2022 with the 2023 (and the optional battery) following. They are all there.
I ride a Rise at 230lbs without gear and the Rise has been powerful enough for me using the eco and trail settings. I rarely ever use the turbo setting. For comparison, I also have a Specialized Turbo Levo with far more torque so I can say for me, the Rise is fine for the terrain I ride here in...
Mark the master link (or whatever you call it) with a spot of bright colored paint which indicates a starting point for lube. Turn the bike upside down. Start lubing at the master link and turn the cranks whichever way they will go until the master link appears again. I lube through the cycle...
The E-Bike industry needs to lean more heavily on federal, state and local entities and land managers who decided to ban E-Bikes from trails. Where I ride E-Bikes are at least 50% of the bikes out there, even with "No E-Bike" signs posted. Land managers who have the authority to allow or ban...
No inserts, running 20 front 24 rear on the Specialized OEM 2.6 tires. I did have an occasion when the Specialized Grid rear tire bead started seeping a bit of sealant so I upped the tire pressure 2lbs and all went well.
I need to go back to step #1 - Close the door after charging. Went on a 20+ mile dusty ride today (So.California, the land rain forgot) and when putting the bike back on the rack noticed I forgot to close the damn door after charging it. Cleaned it out afterward, charges fine. BTW the door is a...
You might be waiting until 2024 to get that 2023 model bike. Orbea just cannot keep up with demand. Even most of the 2022 M-series carbon models are still on back order. A few months ago I was lucky to find a 2021 M10 that unexpectedly showed up with some others in a container of long delayed...
I have a 2019 Turbo Levo Comp - aluminum with the Roval aluminum wheels. I weigh 225. Never broke a spoke, bent a wheel or had any issues with the OEM wheel set. I ride chunk in So. California. But if you have the $$$ what better thing to spend it on that an awesome bike?
I'm using the default assist settings on my M10. I use Eco almost exclusively, Trail sometimes on hills and Boost maybe twice over thee past 200 miles. Boost is way too much for me. Using profile 2.
I occasionally have a problem connecting - like today in fact! I had the bike powered on, opened Etube app and it didn't connect. Couldn't find the bike. So I turned the bike off then on and tried again. It connected the second time. This has happened several times. Maybe it's about which one...
