    Orbea Rise Custom M10

    A 39-40lb Rise with a meaty build costs about $10,000. At that price point, FF Ebikes weigh 46-50lbs so they are a lot closer in feel than you think

    Orbea Rise Custom M10

    I guess the bottom line is there is no such thing as the Perfect Bike. There’s always something each bike is better at and something each bike is worse at. But we are all living in a time with bikes that can take us up the mountain with ease and tons of fun downhill regardless of which Ebike...

    Is the orbea Rise suspension progressive?

    I’ll check when I get home. It looks like it’s fine if you run a 55mm stroke shock but is cutting it close for a 60/63mm stroke shock. The bulletin is saying further investigation is needed if you go longer than About 69-70mm which is just below the maximum 72mm allowed by Fox for a 65mm...

    Orbea Rise Custom M10

    The problem is please help me find me a 40lb Ebike that hangs with Full Fat Ebikes uphill and have the same effective range as a 630/700wh bike without needing a range extender that looks as good and performs Like a mini Enduro bike downhill. I think Bosch has a slight rattle as well. The...

    Orbea Rise Custom M10

    He has offset bushings now to lower and slacken the bike a bit as the longer shock had steepened the Ht

    Orbea Rise rear derailleur hanger mounting kit issue

    What is the function of that piece? Is it just a spacer for the Axle to sit over to prevent it from coming undone during a ride??

    Orbea Rise Custom M10

    SLX Cassette sticks out like a sore thumb on an otherwise very blinggy build. First thing I’d do is up the fork to 160mm and change the shock out from a 210x55 to 216x63 and run the Bike as a Mullet setup which gives you approx 162mm out back.

    Half a Degree equals approximately 5mm of reach. I got this number from Bikes that have flip chips that slacken/steepen the HT by half a degree. BB's tend to drop 5-7mm when you flip the chip. Running a 160 fork in combination with a larger 2.5/2.6" front tire will definitely set the reach...

    Mine is delayed as well from Jensons. Was supposed to be Mar 1st. No ETA yet. I can’t commit on a wheelset until I know if I’ll be running 29er or 27.5. Bummer yours is delayed also

    Jimsantos, if you run this full 29er setup. Can you check to see if you can run some offset bushings to get the shock from 216 to 213x63? www.offsetbushings.com

    I am looking at the anti squat figures for the Occam with a 32T/50T configuration. It is 104% at 25% sag. With the Rise and 160mm of travel, you are at 108-109%. A 34t chainring would help reduce this greatly but it shouldn’t be a big deal. If you look at these figures on other bikes, it’s...

    I saw that IG post. Funny thing is there are 2-3 others on a DHX2 that have not noticed any bushing/shaft issues so he could just have a bad shock. Fox QC is complete shit on their 2021 X2/DHX2 shocks. I ride with 3-4 guys who all have problems and have sent their shocks in for warranty work

    I have a Decoy as well. Full coil, 180mm fork on the Decoy and 54lbs with pedals . I am wondering if the Rise with a 160mm rear end and 160/170 fork can replace the Decoy

    Clevis mounts don’t play nice with some shocks. How does it feel on bigger jumps or drops?
