2027 Orbea Wild LT Released - Avinox Powered

This seems a bit different.. The geo hack was for restricting class 3 mode/top speeds based on your region to comply with regional e-bike laws. You would VPN to somewhere like New Zealand where class 3 is allowed, and then enable it. But if this bike is restricted everywhere, what does VPN'ing accomplish? Nothing, right?

My m20 will arrive tomorrow...

Wild LT M20 Magic Gold Carbon View

It’s still at the dealer right now and will be getting various upgrades next week (Oquo Team Power wheelset, Vivid Ultimate shock, Zeb Ultimate fork).

I also ordered XT brake levers and Galfer Shark rotors as a quick brake upgrade for better performance—I’m not sure yet if I want to stick with Shimano overall or switch to SRAM later (Maven brakes / XO or S90 mechanical shifting).

For now, I’m just going to ride and enjoy it—I’m really looking forward to it

Apparently, according to the Orbea rep, it should still be possible to alter the Geo location by VPN and thereby also change the speed at which the motor provides assistance. Let’s hope to have confirmation from users in the field.

It gives me 'Unno Mith' vibes but with better dropper insertion and suspension design. Love it.

My M20 came with a lot of loose bolts, check everything before you ride it. specially the main pivots.
Bikes amazing,, rides like a magic carpet!

This will only work for users looking to disregard the 15.5 mph EU speed limit and gaining 20 mph Class 1 speed. Orbea's doesn't want their Avinoxs to exceed 20 mph anywhere, so there's no vpn trick to gain Class 3 capability.

The Rep's comment touches on what I'm thinking is the most interesting aspect of this decision now... Awareness. Orbea, bike shops, and even members of the press; should be bringing clarity and awareness that Orbea's RS (Restricted Speed) Avinox has a lower speed potential than all the other Avinox motors. I think it's outright negligent to pontificate about the secret RS sauce without mentioning it uniquely limits the motor to 20 mph worldwide. It's only going to cause problems for Orbea, their dealers, and customers if this isn't communicated clearly.
