What spec did you order? MyO is showing February 2027 fulfillment for m-team wild sl’s.

Some of these lead times are crazy. I ordered an M10 mullet this morning and it should be here by November. I just checked the delivery dates and the same bike is now showing as June 2027!! There must be a very limited supply of motors.
 
Is anyone ordering their wild LT with the podium fork? Reviewers seem to really like the performance and I quite like the Moto look of it. I was surprised to hear that a lot of mountain bikers don’t like that look.
 
Febuary and June 2027? Shit. Well, mine's a M20. I'm glad I asked the dealer for an update too because they followed up later to say the silver color would be months out, and asked if I'd prefer to change color to get it towards the end of the month. So was able to change to purple.

Has anyone fitted an invisiframe?

you mean invisible frame ? doesn't the frame come stock with a lot of stickers ? - see bluepaper. i don't think i want to fit more

I think I'll order the complete ridewrap kit for the frame and fork. It's true the frame comes partially protected, but I want to protect it completely, and currently Invisiframe doesn't have the kit for the Wild LT on their website.

it's a tough one this. I invisframed my mk1 Rise but it was a big job (most parts off the frame) and delayed riding the bike... It looked really good when I came to sell it, but I'm not sure I got any more money as a result.

New bike I didn't both on the basis that the key areas were done but riding it has added some scrapes to areas that would have been covered by invisiframe but not by the stock...

Orbea has lifted the covers on the new 2027 Wild LT, and this is a fairly major shift for the Wild platform.

But the bigger story is probably what Orbea is trying to do with the bike as a whole. This is not just a motor swap into the existing Wild. Orbea is positioning the Wild LT as a proper long-travel, gravity-focused eMTB, taking influence from the Rallon and Rallon DH projects while moving the Wild platform into a more aggressive space.

All the Wild LT models listed in the 2027 range use the DJI Avinox M2S motor system. 1300w peak, 150Nm peak torque. And Orbea's RS tune on the motor, giving a faster startup and more aggressive power ramp at lower RPM.

Sick bike for sure. To me, the Avinox is 'overpowered' in the sense that there aren't many circumstances where you'd want the full power band it has to offer, but it's like a four-stroke 450 moto, you can't use it if you don't have it, but if you have it, it's always an option. I'm torn between this and the Dreadnought. It will probably come down to the availability on the Forbidden in the States.
 
Just received the build date for my Wild LT M20 in full 29"; the bike is size Medium and the color is the Smooth Silver Matte/Escape Green Carbon View. The bike will be built 8/09/2026. The dealer thinks I should have the bike sometime in mid to late August. I will be using a combination of parts I have and parts I am purchasing to complete a build on the bike. The build will look something like this:

Nobl TR 38 Wheels (29" F/R)
DT Swiss Hybrid 350 Hubs
Schwalbe Albert Gravity Pro Soft (R); Magic Mary Gravity Pro Ultra Soft (F)
GX AXS T-Type Derailleur
XX AXS T-Type Cassette & Chain
5DEV Aluminum Chain Ring (Raw)
5DEV Aluminum Cranks - 155 mm (Raw)
5DEV Stem (Raw)
5DEV Pedals (Raw)
Hayes T4 Brakes
Hayes D Series Rotors (203 mm)
Jagwire Brake Cables (Sterling Silver)
One Up V3 Dropper Post (210 mm)
One Up V2 Carbon Bar (cut to 770 mm; 35 mm rise; all black)
ODI Rogue Grips
Manitou Mezzer Pro fork (170 mm)
Fox Float X (stock shock from the M20)
Specialized Power Expert saddle with Mimic

That covers most of the build. I am really looking forward to this bike. My current bike is a 2024 Orbea Wild M11 AXS with the Bosch Gen 4 motor. My current Wild is an amazing bike, the best I have every ridden. I have very high expectations for this bike and I think Orbea will live up those expectations. They have nailed every generation of Wild. They nailed the RS tune on the Shimano motor for the Rise (I owned one for about 1 year). I really think this bike will be amazing.

Did you purchase through your dealer, or order through the MyO page and have it delivered to your dealer? Did you just order the frame? Did you get credit from orbea or from your dealer for the parts that (may have) came with your bike that you are not using?

I didn’t use MyO. I knew that would be a long wait. I am wanting a new bike now and knew the Wild is what I want. I knew shops would be getting a certain allotment of bikes based on their orders, but there would be a shortage, so not even they knew what they were going to get. So, I called 3 shops in my area and explained that I would purchase an M20, in whatever color, size medium, full 29”, as soon as they could confirm if they were getting one of the initially released bikes from Orbea. One of the dealers was getting no bikes, one dealer was getting a medium M-LTD in August, then nothing in size medium for a while, and another dealer called me back yesterday to let me know he could get me a medium 29” in matte silver in August. I told him I’d take it. I went there today to pay the deposit and place an order for some of the parts I don’t already have. They’ll build the bike when it comes in.
