New emtb rider with new Orbea wild

[RustyB]

Hello all igot a good deal on a new orbea wild st h30. Went for my 1st ride on it yesterday at Bakers Creek in Knoxville tn. Sadly I started getting a cold the day before so i only got to do 3 runs before I gave out but i love the new bike. All i have to compare it to is a norco fluid vlt c3 that i rented but it is better feeling than that bike. Cant wait to talk more to all of you and am exited to start my mtb journey at 51,

They look a great bike, on my list when I was looking, but another deal came up. What battery did you go for, 600 or 750?

Welcome! Hope you get out again soon and the cold clears up quickly!

I reckon that’s the sweet spot. Good choice.
