Orbea EP8 RS hardtail coming

[soundwave]

Heard this yesterday from a local Orbea dealer. New Orbea hardtail model with the EP8 RS motor. Both aluminium and carbon frame options. If this is true, well played Orbea.

If they make it with similar geometry to the FS it is good news, if its another computer bike in disguise then not so much.

What is a 'computer bike'? Did you mean commuter bike?

lol - yup. 4 years back there where some family decent hardtail options like the Vitus E-Sentier, Commencal, and the Kinesis, but these days most of the hardtail emtbs's on the market are not designed with proper trail riding in mind

The title of the thread can be misleading, since it could be a commuter bike instead of a Rise like bike. I edited it.
