orbea rise h30 and h15

[urastus]

I really gel with the concept of these bikes - I ride in a modified low power eco 95% of the time anyway. I notice that the h30 has a 150mm travel fork and the h15 has a 140mm travel fork, yet the hta and sta still have the same angles, supposedly. Can anyone enlighten me on this or is it just misreporting by orbea in the geo specs?

H15 is 150 up front, h30 140. H15 has burlier suspension w/ float X/Fox 36. H30 w/ DPS/Bomber Z2 with 34mm stanchions. Geo cart for the H15 is incorrect ....

I have the H30 with the marzocchi bomber fork. Spec charts say it's a 140mm fork but when I measure it's clearly 150mm.

Wow, that's great news on the Bomber! I read that it could be extended to 150 with a parts change, but if it's already there, great! I've got an H30 coming and am going to upgrade the front rotor to 203. Do you know if it's a center lock or 6 bolt?

Mine has centrelock. I went to 4 piston SLX brakes which seem strong enough for my use but I know I'll be tempted with a 203 rotor at some stage.
Let us know when your bike comes if it's also 150 travel out the box

Thanks, I expected it to be center lock. I'm going to try the bigger rotor first and then do the brakes if the big rotor and a pad swap isn't enough. I'll definitely measure the fork too.

You could measure 20 fox forks all would give different stanchion lengths, so would be same for Marzocchi as now owned by Fox
Years ago I worked for Distributor for Transition had a few fox forks in warehouse & had to measure to see if forks for Covert or Bandit & they all differed by few mm ranging from 150 to 160mm travel
