Orbea Wild 2026 MX ? What do you think about ?

[stefighters]

Hi everyone.

I'm the proud owner of a full 29" Orbea Wild M Team 2026.

I'd like to hear the feedback from people who own this bike in MX format.

I use my Wild on steep and challenging natural trails (no bike parks).

Does the MX format offer anything compared to the full 29" ? Perhaps greater confidence on descents ? Perhaps better rear-end handling ?

Thanks for your feedback !!!

I don’t own the Orbea but it would be my second choice. A few friends use this model and the reviews seem pretty good .

Google Search

Motor, battery and a local bike shop are usually my deciding factors.

Back and forth between a wild shuttle and Vala. Any thoughts on the bike would be appreciated

Hello,
I ordered my Orbea in MX. I've always ridden a 29, but I wanted to try it to feel the difference...
I've only managed to do one lap so far, riding the same trails, and I noticed a slight difference in some areas where the wheel ends up hitting the ground because it's smaller.
I loved the new XTR brakes, which are much more progressive...

Thanks for your feedback. Feel free to add more once you've ridden it further.

I'd like to know if the bike has improved downhill capabilities, in particular. Is there an advantage on technical and rough trails? I imagine there must be some improvement in terms of handling. But what about comfort ?
