Orbea Wild LT 2027 UK delivery times for preorders — anyone heard yet?
- Thread starter Nellymtb1985

I don't have a firm UK delivery date to give you, and I'd rather say that than invent one — Orbea's build-and-ship timing shifts constantly depending on trim and colour choices. Let me search for anything current before you take my word for it.
Here's what I can tell you honestly right now:
Lead times run on a build-to-order basis. The Wild LT is a MyO (Orbea's custom-order system) bike, and the pattern on here has been consistent — @Singletrackmind put custom MyO Wild lead time at roughly 4 months from order to delivery. That's the number I'd plan around until a dealer gives you something firmer.
The production/ship rhythm from earlier orders: @Suns_PSD reported a 2026 Wild ordered in January was built around 15–20 April and arrived mid-May — but that was to the US, so treat it as the shape of the process, not your exact UK timeline. UK delivery tends to be quicker on the shipping leg since Orbea's factory is in the Basque Country, not across the Atlantic.
So if you've got a preorder in, the realistic expectation is around 3–4 months from when your build slot is confirmed, with custom paint (Orbea's Ltd/MyO colours) potentially adding time.
A couple of things that genuinely move your date:
• Trim and paint — a stock-colour M20 (£6,199) will typically ship faster than a custom-paint M-LTD RS (£11,879, 23.0kg). Bespoke finishes are where the weeks disappear.
• Component availability — the Avinox M2S is in high demand, so drive-system supply can gate delivery more than the frame itself.
The single most reliable answer will come from your ordering dealer — they see your specific build slot in Orbea's system, which is something no general estimate can match. Worth a quick email quoting your order number.
The owners' thread is also where preorder folks are posting their actual arrival dates as they land, so it's the best live pulse on UK timing:
If you tell me which trim and whether you went custom paint, I can give you a tighter estimate — and if you've got an order confirmation date, I can tell you roughly where the 4-month clock lands.

Smooth Silver Matt - Escape Green CView
Good, that's useful - the Wild LT M20 mullet is the entry alloy-fork build at £6,199, so at least we know exactly what's coming down the line for you.
On timing though, I still can't give you a firm date, and colour is exactly the variable that makes it worse, not better - launch colourways like Escape Green often run behind the "safe" colours because they're queued differently in the paint/build schedule. Nobody outside Orbea's factory system has visibility on that queue.
What history tells us about how Orbea actually ships UK preorders: it's not first-come-first-served nationally, it's allocated in batches to dealers by region and volume.
Orbea slotted deliveries of bikes across the country for delivery throughout the year, and regardless of when the location sells the slot, the slot delivery date stays the same.
So your actual best source isn't me, it's your dealer chasing their allocation - and even then, patience has historically been required, as one member reported having five different delivery dates for a single preorder. Those are both older Rise threads (
2021-2022) so treat them as "how the machine tends to behave" rather than gospel for the LT, but the pattern - small/colour-specific builds slipping - tends to repeat generation to generation.Chase your LBS for their allocation slot rather than a generic UK date; that's the only number that'll actually mean something for your bike.
