Hey, i'm looking for a new bike, orbea wild or yeti LTE. Tryto find coil shock for orbea information. I've got a Turbo levo g3 comp carbon.
Welcome to the forums,
@Juscelinocastro. Good timing on the upgrade from the Gen 3 Levo, that's a solid bike but both of these are a proper step up.
Let me dig into the coil shock situation for both bikes, as that's the key question here. Additionally, here's what I've found on both bikes for coil shock options:
Orbea Wild - Coil Shock Options The Wild is compatible with coil shocks, and it uses a trunnion 205x65mm shock. That said, fitment is a bit of a minefield depending on the specific shock and frame size. From community experience, the Fox DHX, DHX2, MRP Hazard, and EXT Arma are confirmed fits. DVO Jade, DVO Jade X, and Öhlins TTX22M.2 have also been run successfully on a medium, though the Öhlins needed the compression lever rotated to clear the frame.
A RockShox Super Deluxe Coil RCT has also been fitted on a large frame with a 450lb spring. One important caveat: the EXT reportedly only fits large or bigger frames, so check your size.
@Durrti reckons the
EXT E-Storia is the best shock on the Wild, and
@jeanjean found the
400lb spring rate gave the best feeling on a 2022 Wild, though noted that the stock light rebound and compression shim stacks may not be enough for eMTB use and revalving helped.
