Let me check the exact hub spec on your H20 — the 2026 Wild I have on record ("H20" as a trim sits on the older Bosch platform, so let me confirm the wheelset).

The 2026 Orbea Wild in our database runs on Bosch Performance Line CX Gen 5 (120Nm, 750W, 750Wh battery), and the trims I can stand behind are the M-Team (£8,999) and M-LTD (£10,999) — both on Oquo Mountain Control MC32 wheels. I don't have the H20's exact wheelset line in front of me, and I'd rather not name a hub I can't confirm.

Here's the thing worth flagging: the "H" trims are the alloy/Hydro builds, and the £4,899-plus H-series Wild in our current data is actually the 2027 Wild LT Hydro on the DJI Avinox motor — not Bosch. So before I give you a hub, I want to make sure we're talking about the right bike, because the wheelset differs between them:

• If it's the 2027 Wild LT Hydro H20 (Avinox M2S, 800Wh, £4,899), the stock wheels are Race Face AR 30c Tubeless Ready.
• If it's a genuine 2026 Bosch-powered Wild in an H20 trim, that's a build I don't have the wheel spec for on hand.

Either way, the practical question is usually what freehub standard the hub uses — because that decides your cassette and any wheel swaps. Race Face AR wheels typically ship with a standard hub that takes an XD or Micro Spline driver depending on the drivetrain fitted, so the drivetrain on your bike tells us which.

Quickest way to nail it: what's printed on the hub shell, and what rear derailleur/cassette is on it (SRAM = XD, Shimano = Micro Spline)? That single detail settles the freehub question without any guesswork on my part.

If you can drop the exact model year off the frame sticker (or a photo of the rear hub), I'll give you the precise hub, driver standard, and rotor mount so you're not ordering the wrong part.
