WITH A CLAIMED WEIGHT OF JUST 16.2KG, THE ORBEA RISE IS ONE OF THE LIGHTEST FULL SUSPENSION ELECTRIC MOUNTAIN BIKES ON THE MARKET
Think of the Rise as an electrified version of the Orbea Occam trail bike. It’s built around 29in wheels and it features 140mm of rear wheel travel, with either a 140mm or 150mm travel fork up front. It features a 65.5-66° head angle, a 76.5-77° seat tube angle, and 445mm long chainstays on all four frame sizes.
The Rise’s frame itself is all-carbon, utilising Orbea’s OMR layup that results in a claimed frame weight of just 2.3kg (that’s for the bare frame without a shock or motor), which has to be up there as one of the lightest going.
And we reckon the silhouette is absolutely superb! From first glance, it’s actually hard to tell that the Rise is actually an e-MTB, thanks to that slim downtube and the low-profile Shimano motor. It’s certainly a very different aesthetic to the Orbea Wild FS, which remains in the lineup as the brasher, bigger travel, full-powered, enduro-oriented option from Orbea.
