Orbea launches third generation Rise e-mountain bike

Spanish manufacturer Orbea has introduced the third generation of its Rise e-trail platform, featuring two distinct models: the Rise SL and the Rise LT. Both versions utilize high-modulus OMR carbon construction to maintain low weight, with the SL starting at 17 kg and the LT starting at 18 kg.

The bikes are powered by the Shimano EP810 motor, which delivers up to 100 Nm of torque and a peak power of 600 W. Orbea has developed proprietary Rider Synergy (RS) firmware to optimize power delivery, ensuring assistance is provided based on rider effort to conserve energy and mimic a natural mountain bike feel.

The Rise SL is designed for fast, flowy trails with 140 mm of suspension travel both front and rear. The Rise LT is built for more aggressive terrain, offering 160 mm of front travel and 150 mm of rear travel. The range includes 16 different configurations based on eight main models, with battery options of 420 Wh or 630 Wh.
