Intense Testing on the Orbea Rise
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ย. 2024
- I just got my @orbea Rise Ebike built up and decided to go head first into some real testing. This is the lightest performance Ebike on the market and it is capable. Featuring the @RideShimano Ebike EP8 RS motor, this thing can go forever.
I had 3 solid rides on one charge and tried to beat the hell out of it!
Hope you enjoy it!

Love my Rise! Lots of curiosity on the trail with this bike. I feel like an EMTB evangelist.😂 I’m a beginner MTB rider (@ 66 YO) the ‘boost’ of e-bikes makes it possible and enjoyable. I never ride my other e-bike after getting the Rise. My husband bought it for my b-day…fully loaded but I’m looking for more aggressive tires for the trails we ride. Also adding the small display and boosting with the Shimano app. If it were not for EMTB my husband would never have gotten in a bike…now I can’t get him off the trails!😂 He’s OBSESSED! Thanks for the fun ride review!👏🏻❤️🚴♀️
Yes!!!! That makes me so happy to hear!!!!
You really put the bike through every imaginable trails and it really looks good.
Tried to do some real testing for prospective buyers. I love it
@@GeoffGulevich Hi Geoff, just awesome. This looks like Enduro not trail to me. You are super capable that is for sure. What fork and shock are you using? Travel 140 / 150. Any thought on a mullet with 160 / 160. I am 65 but still compete Enduro but wonder if l need to go this route for some security. Thanks again, best Rise video yet. Matthew South Africa,
@@matthewstubbs6890 it is very enduro
I’m running 140 rear and 160 up front with a fox 36.
That’s a good call. Bet you would love it
@@GeoffGulevich Hi , thanks for the test! How many token do you ride onto your 160mm 36?
I’ve been really interested in the Rise , but coming from an enduro I was questioning how much the 150/140 could handle. You sir certainly just answered any question I may have had. Great riding!
I’m glad I could assist you! Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!
This is by far the best video of the Orbea Rise available on yt right now. Thanks Geoff. Sick
Glad you’re enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!!
best riding video, there are, however, at least two good reviews
@@pizzagorgonzola4699 thanks
Never seen your vids before but your bike handling skills are insane ! Couldn’t believe what you were doing there very impressed. Couple of reviews in UK saying the Rise can’t deal with anything beyond soft trails but you’ve blown that one out good and proper! Respect due
Thanks dude!
She is a very capable machine
most uk reviewers, cant ride for toffee and simply spout utter nonsence.
@@b45her hahaha
Those UK reviews are inaccurate to say the least... One I've seen is a girl that isn't bad but a very average rider and the other is a guy whom looks to be sponsored by specialized. I've [ut approximately 300 miles on mine and I can tell you it is quite capable.
@@BCPepperAdventures interesting
I think I broke my collar bone watching! Great skills. This might be my way back into mountain biking.
Hahaha don’t do that!
Oh man, you would love this bike!
Just found this channel while scouting Rise videos. Some great riding there dude, and some great terrain to ride on.
Subbed.
Thanks so much for watching!
I’ll keep the videos coming 🤙🏼
Thanks for sharing this! And compliments to your skill too! Amazing.
Thank you and thanks for watching
Some of the best riding video I have seen... I am considering the Orbea with the Canyon Spectral ON CF9. I sure like the weight of the Rise but I am a little older and may need the added power of the Canyon. Thanks for the great trip you took me on... fantastic
Loving my rise!
To be honest the Rise will give you enough power ! I’m over 50 and pretty unfit and the power is more than I expected and nicely controllable. Sure you don’t quite get the drag lift torque of a FF but do try a test ride you might be surprised
@@cd9278 totally agree
Just did my 6th ride since getting my Orbea Rise M-10 last week. So light and nimble. The frame feels really stiff and yet well compliant. I have had many many mountain bikes over the last 38 years. Only 2 were really special....and this is one of them. This is the trail bike to beat.
What was the other?
I love this!!!!! Yessss!!!!
@@mtbmike9866 1993 Specialized S Works M2 frame with Carbon Rock Shox. The fork had tapered carbon legs. It was one of the too light bikes. I crashed mine and broke the carbon fork legs. Really nice when it was still intact. 20 lb. hardtail bike. It was Ned Overend's special bike. It was so snappy! You could climb like nothing else. It was a scary descender compared to today's bikes. This is the frame but not the forks th-cam.com/video/ZD3xtllsgYk/w-d-xo.html. Retro!
@@paulmaag6958 that’s wild
I am considering the Rise. I am 6' 240 lbs so I wonder about the frame .
For those with a Rise, you may want to keep your eye on the spindle screw/cap on the crank (if you have the stock e*Thirteen crank). They loosen up pretty quickly--it's a known issue that people are running into. Mine fell off completely on a downhill run (without me knowing it) and shortly into the climb after, my crank fell off. That was only after a few weeks on the bike. Mine will be covered by warranty (the part is cheap anyways so it doesn't really matter), but if you do lose it, the bike is sidelined until you can get your hands on a new one (and bikes shops don't typically have these ones on hand). If you have a Rise I'd suggest trying to tighten those spindle screws/caps, and if they are loose, take them off and apply some lock tight.
Yikes
the recommended torque settings have been updated, 2nm (up from 1) for the cap, and 14nm for the pinch screws
Wow! You put that to the test! Great review. Awesome video! The trails there are SICK! Thanks, Geoff!
Thanks for watching!
The level of skill in this is beyond comprehension. I would love to try this but at the same time 95% of those trails would terrify me and I would probably walk down crying. 🤪. Thank you for reinforcing what a mediocre biker I am. I hang my head in shame...
Hahaha as long as you’re biking, it’s a great thing. Thanks so much for watching!
Sick! Had mine for 2 months and loving it. You’re the man Gully, keep it coming.
That’s awesome to hear!!!! Thanks dude!
@@ilidiofaria I got very lucky. Ordered a MyO custom M10 the day they came out, think it was 22nd October through LBS. Delivery was end of June but for no known reason it came forward and got it end of February. I’m in Scotland btw. Just very lucky I think as seems to be only custom one in the country!
This was a sick edit! Awesome Review.
Your Rallon looks killer but the Purple Rise is a deadly looking weapon. Cheers
Thanks so much dude! They are great machines
that was amazing to watch! I just ordered mine and cant wait to ride it! You are a really great rider btw!
Thanks so much for watching! You’re going to love it!!!
Had my Cube TM140 since October and loving it. She doesn't know it yet, my Mrs is going to get it and I'm getting one of these. Impressed with the work your trail pixies put in
Best pixies in the land.
You’re going to love it !
legend. enjoying your videos so far! keep it up
Thanks so much! Appreciate the support!
Thanks for the great review! Orbea killed it with this. Hoping to upgrade from my Giant Trance X emtb. It's rare that I ever get below 50% charge so I'm just carrying around a lot of extra battery weight.
My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching! You’re going to absolutely love this bike!!!!
I'd settle for 25% of your bike handling skills, great video!
Hahaha thanks dude! Thanks for watching
The more you watch, the better it gets rad bike !! 👌
Heck ya! Thanks for watching!!!
@@GeoffGulevich Hi Geoff, Your welcome ! I remember meeting yourself & wade many years ago at a bike show in london !
Do you still get chance to ride with wade ? 👌👍🌲🌲🌲😎
@@andrewgreenwood8727 heck ya we ride!
Those trails are gnarly and your riding skills are even gnarlier. Epic. I am just starting out with MTB (got an Occam H20) and looking at a Rise H15 in Jan here in the UK. I'd love to be able to ride like that!!
Thanks dude! Appreciate it. You’ll get there. Stick with it and have fun! Hope you love the bike!
You really put it through its paces!
Had to give it a thorough test hahaha
I can't wait, mine should be in mid-June, great to see that you're rippen the trails on this bike, great video position, I feel as if I was riding the trail
Glad you enjoyed it!
You’re going to love this bike!!!
@@GeoffGulevich Here's my local jump-line trail by my house, I'm on my friends Trek Rail 7 on the first Video, and a POV on my friends Shuttle, I hope I can enjoy this bike as much as these.

@@theedmondsept sick!!!!
Some folks are long shocking it (216x63) to give 160mm at the back. Add a longer fork and mullet it (slack hta , lower bb) and you got a killer “enduro “ bike too! It’s tempting me to sell my levo SL
Crazy!
Great riding and smooth presenting while on that gnarly tail🤙
Thank you, sir
Bought one in the spring. Been riding since the 80's (I'm 68). Really fun bike. Gotta wonder, how many times did you bottom out that shock? I obviously don't ride half as hard as you do, and I go through most of the travel every ride, I mean, it's only got 140! O yeah, great video, I loved it. Nice response to all the guys that told me all the things I wouldn't be able to do on this bike.
Bravissimo, spettacolo, GRANDE !!
You are an incredible rider. .WOW.. Cant believe you dodged that puddle so easily at 9:45 🤣
Hahaha thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching !
Great review! Thinking about getting the Rise, too. Not sure if I should get the M or the H. Will try them out soon- thanks for all the informations!
Can’t go wrong!
You’re going to love it!
definitely want an E bike now.. this one maybe top of the list.
The Rise is the ticket
big moves sick ride
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Ordered one m20 this morning.. Delivery in 2023 something to look forward
ThTs awesome!!!! You’re going to love it
Why do I live in PA!? Those trails are sick. You know how to rip!
Thanks dude. Come check out the trails sometime
@@GeoffGulevich I’d love to! It’s definitely on my list
Subscribed because of this riding. You absolutely sent that thing. I demo'd an H30 last week and ordered one in Cosmic Brown, can't wait until it comes in. Ill be following for more content on this and similar bikes, this is my first E-Bike let alone eMTB. Keep up the good stuff!
That’s awesome to hear dude!
You are going to love that thing.
I just got my new one and I can’t wait to shred it!
Great riding mate ..... loving my rise too .... although not got the trails you have .... cheers
Stoked to hear that! Hopefully the world gets back to normal soon and you can come ride ours
Im about to get one in March 2022 . So stoked . Cool seeing the bike handle chossy slabs. Was hoping you would of ridden the semi secret bangers beyond 7th ;-)
Heck of a machine!
I did but no camera up there 🤪
Crazy good riding! Awesome bike! I think I will buy one for my wife so I can ride it! 😁
That’s the smart play! 😂
Game changer! Looks like a normal pedal bike. Guess the future is here.
For sure. It’s here!
Even better than the ebike is the beauty of British Columbia!
Well said. It is amazing here!
What a bad ass video, thank you, I have an H15 it rips!!
Thanks dude!!! Appreciate it.
Hope you’re loving your ride!
Nice vid and review @Geoff Gulevich ! I've had my M10 Rise for 3 weeks now and love it! My knocking noise seems way louder than yours and I read you put foam around the battery and that reduces the noise? Kind of sounds like mine is coming from the motor, not battery but I will check it out. BE AWARE of the issue with the pre load caps on the e thirteen crank arms loosening and going bye bye. I lost my left cap, unfortunately as e thirteen does not seem very responsive to the warranty claim I submitted. E thirteen has a TSB out on it, the caps need to be torqued to 2 NM and blue locktite used to hold them in place. Pinch bolts on Crank torqued to 14 NM. Also, I have the new EM 800 display and SC 300 cable on order as the little box doesn't provide the data I need on a $8600 bike! Your riding skills are impressive!
Hmm. Hope you can locate the noise.
How are you liking the bike otherwise?
Thanks for the tips!
And thanks for watching!
@@ilidiofaria I would make sure everything is tight and if it’s still rattling, you can go to your home shop and request to have some foam inserted to stop the noise.
Try that before being upset
Nice ride..can you tell us how many miles, or aprox time riding on a full charge lasted..?? Using the way you rode and settings y had on the video.
What a awseome trail.. have fun
take care
Thanks!!!
I don't need help, they are just flippin fun as hell!! The Rise is unreal! Hype is real! 36 150 is a must!
Heck ya!!! That’s what I like to hear!!!!
F*cking nice trail man and nice riding 2!
Thank you!
Sick video man!
Thanks so much for watching dude!
Amazing video!! I am between the Nox Helium with the Fazua and the Orbea Rise. Nice is with the Nox is you can remove even the battery and motor. Did you check the Nox as well by chance?
I did not. Just the Rise for me
Now I know...what my Rise can do😃😂
She can do it all!!!!
I just had a Rise delivered, been on a few trails. Your video allows me to be more confident and aggressive. Well done!
@@SmileBliss so stoked to hear that! Enjoy it!
Félicitations ! Quelle maîtrise ...
Ce velo et son pilote sont une tuerie 🥇👍👍
Merci!
I really wanted a purple Rise too, but I thought getting a custom colour would delay shipment so I went with the stock coal blue. Well, custom colour or stock colour, the wait is still 9 months. I ordered lasts October and it's supposed to come to Calgary here in July. Crossing my fingers there won't be any further delays. Great video and so so so looking forward to getting my Orbea Rise M10!
Hopefully you get it soon. Will be worth the wait
Awesome video man! 👌
Thanks for watching!!!
Nice riding. What settings do you use in Profile 1 and Profile 2? I've just bought a Rise M20 and bewildered by the e-tube settings and what to set.
To be completely honest, I have been running the stock settings.
I find it delivers enough power and allows the batter to last super long
@@GeoffGulevich thanks for the update. Mine is used so I dont see the standard settings at all. The previous owner had all assist would right back to 1/8 or 2/8 with only the reaction (last setting) set to max for instant response. cheers
u r a really good rider luv eMTBs
Thanks Larry!
I love all bikes!!!!
@@GeoffGulevich I got the Santa Cruz Bullit and it’s fun 🤩 but u make the Orbea look great 👍
@@emtbtrailrider539 as long as you’re enjoying it and having fun! All good 🤙🏼
Some reviews saying it doesn't take successive big hits well, after all it's a 'trial' bike, I'm finding that too, gets unsettled (other than that its incredible) but then I saw this! so it's clearly just a case of setup...How are you running the HSC/rebound?
Usually the case. Hahaha
I have no clue hahaha
@@GeoffGulevich lol, probably just have skills then, I’ve got to get me some of those
@@faraz2498 hahaha have fun out there!
I have been eyeing this bike and hope to test ride one soon. I am going to test out a Rail 7 and a Levo in the next few weeks.
I’m
Loving my Rise so far
Definitely shop around. Need to find what works for you
I'm kinda new to MTB, how long does it take to get to your riding level.....Because I would've died about 26 times on those descend riding at your speed haha
Welcome to mountain biking
Different for everyone.
I have been hiking for 22 years b
Great riding, just liked and subscribed. Are you in Vancouver? What is it like with no battery as far as just riding around at that weight? Do you think it would be much better with 160/150mm?
Thanks Patrick! Appreciate it. Very mountainous here in Vancouver. We’re always peddling or shuttling. Still a bit of resistance when the engine is off. I would recommend trying one out, to make sure you love it as much as I do
That's awesome it descends well... more interested about how it climbs. Also, how long does the battery last? Is it easy to swap to carry an extra for extra long days? Is it worth the dough or not? Thanks.
It’s wicked dude.
Battery just keeps going on this little rig.
Swapping batteries isn’t really an option.
No swapping batteries since it is internal, but they make a range extender you clip in to the bottle cage for long rides. I guess you could carry multiples of those for insanely long rides.
Thanks for the video Geoff. I just received my Rise M-Team a few weeks ago. I am in love with this bike. One thing I can not figure out is how to find out what is the total mileage I have put on the bike. I don't have a monitor and the ETube app doesn't have that option.
That’s a good point. Have you considered buying a bike computer for your handlebar
@@GeoffGulevich yes, but I don't know where to get one. Does your computer show total mileage?
@@brendamyers4689 no. My Lezyne gps does
Was it able to hang with the full power Santa Cruz on the climbs? Great vid.
Probably not but on the downhill it can
I demoed a rise H30 today, it has the RS motor but a 540WH battery, i felt a bit of drag in trail mode i was doin 7mph at the time i looked at the speedo, like i was holding the brakes on
Hey, super nice and gnarly video!
How many km/miles did you do in total on one charge of the battery? How much climbing? Im super tempted by this bike but still struggling to know if the battery capacity is enough for what I am after.
Can you manage to keep the battery running longer if you turn off the assistance on the way downs and flat pedaling sections?
Haven’t actually done a full battery ride.
Lasts too long
@@GeoffGulevich I got the bike in the end and I'm very impressed. Easily manage to put on 45km with 1200D+ on one battery. And it feels like my regular enduro.
@@TheLineSeeker heck ya!!!!
You ever have a chance to ride a YT decoy before? I've just been comparing geometry online and it seems to be pretty damn similar from what I'm seeing even though the rise is supposed to be the light MTB (implies more of a trail bike and less of a big enduro/dh biased bike) yet the decoy is definitely known for being an enduro style ride. What do you think about this? I don't see the two bikes compared too often but they just seem so similar on paper
I have not tried a decoy. The weights are definitely different but that’s all I really know
Beautiful riding.
Does the motor rattle like everyone says?
I’m thinking this could be my next bike.
Thank you.
No sir!
PPPEEERFECT. This is the review I wanted. Sold on the bike.
Oh dude! You’re going to love it!
These are one of the most amazing trails I’ve come across , I wish I had the ability to do them , look very techy
Thanks so much! Pretty cool area here
I am waiting for order confirmation of Rise M10. I am really stoked. Not cheap but worth the money. @Geoff are you using some volume spacers or tokens in rear shock? Are you happy with frame progression?
Sick!!!! I have one token in the front. Nothing in the rear. Great progression throughout the stroke. These bikes are insane dude
@@GeoffGulevich And my Rise has arrived. Ready to shred. So far I am very impressed with agility and stability at the same time.
@@MichalM2012 I’m so stoked to hear that! Have fun out there!!!!
its evident that you like the bike, but what other e-bikes have you tried, and how (if any) does it compare ?
I’ve tried everything from Focus bikes and the Altitude pp from Rocky Mountain.
The rise is much lighter and rides like a normal bike
Surprised you had that much battery life to do all of that riding. Have you had a chance to ride a 3rd gen turbo levo? These are two bikes I am trying to decide on
By the way Awesome skills and crazy cool trails there...subbed
Yeah dude. Crazy range. I started with only a 3/4 battery also
Have not tried the levo
Question. What is all the loud noise coming from the bike on the downhill. Like a box full of small pieces. Is that from the motor in coasting mode? Or just some part on the bike?
This was all shot within the first 72h of receiving the preproduction model.
Once I had all the kinks worked out, she had been quiet as a church mouse since
Hi. Excellent review 👍. Im very interested in this bike but Im not sure about size? Im 179cm- 5.10 feet and Im currently on trance X M size .Can ask what size are you and what size bike did you take?
Regards
For sure. I’m 6 feet tall and I run a Large. I think a medium would probably do the job
Thanks a lot for letting me know👍
@@marcinjurek4018 no problem
awesome! i see the lack of slackness in this bike didn't affect you much, lol. I see vids of folks making it 160/160 mullet and 64 HA, that would seem perfect!
Sweet!!!
So goes just fine but definitely want to try 160 up front. Not a fan of the mullet
Do you think you can mullet this bike? I saw a video of someone running a 8.5x2.5 coil shock, 27.5 wheels out back and increasing travel to 160/160. Thoughts?
That’s a good question.
I’d have to ask direct, opposed to just make up an answer for you
sick edit bud!
Thanks Andy!
Oh, and will you be doing more videos with the Rise? Or was this a demo unit Orbea gave you just for this video? I'd love to see more videos of you on the Rise.
I’ll be on it a ton!
I love my levo sl expert going down, but there just isn't enough power going up. Thinking about selling sl and getting new rise hydro with 540 battery.
You would be stoked!
Hi Geoff, what’s the frame size and yours? I‘m 68.5 and tending to use the M. Not sure though.
Hi joe
In 6 feet tall. I ride a Large
It's takes on the north shore tells you how nimble this bike is
I'm looking at getting one ! & Going for the custom paint job in murdered out black with red PNW grips !
Oh heck ya!!!! I would murder out my bike if i wasn’t required to have bright bikes
@@GeoffGulevich Hi Geoff, why are you required to have bright bikes ?
@@andrewgreenwood8727 I guess, not necessarily required but it’s better for shooting. Sponsors want their logos big and apparent

rad riding as usual.

You can design your own bike on the Orbea website and have it sent direct.
But yes, I did choose these colours
Can you provide more info on how you insulated to reduce raffle? My M20 should be her this Monday. First MTB since I used to mountain bike a ton about 20 years ago.
Reduce rattle…
Yeah dude.
Just stuff it a bit w foam. Easy easy
Very Impressive, what was your suspension set up?
Thanks! Running fox 36 at 150mm up front and a fox float rear
what an amazing trail ! (and bike), where is this ?
ok, found where it is :), incredible, even if some trails look more like something you would find in disneyworld or a circus ;-)
@@nitraM321 hahaha it’s pretty cool here
The question is do. Sell my 160/150 enduro bike and go for the top build in this. 150/140. Full XTR. Not sure I can have only an ebike in the stable. But 10-11K USD is tough to just get outright. Not all trails are ebike allowed yet either. How about your riding areas, are you seeing more ebike all access trails?
Totally fair thought process. I love mine and they are allowed on 99% of trails here
Hello. Does anyone know the naome of that color? It looks so nice!!
was ein geiler trail :-D
Thank s for watching
Well, I was going to ask if you thought if this bike had enough travel but holy shit dude, you absolutely smashed that trail! You are obviously a very talented rider. Couple of questions if you don't mind? Is your suspension stock or have you upped the travel and do you find it enough? Also how much does that Ep8 rattle piss you off? Thanks....nice riding....great trails.
Stock shock. Since then, I put a bit of foam in the frame and silenced the rattle.
Quiet as a mouse now
Okay Geoff, lvased what shock you had earlier, stock l see. Is that the Grip 3 position, it's hard to see. Any advantage in going to 160mm up front
@@matthewstubbs6890 stock shock. 2 position. I like the 160 up front for bigger jumps and a bit taller front end
@@GeoffGulevich Can you please explain the foam "fix"? I'm getting the H15 and I'm thinking the AL tubes may amplify the rattle over the M carbon models.
@@Roaming50 I believe production has solved that issue.
Come back to me if you have any once you receive it
Skills dude
Thanks bro
I want one. A guy I know has a levo and says have a full on ebike or not at all. I think you have shown wrong
@@wgnwheels333 happy to do it 🤙🏼
Do I order this bike online? Every shop around here in BC and probably Canada has no stock of anything right now. Huge shortage on bikes. How do I get one Geoff? Also, when you come out to West Kelowna will u be on that bike?
Try Bike Bling in California, USA. I think they are the biggest dealer in North America.

I mean just by judging from what we can see its worth the money, if you have that kind of money lying around and have nothing else to spend it on, but a dad of 3 and 2 are teenage girls, I would sooner save it and buy a machine.
Hi Geoff, please don't reply to my questions. They have all been answered in the comments. Are you happy with the Grip vs the Grip 2 which I already have (160 but could swop airsprings) Fantastic video. Orbea should sponsor you!!!
To be honest I don’t know the difference between those two things hahaha

Won’t regret it
The infamous EP8 rattle is a buzz kill
I redid my insulation after day 1 and made it much more silent
@@GeoffGulevich The rattle doesn't bug me much--I barely notice it. (ha, might just be that I just have to concentrate so much on the downs that I don't hear it). But I'm totally curious on what you did to reduce it on yours.
This bike has been a complete game-changer for me. I've only had one other "toy"--a magic surfboard--that has put this big of a smile on my face. Pre-surgery, I was riding an Evil Following. I'm running the same trails on the Rise (blues/low blacks on the shore) and am having just as much fun or more on the downs.
