Discover the Orbea Rise 2025: two models under the Rise banner: the Rise SL and the Rise LT
Welcome to our latest video where we dive into the cutting-edge world of electric mountain bikes with the launch of the Orbea Rise 2025. This isn't just an upgrade; it's a revolutionary approach to eMTB design that pushes the boundaries of what's possible.
The Orbea Rise 2025 is a game changer in the light eMTB category, which has seen rapid evolution since its inception around 2019. Orbea's commitment to enhancing the mountain biking experience is evident in their new design, which aims to merge the feel of traditional mountain biking with the advantages of electric assistance.
This year, Orbea introduces two distinct models under the Rise banner: the Rise SL and the Rise LT, both sharing the same frame but differing significantly in their setup and intended use.
The Rise SL is all about endurance and versatility. With 140mm of travel both at the front and rear and equipped with a Fox 34 fork, the SL model is perfect for long mountain rides. It's designed for those who love to explore and need a bike that's as good on a climb as it is on a descent. Weighing just over 16 kilograms for the M-Team version with a 430 Wh battery, it’s a bike that won’t weigh you down.
On the other hand, the Rise LT is built for the trail enthusiasts who crave descent-oriented adventures. It features a more robust Fox 36 fork with 160mm of front travel and 150mm at the rear. The geometry can be adjusted via a flip-chip, making it an aggressive, fun, and maneuverable bike on technical trails.
Both models are powered by the Shimano EP801 RS motor, which offers up to 85Nm of torque, ensuring that no hill is too steep. Orbea has enhanced this setup with their second-generation Rider Synergy (RS) firmware, which provides a more natural riding experience, balancing power and endurance seamlessly.
The frame of the Rise 2025 itself is a marvel of engineering. Orbea has achieved a 22% increase in stiffness while maintaining the agility and comfort mountain bikers need. This is thanks to innovative design choices like the asymmetric reinforcement tube, which helps tailor the frame’s rigidity.
Battery technology also sees a significant upgrade in the Rise 2025. Orbea offers two battery sizes: a 420 Wh for lighter, more nimble handling, and a 630 Wh for extended range. These batteries use the latest 21700 cells, providing 17% more energy density per kilogram compared to the industry average, meaning more power without the extra weight.
In conclusion, whether you're an endurance rider or a thrill-seeker on the descents, the Orbea Rise 2025 offers something for everyone without compromising the essence of mountain biking—connecting the rider to the trail with exceptional handling and natural pedaling feel.
