I seen that bike in person and surprisingly feels pretty light. Also had a DHX2 shock. Good job Orbea

My hard tail would eat that trail up at 5:27! Looks fun. I'm highly interested in making a Wild or Rise my next ebike purchase.

That trail with the wood bridges is rough AF. The Rise is a good bike but that Shimano motor is not competitive with the Bosch this year.

@EMTBReview I don't have much experience ebike wise, but I do have one year and 250m of blue trails on my Aventon Ramblas' motor. It seems like most have a little catching up to do. Don't get me wrong the A100 is not the pinnacle of motor design (I'm brand agnostic like you), but my point is these others need to really get it right going forward. Especially what with all the vertical integration that will continue to occur. Love your videos and insight man.

Thank you for the review! I went for the pivot shuttle Lt this will be my first emtb I had ordered the Orbea initially I love the color ways,But I was dreading the wait! I started researching and it I read that it might be hard to obtain certain parts from Orbea and that it would take a while. The Bosch race motor in the Pivot is no joke. I feel in love instantly 😍

I'm doing a battle review between the Orbea Wild and the Pivot Shuttle LT. You chose well I think. The power of the Race motor is not really more but it is very usable and easy to access when needed. Supple ride too on the Shuttle LT. And yes, Pivot dealer support is very good here in the US.

Cascade component needs to make the mullet link please! And I’m curious to know if the aluminum is as stiff as the carbon?
@EMTBReview11 сағат бұрын
That is a good idea for Cascade to make a Mullet link. Maybe lower the BB a hair and make the suspension more supple.

Thank you very much for this very good, precise and honest test. Precisely, speaking of the Santa Cruz Vala how do you compare it with the Wild (in mullet)? Thank's
@EMTBReview20 сағат бұрын
Great question. Although different travel on both these bikes with the Vala at 150/160mm and the Wild at 170/170mm, some folks may be trying to choose between the two bikes since they are both the latest Horst Link bikes with the Bosch CX5 motor I think the Vala will work better for most folks since it is fast, agile and supple. It's so easy to manhandle and throw around. And when it gets steep and rough, it's stable with with its stout rear end. The radial Schwalbe tires on the Vala too are an unfair advantage since they're so supple with lots of traction. Downside is the 600wh internal battery with no option for 750wh unlike the Wild. The Wild is great for tall, big guys who have very rough terrain and want to be fastest down to the bottom of the hill. I tested it as a mullet and I think it's a lot better in that config because of all that travel, length and height. But it really wasn't designed as a 27.5 rear and was just made to work with a link so not quite optimized.

Nice! I like this bike. IMO, the biggest selling point is the Bosch gen 5 motor. Im waiting for Santacruz to come out with Bosch powered Bullit.
@EMTBReview21 сағат бұрын
I agree with you on both counts. They had to update this bike to use the new Bosch Gen 5 with new motor mounts. When I tested the new Santa Cruz Vala, the Gen 5 on that was a bit noisy on climbs. Probably an early release because on this Orbea Wild, soooo quiet on climbs. Yes the new Bullit will likely have Bosch and Horst Link. we need that big Bosch battery on a Santa Cruz since the Vala did not offer a 750 or 800wh.

@ good to know that about the Wild. I like this Wild for sure. I currently ride Canyon strive ON with Bosch gen 4 race motor and SC bullit with the ep800 motor. I love the race motor and the Bullit 😂 Yeah, so many folks I know are jumping the ship from the brose and shimano fanbase over to Bosch. With the Horst link it doesn’t look Santacruz anymore. Let’s see what they do with the Bullit. Im all set to buy the next Bullit if Santacruz can do the magic!

it may be more supple with a coil shock?

Possibility but no Guarantee. The new Fox X2 is very configurable and I backed out a lot of the damping.
