NEW 2025 Orbea Rise LT | Full Power and Light Weight - Dissected

#emtb #loamwolf
The new 2025 Orbea Rise LT, a 150/160mm lightweight eMTB packs a full 85Nm of torque with builds starting at just 38.8lbs. New for this year Orbea will be offering the Rise in either the LT or SL family. For lightweight trail riders the Orbea SL will prioritize weight and nimbleness while the LT will be a bit stiffer, offer more travel and a burlier build.

Orbea making an already great bike even better! Solid overview Loam Wolf!!

[@TheAngryHusky]

I’d be interested if they sold a frame only option.

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

It would be easy to make a gearbox that fits ebikes, return to sanity 😂

[@jimmyz5831]

Definitely one of the best looking and lighter e-mtb's. Would love to have one but the $10,000 +/- price is nuts. The bikes are evolving so fast my Levo SL is almost outdated.

[@elgeffe503]

You have the new Levo SL? I'm interested in the same bike. Why do you think it's already outdated?

[@mikelesh9513]

IMHO, the Levo SL is awesome. It accomplished its mission perfectly. It is a small motor and battery. My Expert version weighs 42lbs with pedals. When I need the motor (or want it on:) it is there. Most of the time I cruise without the motor. I did not buy it to pretend I have a motorcycle. It is a bike first and an ebike second.

[@brookscurran]

@@elgeffe503 even the new levo sl only offers 50nm max torque and a pretty small 320wh battery

[@Silverbeardedsurfer]

​​​I love mine. Use it more than my full fat 90nm Turbo Levo. I have 2 range extenders lol.

[@leavemealoam]

@@brookscurran this is main issue with it IMO still small battery

[@fullpullmtb]

Was my first time through, definitely want to go back. Tre’s was sick!

[@mowensmd]

The flip chip is genius. The 16kg bike is insane. But otherwise, a 4-5k bike is what needs to happen. The prices are insane when folks are cross shopping convergence in electric motorcycles at lower prices.

[@superyamagucci]

Yeah mate, I could get a dirtbike for less than an e-bike with the same components as my bike minus the motor and battery. My bike is nice but not special. Saw an e-bike the other day that cost a used WRX, 2 decent mtbs and change for a couple of weekends away. How many plumbers are buying these things?? (My dentist said he wished he earned as much as his one. Really.)

[@Silverbeardedsurfer]

And you could buy a watch that costs the same as my house. So what. There are cheaper options for poor people. And plumbers aren't poor in my experience.

[@Dragonfly0987]

ABSOLUTELY!

[@AlbertFlynnDeSilver]

WHERE is this filmed?? These knife ridge trails are rad! Oh, and the bike seems pretty cool too.

[@fullpullmtb]

The POV is from Tre’s in Leavenworth Washington. There was some serious dual side exposure!

[@alext4124]

Was that 40lb spec with the 630wh or 420wh battery installed?

[@bfranco1519]

Have they addressed the shock yoke failures?

[@tonybennett3904]

Lovely bike,would be interesting to see a breakdown of all aspects to see how these prices are arrived at.

[@marius.9832]

Nice Video! Does the ep801 have only full torque or even full peak-watt-power in RS+ mode? Because the former rs ep8 had „only“ 60nm and ~350 watts peak power (at least in series 😉)

[@fullpullmtb]

This one has a peak tq of 85nm at 600 watts of peak power 👍

[@guyvishnu]

@@fullpullmtb I heard the RS tune only goes to 500 watts

[@tim8061]

You can unlock the RS to give 85Nm as it's only the software that restricts it.

[@Kev2Bee]

@@guyvishnuThe ep801 has 600 max watts in my 2024 Rise. The earlier ep8 had 500 max. Accurate info is not easily found and confusion remains.

[@francoinvisser4058]

I appreciate that the marketing manager for Orbea can speak design, engineering and understands the value of the considered features. Well done Orbea!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Parker definitely isn’t just a marketing monkey, he is a shredder in the bike, smart and knows what matters when it comes to both design and spec.

[@synchron9019]

Da hat die Bikeindustrie sich mal wieder selbst übertroffen. Vor Jahren haben sie einen Motor verkauft (EP8). Dann haben sie den gleichen Motor gedrosselt und teurer verkauft (EP8 Rs). Jetzt verkaufen sie wieder den alten Motor, aber dafür teurer, weil sie sagen: „Wir verkaufen euch den alten Motor, aber haben ihn für euch gedrosselt. Weil ihr den alten Motor in gedrosselter Form ja gar nicht haben wollt, könnt ihr den aber entdrosseln, damit ihr wieder den alten Motor fahren könnt (EP RS+). Da ihr jetzt aber quasi wieder den alten EP8 fahren könnt, nehmen wir einen ordentlichen Preisaufschlag.“ Habe ich das so richtig zusammengefasst?

[@tobi2001]

Hey, ich fahr selber ein Rise M10 und man könnte es so formulieren ja. In diesem Fall würde ich aber sagen ist der Motor einfach nur eine verdammt gute Grundlage mit der Orbea arbeitet und im laufe der Jahre ans Rad angepasst hat. Es spielt eben doch auch die Software Implementierung eine Rolle beim fahren, nicht nur die reinen Fakten. Viel mehr hat sich in letzter Zeit bei den Akkus getan und genau aus dem Grund hat Orbea sich vermutlich entschieden jetzt den Kunden die Möglichkeit selbst zu geben die volle Power des Motors zu nutzen. Nicht zuletzt da die Konkurrenz nach einiger Zeit jetzt eben auch nachgeholt hat. Mich selbst würde nur interessieren was die Firmen mit ihren eigenen Tunings auf den Motoren für Möglichkeiten der Fahreigenschaften in der Praxis haben. Ich bin mit der Leistung meines Bikes bis jetzt sehr zufrieden und vermisse keine Leistung sondern finde es sehr angenehm, dass es eben extrem Natürlich und sehr angenehm unterstützt und nicht nur 0 und 1 kennt wie so mancher Bosch. Grüße

Warum postest du den Beitrag eigentlich unter nahezu jedes Video über das neue Orbea? Arbeitest du bei Bosch oder Yamaha?

[@nesimsarac1841]

Buy the "old" orbea rise. Get the cascade link to make the rear 150 mm with the same shock . Air shaft for the fork. Go 160mm Then remap the soft where to the normal ep8 software. Then you got a beast of a bike .

[@Kev2Bee]

This is my exact plan for my heavily discounted Goblin M20 eP801. 540Wh. OTeam 32 wheels with DT350 hubs, Magura MT7 brakes, Sram 200 rotors, Fox36 Factory 160mm, DPX2 55mm 0.8 cu, SLX 12, OneUp 180 post, 165 eThirteen cranks, DHF/DHR. My flip-chip is in the 160 fork. All I want is approved firmware with 85Nm. peak. 🎉

[@alext4124]

That 66° head tube angle and flexy frame says otherwise. Simply adding travel doesn't make it a beast

[@roddas26]

Cables through the headset? THAT'S A HARD NO 😂

[@xav_1029]

Another video said max power was 500w and 85nm...you mentioned 600/85. Can you confirm we get full 600w of power?

[@mikeingraham611]

No water bottle cages?

[@kenbest76]

That strut across the frame is only on one side leaving room for a bottle cage. Other reviews show it with a bottle cage.

[@fullpullmtb]

I run a Evoc pack so rarely has a cage installed. There is bolts for it though

[@chuckduck]

The bike is too expensive. Cannondale moterra SL is 2000$ (canadian) less with comparable specs/weight/battery. And the orbea have a slightly detuned motor (100w less than original ep801). Nice bike, but not great.

[@tim8061]

But you get an integrated multitool hidden in the rear suspension link! Kidding - I think the Moterra SL2 edges it, but that is a heavier alloy frame. The alloy Orbea version will be out soon which will be a fairer comparison.

[@Old-Man-MTB]

What about the weight????

@@jc2478 You can’t be bothered looking at the $1K -$2K bikes in their product range?

When the Rise was first released, it had features that other manufacturers' bikes lacked at the time and is why I bought one. Now that the industry has caught up, I see no compelling reason to buy a Rise at this point. And why would you buy an "LT" version when you can just get the Wild?

[@Mountain_Manu]

because it is 3kg lighter in the full fat configuration

[@dylananderson4314]

The industry just got left behind again. no other brand has a 630wh battery in a sub 50lb bike. no one else is even close. even the 420wh is competitively light. the Wild barely has more battery and the same torque so if anything theres no longer a compelling reason to get the Wild.

[@kenbest76]

@@dylananderson4314 let’s hope they revised the rear suspension linkages so they don’t flex all over and creak non-stop. Or having the rear swingarm crack or have a rear hub fail after 100 miles. I’ll take a bike that holds together over a big battery any day.

Why do all the manufacturers agree to make electric bicycles with non-removable batteries??? with a full-power engine it will be a sad range (((

[@fullpullmtb]

The profiles are selectable so you do not need to run it at max TQ, they also increased battery efficiency by I think it was 8% for the same weight cells. I did about 3k in full power 1,800 of which was with camera gear on my back and was left at 38% charge remaining 👍

[@vidibites]

This has the world’s highest power density battery in a production emtb. Combine it with the range extender to get 840wh. There’s no way you’re going to run out.

[@tim8061]

Cost/weight benefit. Why would you need a removeable battery unless you live in Alaska or ride 12hrs every day? If the answer is yes to either than simply buy another brand!

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

Pls staaap manufacturers with that 2025 BS, automakers also started doing this yrs ago it's to create a sense of fomo on the newest and greatest, it's not Orbea's fault but all the marketing aholes who think this is sustainable with educated customers, especially now that so many people abandoned the sport, it was fun during the pandemic but it's dangerous and kinda hard to keep motivated when you live in the city and weather isn't favorable, so yeah the educated customers who are still there are not eating up that kind of BS. It shows in sales and comments or reviews
