I like the way you always have someone following and doing the video, Its a good change from pov only in almost all videos

[@CatMTBPilot]

Ah thank you!

[@bit1979]

That looks like a great bike and you were FAST on it!

THanks for your reviews; looks like you have a ball with these beauties :)

[@CatMTBPilot]

Ah thank you! Yeah I have to say I absolutely love having a go at some different bikes, very lucky!

[@anthonycrainie5271]

Great review 👍.. Definitely on my radar 👌

[@CatMTBPilot]

Thanks so much!! Yeah it’s a great bike...

Great video, great bike and you're lovely!

[@CatMTBPilot]

Ah thank you so much, so glad you liked the vid!

[@michaelackley1560]

Also lovely accent to my USA ears. Where in the isles are you from? Would you rec. the rise for 65 plus? How far was your range?

[@CatMTBPilot]

Wexford originally but I live in Dublin now for a good few years. I would highly recommend it! We did a lot of biking, three hours constantly going and I still had battery left but I can’t tell you how many KMs, other than it felt like a lot! I’m 54kgs so that would have meant I’d get longer out of it than the average male but I still don’t think it would be an issue..

[@michaelackley1560]

@@CatMTBPilot thank you for your vid and info. Mike

[@dgricus]

When do you think we will see a 30 pound mountain bike 🚲. ? Thank you

[@CatMTBPilot]

I reckon it’ll be a while yet for a full performance e bike but you just never know!

[@TheeJohnWayne]

Great video! I want to customize my own Orbea Rise one day. All white. The only thing holding me back on MTB ebikes is maintenance after the warranty is over. If the motor or other electronic part breaks down, how long will Orbea support the bike? If i'm going to spend 7-9k usd on an ebike, I would hope to have aftermarket options to repair the bike like for my used car, which costs about the same as this bike haha

[@CatMTBPilot]

Thanks so much for watching! 🤘 Yeah I hear you about the prices and warranties alright. Oh that sounds very interesting about the all white!! 👊

[@gsw2305]

Thanks for the great review!

[@CatMTBPilot]

Ah thank you for the lovely comment!

[@christophersullivan6405]

If you only had enough money to buy one bike and live in an area 500-1000 meters of climbing is pretty typical, would you buy this bike? I am really torn about giving in to an e-bike.

[@CatMTBPilot]

I would definitely recommend an e bike and this one is pretty awesome alright but I’m not sure yet it would be my favourite! There’s still time to test ride others fingers crossed!

[@carlgregori887]

Is there a big difference between the Rise and the Wild FS? I have a Wild at the moment but thinking of changing to the Rise

[@CatMTBPilot]

I got to test ride the Wild FS as well so I’ll be releasing a video about it. Completely different bikes but I loved both. You’ll have to wait to the video to see which I preferred! 🤣

[@cd9278]

Lovely bike, I’ve ordered the Rise M10 and counting down the days until delivery next month ! Do you find the power sufficient as I’m coming from the previous full power Shimano E8000 ?

[@CatMTBPilot]

I rode the wild fs which has a Bosch CX Generation 4 which would be similar I presume to the E8000 and it was definitely more powerful than the RS going up the hills but the only difference was the speed really when it came down to it as I felt no more tired in the Rise than the Wild and I did the same amount of biking both days. Good luck with it, I hope you love it!!

[@cd9278]

Thanks for reply that’s really helpful 🙏

[@cd9278]

Finally got my M10, lovely bike. I put on a proper rear boot and a 200mm front rotor and it’s good to go. My XL is coming out with pedals at 18.8kg surprised yours was over 19kg ! The RS on boost is actually reasonably powerful sort of Trail + compared with a FF bike as the lower mass still makes it quite frisky power wise and of course far less truck like In terms if chassis feel. Just miss the Shimano controller...

[@seancain7305]

Just watched this one too (I'm on a roll now)... I see, 16KG is only on the tip top Rise from the range, thanks .

[@CatMTBPilot]

Ah thanks for watching!! 👊🙌🙌

Just released unboxing of the commencal meta power sx e bike and am currently working on footage for the Specialized Kenevo and the Specialized Turbo Levo SL!!

[@michaelackley1560]

What size would fit you. How tall and in seam? Thanks

[@CatMTBPilot]

I think a small would suit me and I’m 5ft 4 with short legs!! 🤣

[@stephanreimann5407]

@@CatMTBPilot But you drove it in size L? Why would size M not fit?

[@CatMTBPilot]

They only had size large in the shop but ideally I would prefer a size small based on my short legs!

[@andrewgreenwood8727]

What great review ! A breath of fresh air ! That's the type of review that mountain bikers need ! Well put together, loads of info, enjoyable footage ! I thought an excellent blend !!! Makes for a very refreshing change ! You should work as an Ambassador !! You can see your passion ! 👌🚵⛄

[@CatMTBPilot]

Thank you so much Andrew for the lovely comments! And you’re so right it is definitely my passion now!! 😃

[@videosTaquillaCero]

How many kms did you get from that battery? I know the range depends on many factors, but could I get an idea? TK

[@CatMTBPilot]

You have to use an app which I didn’t have installed on my phone but we did about 20km and there was still battery left. I’m 54 kg so that would obviously affect the range too.

[@mtbtrails121]

Nice review, first I see where someone actualy weights the bike. The M Team is mostly advertised at 17.5 kg without pedals , with 36 Fox and bigger tires, You use heavy pedals then :-) to come to 19.4 kg.

[@CatMTBPilot]

It comes with a Maxxis Rekon on the front as far as I know where this bike had a DHF which would be heavier but more grip of course. There was a good bit of tubeless fluid too, the pedals were average weight alright! 😄

[@nostr8ghtlinzs596]

looks like a good bike. Good review. i will say those of on the chunkier side, (dad here) we need to peddle.......

[@CatMTBPilot]

Thanks a mill, I’m glad you enjoyed the review! Yeah with this I had to peddle a bit more than say on the wild FS which had a bigger battery but it was still very easy going up the hill even the steep ones!

[@nostr8ghtlinzs596]

@@CatMTBPilot I can understand the ebike. We are very flat where I am. :( keep the videos coming!

Excellent voice over again Cat👍 very interesting video too, after getting over the fact it’s an ebike 😉😂

[@CatMTBPilot]

Thanks a mill Rob, ah you and Adam may be converted yet! Much more of the fun time on the downhills with an e bike! 😄

[@robedge7670]

@@CatMTBPilot probably the one you tried! Unless you like weight!!

[@1spiders1]

How tall are you ?

[@CatMTBPilot]

I’m 5ft 4, but I do have shorter legs so that’s an impact for getting my feet down on some bikes!

[@1spiders1]

So I’m just under 5 ft 9 with I think 32leg I think L would be fine for me. What do you think which is a nicest colour the blue looks the most out there

[@CatMTBPilot]

Yeah I think you're right. The blue is class looking, but if I was buying one I would probably use the MYO customisation like I did on my Orbea Rallon cause I do love a bit of colour!

[@1spiders1]

What colour would you choose ? There was a black gloss m10 avail with dark silver decals, personally I think that was too bland and dark ,at least they should have added brighter decals on it, but they went for the stealth look I think , but for Orbea rise myo custom paint you mentioned, you looking next year now for one, I think the blue is nice enough

[@CatMTBPilot]

I think if I was to be able to afford an e bike my heart is now set on the Specialized Kenevo after getting to test ride it and the colours are quite boring on that in comparison to the Orbea! But either way I will have to wait a while to save the money! 🤣

[@cyclomontdor7120]

This bike is awesome ! id like to test ^^

[@CatMTBPilot]

[@brendan1]

Great video. Love your Irish accent. How long did the battery last and how far did you ride?

[@CatMTBPilot]

We were riding for three hours constantly and I still had battery left. I didn’t keep track of the KMs we did but it felt like a lot! I weight about 54 kgs so that might have something to do with it too. So glad you liked the vid and the accent! 😁

[@brendan1]

@@CatMTBPilot Awesome! I've ordered myself a coal blue Rise too! Won't come until July though. Hopefully they'll boost production at some point and it'll come earlier. Also, I love Ireland. My mother was born in Dublin. I have lots of relatives there and have visited a bunch. I live in Canada now but visited Galway in 2019. Beautiful place. My favourite town is Killarney so far. Looking forward to going back after the pandemic sometime.
