The Orbea Rise H30 is the flyweight of our value eMTB showdown. It comes in at least 10 pounds lighter than the rest of the competition. As you'll see, that becomes the defining characteristic of the bike. So is it the right value eBike for you? Stick around to find out.

I bought my Rise about 6 weeks ago, love it! I am 58 years old and ride with a lot of younger faster groups and was looking for a little pedal assistance. I use profile 1, the lower power mode in Eco or Trail to give myself that 20% pedaling boost to get an extra 1 to 1.5mph on a longer ride. In my mind this bike is designed for someone who rides a lot but might be slowing down a little. I can still unweight this bike and hop an 18" log with ease and it is incredible nimble and comfortable to ride for hours at a time. Going back and forth between trail and eco over a 22 mile ride with 2200 feet of climbing I only used 2 out of 5 battery bars.

Thankyou so much for this great review. I'm starting to consider a mid e-bike to counteract old age, and coming from an Anthem 29, prefer a lighter more nimble XC kinda bike. I also want a more normal bike feel, so having you mention this a few times is the biggest thing for me. Appreciated.

The rise would be a perfect fit for you.

I own the H15 for a few months now and already put 1200km (~750 miles) with 30km (~20 miles) of elevation on it, never rode so much MTB in the past. I can totally agree to all of your points. 👍 Before I went on my first tour I changed: * to 4P XT Brakes * 203mm brake disks (f/r) * Assegai Exo+ (front) * DHR II Exo+ (back) * set the nm-limit to max (the Rise is shipped with less then max power set as default) * put protection shild on the frame (foil) After I changed this, the Rise became my absolute dream bike and is all I ever wanted and needed. 🥰🥰🥰 P.S.: I also own the corresponding Occam and the difference is surprisingly small 😮

Can't wait for the Oso review (you know why, go team Ibis). Also the Shuttle and Trek in this light weight category would make for a great comparison.

Do you think that the Rise is also a good allrounder for rides on gravel, paved paths and forest paths? (I don’t ride trails but the terrain in my area is steep). Or should I better go for the Urrun then?

@BikersEdgeKaysville 11 ай бұрын

If you're mostly on bike paths and paved roads you could save yourself a lot of money by getting the Urrun.

@BikersEdgeKaysville Жыл бұрын

Hey thanks. I avoid giving out specific size advice over the internet. It’s a crapshoot. I’d recommend a test ride. If you can’t do that the next best thing will be the orbea size chart.

Nice, I had an h15 but ended up selling it for a heckler. H series isn't the most stable descender at high speeds/chunk.

@BikersEdgeKaysville Жыл бұрын

As far as ride quality goes, I don't think there's much of a stability difference between the carbon and alloy. They both have the same geo and suspension platform.

@@anonymousone6075 It's more about the downhill handling characteristics of those 50+ lb bikes. They feel very different. A 40lb is still more to manage but is getting a lot closer to the handling and ride quality of a pedal bike.

@BikersEdgeKaysville Жыл бұрын

Haha. I’m about as far from being a weight weenie as it gets but 10lb makes a massive difference on a bike. If you want to see for yourself, go ride a Giant Reign E and then the Orbea Rise. Then you’ll see what I’m talking about. They each have their pros on cons.
