The Orbea Rise M10 continues to redefine the lightweight e-Mtb and set a new standard for the class. Orbea’s goal with the Rise is to bring riders closer to the trail with a “more bike, less E” philosophy. The result is the most natural-feeling e-bike on the market and the newest Rise builds on that success. The Rise returns, lighter, sleeker, and ready to open up longer adventures and provide epic rides.
Much of what makes the Rise an outstanding machine lies within Orbea’s notion of Rider Synergy. They describe this philosophy as “A system where power, range, interface, and weight are considered together, resulting in a bike which works with the rider to deliver the highest performance”. Reducing the weight of the Rise has helped the Rise achieve handling characteristics more like a non-assisted bike (much like Orbea’s venerable Occam trail bike) and Shimano EP801-RS and EP6-RS motors deliver smooth, efficient power in a manner so natural feeling, you might forget you’re riding an e-bike. The higher efficiency transfer of a smaller amount of power means longer battery life per charge, as well as a smoother, more un-assisted feeling ride. Further, all Rise M-Series carbon models receive a 300g lighter battery with no reduction in range or performance.
The newest model brings welcome enhancements such as secure integrated cables (“SIC” System) that route through the headset, an optimized charge port cover, and a slick two-part linkage design that features an integrated 4-key multi-tool. Additionally, M-Series carbon frames are about 100g lighter than earlier Rise bikes with no sacrifice in durability or stiffness.
Also new for 2023 is the Shimano EN600-L Bluetooth remote which includes both the power button and motor assistance controls in one discrete location. LEDs show the assistance level and give information on battery availability. Di2-equipped models the cable is routed through the handlebar netting the cleanest cockpit possible.
