The Rise of the ORBEA e-Bike: Is it Worth the Hype?

The 2023 H30 is approx 1lb lighter with a new controller switch. Nice review. I am 135lb rider so this bike would do just great for me doing light XC riding. Cheers bro!

rode a 2022 M20 rental in bentonville this year for two days. I really loved the bike, and i did get the 'smaller' size (could have gone large, but I got a medium for more flickability). It's really a fun bike to huck off of trail side hits and drops of less than 3', which is fine, as my days of seeking ever bigger stuff are waning - I'm just in for a rowdy good time on the trail, and the Rise is a fun bike, if you remember it's still a 'trail-bike' (but you could make it a mini-enduro bike with a 150mm fork, wider rims, 4-pot brakes, etc. - prolly be super awesome that way)

The 2023 is lighter. The high end model I believe they were able to get it down to 32 lbs.

SBF reference LOL. earned a sub with that one. I lost everything in my BlockFi cuz of that a$$hole

H means hydroformed and stands for alloy. M is Carbon. In 2023 you can get any M Version with 540Wh battery
