If you want to supplement your leg power on trail rides, not full-on turbo-boost them, the Rise could well be the ebike for you

Orbea launced the carbon frame Orbea Rise a couple of years ago. This was a 29er bike in the Superlight category. The bike came with the Shimano EP8-RS motor, a detuned version of the EP8. With a 360 Wh battery, this bike was quite lightweight. Orbea claimed some 16 kgs for the most expensive model. Watch the video review of the Rise H30, or keep reading below. Less superlight For 2022, Orbea introduced the carbon frame version – Rise Hydro. …

The entry model in the Orbea Rise line of light weight full suspension electric trail bikes. Featuring the Shimano EP8-RS Rider Synergy mid-drive motor that's custom tuned for efficiency, offering 60nm of peak torque and 250 watts nominal output. Available in four frame sizes, three color choices, and many hardware upgrade paths using MyO configuration ordering.
Fully integrated battery pack utilizes 21700 battery cells from Panasonic that offer high energy density, reduced weight, and more charge cycles. Optional range extender battery is shaped like a water bottle for easy mounting and use. Boost hub spacing with 15mm and 12mm thru-axles offer improved stiffness. Stock 29er wheels can switch or mix with 650b and plus sized tires.
Dual piston 180mm hydraulic disc brakes from Shimano. 12-speed Shimano SLX drivetrain with wide 10-51 tooth cassette. Marzocchi suspension fork and Fox rear suspension offer 140mm travel with compression and rebound adjust. 40mm dropper seat post, fast 4 amp battery charger, highly adjustable Shimano SC-E7000 display panel and smartphone app.
Heavier than the M series carbon fiber frames, in part because the H series comes with a higher capacity battery pack (540wh vs. 360wh). Charging port is directly in the path of the left crank arm, the power button is low on the frame, the menu change button is on the Shimano display vs. the easy to reach button pad. Main battery is not easily removed which adds weight, can make charging more difficult, may limit travel and and subject the battery to varied temperatures.

The new aluminum Rise has a bigger battery and a lower price than its carbon counterpart.
Sep 2021
The Orbea Rise is a fast-handling, fast-pedaling eBike Light with a stiffer suspension platform that will translate some feedback and energy to the rider producing an engaged ride experience.
Playful
More power than other eMTB Light Offerings
Fast, nimble and lively
Looks good
Rides like it’s 35lbs
Wheel spec for gnarly riders
Junction box instead of Shimano display
Not cheap

The Orbea Rise takes a very different approach, using a smaller battery and a de-tuned Shimano EP8-RS motor to create a sub-19kg electric mountain bike. But is it just a limp e-MTB that's held back by reduced power? Or does Orbea's concept bring something genuinely new to the e-Table? Read on for our Orbea Rise review.
Impressively low weight
Dialled geometry and superb handling
Smooth, active and tuneable suspension performance
Intuitive power delivery that's easy to modulate
Customisable motor settings
Gorgeous frame design
It's crying out for more capable rubber
35mm carbon bars are overly stiff
Some will find the interface too minimalistic
The EP8 clacking noise remains
