BikerumorYou can throw the Rise H10 around far more than a regular electric mountain bike
BikeRadarThe Orbea Rise H15 is a true crossover-artist and perhaps the ultimate gateway for trail-fun-junkies!
E-Mountainbike MagazineThe Rise is a VERY innovative platform, and has legitimized an entire genre of eMTBs that ride more like traditional bicycles.
Jeff Kendall-WeedAltogether, we can’t recommend a better ‘do it all’ e-bike than the Rise Hydro.

At first glance, the new carbon Orbea Rise doesn't look new. The frame looks the same and it still comes with a 360 Wh battery. I take a closer look at the bike, a very close look at the motor and a quick glimpse at the app in this video. Check...

The 2023 Orbea Rise continues to define the lightweight eBike category with a 15.94 kg 140mm travel eMTB rocking the Shimano EP801 RS Motor
Aug 2022 · James Costley-White
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

Efficient motor
Confident, smooth ride feel

In this Orbea Rise H10 Review, we take a look at this lightweight eMTB and test its performance, range and components out on the trail. Read to learn about this bike!
Impressive power for category
Reasonable range
Agile trail feel
MyO customization
We still love full-boost eMTB
Not the most confident descender
Downtube cable rattle
Jul 2022 · LaurenWilliams
Every bit as good as the carbon model, but for less money and with more range.
Lightweight design with a greater than average max torque (60Nm)
Impressive range due to larger battery paired with restricted motor
Sleek electronics
Nearly Invisible aluminum welds
Customizable build kits
Great value for high-end builds
Handles remarkably well through various terrain
Excels on technical climbs
Mimics a natural ride experience on a mountain bike
Stock tires are not on par with the abilities of the bike
Battery life display is vague
Power button positioned in a spot that collects dirt

In our 2022 budget eMTB group test, we pitted the Orbea Rise H15 with Shimano EP8 RS motor and integrated 540 Wh battery against the hottest eMTBs of the year.
Beautiful, high-quality frame and top workmanship
MyO configurator customisation options
Top riding fun on flowing trails
Consistent spec
Only a small brake rotor at the rear

Available in four frame sizes, three color choices, and many hardware upgrade paths using MyO configuration ordering.
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.
