Back at it with a bike that's a bit out of the norm for us. We’ve got the Orbea Urrun. It's a hardtail, and it’s an eMTB. It rocks the lighter weight, lower power Shimano EP8 RS and a decent-sized 540Wh battery. All-in-all, it’s designed to go far. In fact, Urrun in the Basque language means far. So today, we’re trying to go far. We’re going to kill a battery while talking about who this bike is for. Stick around to see if it’s the right eMTB for you.

    I love my Urrun. It's a great bike for exploring new ground, unmarked forest trails, general country riding. I've taken it on 45 mile rough coastal tracks which I wouldn't contemplate doing on my Orbea Occam or gravel bike, im also 52 not 22 with quite a few old niggling injuries. I'm about to pull the trigger on a range extender, expensive yes, but I'm planning on doing some longer road trips whenever the Irish weather decides to play nice for a change
  • Had this bike for a few months. Good gravel/commuter. I even put studded tires on it and rode it all winter. My other ebike is a Yeti 160e. So a big difference. The Urrun is a great adventure bike if you are going to stick to road and gravel. Anything beyond that, I would recommend a SL bike with full suspension. The Urrun was great for me, but after a few months my body couldn't take it anymore. But I'm old and feel everything now days. Great bike, just wasn't a good fit for me. Great review as always by bikers edge!

    great review - no bs - straight to the point and down to earth - great blog too! thanks!!
  • Seems like this is just a bike for, adventure, and it looks like it rides rather fun. I also think this might be the only good looking E-Hardtail.
  • @frevdaele
    Thank you. I am in the market for an Urrun. Your video helped me decide.

    Brilliant review in fact the best review ive seen of any bike. Some questions, if I removed the fork to reduce weight and fitted skinnier tyres basically for doing small distance touring with light off road would this make the motor slower with less weight since the front chainring is small ?
  • @William.N
    This looks like a very interesting bike. Having a general purpose bike you can do some light shredding on and a bike for the gnar seems like the way to go

    What does it weigh? I want to be able to lift it over a locked gate, put in my car etc. I have a cube that’s great but 24kg

    Just got this bike and finally got to take it on a 21 mile blue trail ride. Even though I was a little beat up by the end- this bike can hold its own. It also climbs like a goat. What are your thoughts on the brakes? I feel like mine are underpowered but they may just need to be looked at.
  • @patrick.771
    Which Urrun was this? The Urrun 10 or Urrun 30? Do you think I need the size XL when I‘m 186cm (6‘1) and have longer than average legs?
  • @unstantane
    great review! did you experience rattle noise similar to what the rise is famous for?
  • @narrenrot1362
    Is there a better HT similar to urrun (price wise too) with longer range you could recommend?
  • @MrMrBorka
    I have one, just for what you mentioned, Commute + Adventure. I too am (6"2 or 188 cm as I say) with an XL my short legs could have gone for for an L as the standover hight is fairly tall. Super happy with the rest!

    Can you change the drive mode settings via the app? As far as I know this is possible when you have the display installed …
  • @Accu53Mation
    In the congested cities, the number-one reason for e-bike crashes and motor-vehicle collisions, is riders are zombied into gawking at the handlebar display.
  • @johnbarbuto6738
    How reasonable is it to ride this unpowered? I know 43 pounds is on the heavy side for a mountain bike, but does it feel reasonable, or is it just an unpleasant pig when unpowered? Close to pulling the trigger to buy.

    You know Diet Coke is bad for you ? If your out riding the sugar of regular coke gets used
