The New 2023 Orbea Wild. How Different is it? #emtb #orbeawild

Published 2023-02-02
The last generation Orbea Wild FS eMTB was awesome, taking home our “Most Versatile All Mountain eMTB” award back in our 2020 eBike Shootout, but things have been moving quickly in the eBike world and Orbea Bicycles wanted to take what they’ve learned and follow up with another hard-hitting enduro eBike. Orbea has been hard at work on the E-Enduro World Series circuit, as well as testing hard internally and we’re excited to finally have the new Orbea Wild beneath us for another Dissected Feature where both Robert and Drew got to spend time with Orbea representatives in Spain and the Pacific Northwest.
We’re very excited to put more trail time in on this full powered Enduro eMTB to really figure out where it shines and where it fails, and to see how the long haul affects its quiet running. We’re also excited to spend more time on the Bosch Race motor, as it definitely has a learning curve that we weren’t quite able to dial in over such a short ride time. The Over Run of power delivery is notable and while it can absolutely be useful, we foresee some crashes and mishaps when the mode is being used in certain types of trail conditions. For that you’ll have to stay tuned for the long-term review, but we’re quite confident to say that this is one of the best all round eMTB’s on the market right now and we can’t wait to put it to task in our 5th Annual eMTB Shootout, coming soon!

Great video. Really enjoy when we are able to hear from the design teams on their intent, and why they made their decisions along the way.
-
Looks like a winner. Looking forward to the long term review.

I'm 5ft and have a 2020 H20...with a few adjustments, I've made it fit me. I LOVE 29ers! I love the internal battery for 2023. I never take my battery out anyway. Mine is still going strong so I'll just save $$ to get something in a few years.
-
I was set on getting the Rise and was planning how to slacken and add travel, but as soon as this launched it basically did everything I was planning. Definitely worth a few pounds.
-
Really considering this, just picked up a fs Occam carbon, and thing is a SHREDDER. I can just imagine how good this WILD will be! looking at this at the shop soon!
-
Good video, been waiting for this since the teaser shots on instagram
-
My 2022 is a beast 👍🏼
-
Can't wait to buy one ! thx for the review
-
Can't wait for more time on this thing.
-
Awesome bike! You guys should also consider for your next shootout that Unno Mith, same travel, mullet, and with a 750 battery at 49.6 pounds. Seen it in flesh, the design and the quality are out of this world. Waiting for your proper review on the Orbea!

This was a fun one! That bike is killer
-
Awesome!! 🤘
-
Great video, the bike looks very impressive 👌can you tell me what colour and finish is the blue ?? It really does look nice 👍👍cheers
-
Hello, thanks for the video. What size do you recommend for a height of 1.77 cm M or L?
-
Which one would you recommend more the new Orbea Wild or the 2022 Scott Ransom E-ride?
-
Hey Drew and Robert, any thoughts on how the new Wild rides compared to the Gen 3 Turbo Levo? I've had an S-Works Turbo Levo for a year and am intrigued by the lower weight and full-29er aspect of the Wild. Help me decide if I should swap my TL for the Wild! Thanks much guys. 🙂
-
I'm bike poor at the moment and not in the market for anything new in 2023, but I really dig the Orbea lineup.
-
Currently have a trek rail. Very interested to learn how much lighter the aluminum and carbon models really are. Seems like a great contender!
-
Hello, i ordered my wild on 18/03, still waiting... Is this normal for Orbea? Should i start looking for another bike? Just mad the best of a summer without a new bike... hope that i can rode it by next year!
-
Nice intro review Drew and crew! How did the Wild feel at Syncline compared to the SC Bullit? Similar feel or Wild more nimble in the rocks up and down?
