All New 2021 Orbea Rise - 16kg Lightweight Ebike! | EMBN'S First Look

i spent good couple hours on this absolutely amazing bike ...rides and feels like a normal bike just with the pleasure of scooting back to the top on a long route around ....have some on order straight away and can't wait

This is why ebikes are the future. As weights and prices go down, we'll eventually hit a point where having a motor assist option is just another thing you may or may not add onto a bike. Just like derailleurs, I guess.

I've had mine on order ever since a hint of this bike coming out. Its in the stock color on the video, which is one of the three stock color combos for the RISE M-LTD 20mph. Fingers crossed for end of November. My good friend owns a bike shop and has allowed me to ride an INTENSE TAZER demo, for more than a month now. This was the bike I had already ordered, but always felt it was overkill for my needs. Having ridden the TAZER as long as I have, everyday!,, which is a powerful, DH oriented, fairly nimble in twisty single-track, and on the heavy side ebike, will give me the ability to write up a good review and opinion of my new RISE. I will tell you why I chose the RISE in a moment. One important topic I would like to mention concerns the comments from ebike haters. First of all,,, don't frown on this type of ebike until you ride one with a group of your skilled and fast MTB buds. Even though assisted by the motor, the bike will still make you work when riding good trails. And when your buds on their light weight regular bikes hit a longer flat or slightly downgrade stretch are zooming up to maybe 30MPH,,, you will have to really work hard to keep up. Better hope a steep climb is near , so you can catch up. That's the really fun part. The ebike will also allow you to feel fresher at the end of the ride. Fresh enough to do another lap after your friends have gone home, or have a epic ride, on the very next day. You will ride more,, because it's fun. Isn't that what its all about anyway? I am 64 years old, and raced the TEXAS NORBA series and was on the Team that is the only consecutive 4 time winners of Rocky Hill Ranch's 24 hour race in the masters catagory. My regular bike (Scott Spark), is a light weight work of art that weighs in under 19lbs. I definitely will keep it because it will have its place when the ebike is not necessary. I got two types of cancer at age 57. A tumor in my neck the size of a golf-ball, and lower tongue carcinoma. The Chemo tackled the tumor just fine within 9 weeks, (not fun). Then daily radiation for 7 weeks, on tongue cancer, which was at the muscular base of the tongue, deep down in my neck,,, it left me with a pencil thin esophagus, and a very narrowed tracheal air intake. Now! A testament for the ebike,,,,,. I have tried so hard to come back from all this. My friends however,, continued training, racing, and riding, while for 2 years I was down on my back or sitting up in bed completing every Netflix series there is. Also with a feeding tube as my only way to eat, because my throat was basically useless at this stage of recovery. My come back has been difficult. My friends have not slowed down. And with my (shop owner) friend's son hitting 21 years of age, and becoming a really, really good, fast rider,,,, it has upped the pace of all the rides we do. I do not enjoy being that last guy that rejoins the group, when they have gotten ahead, and are now waiting, for me to catch back up. After a minute or so of breathing like Darth Vader after a mile sprint, they will take off again. The ebike has given me my pre cancer legs and lungs. Sometimes I'm even in front setting the pace for training. Having fun!!!!!! Isn't this the point of mountain biking anyway??? Lastly, I chose the RISE because my friend knows about everything concerning bikes, and my needs. He sold me on the RISE by telling me that he is 100% sure that this is the ebike for me. When ORBEA finally released it on their website, and along with all the YouTube Vids,,, I know it will be the right choice.

I'm all about the range over power, speed and weight. Good to see eMTB's coming out that I can get it all. Evolution!

Wow thats a good looking bike!

Really great looking bike. It is the kind of ebike that I will be considering when come time to change my current bike (non ebike). The subtle boost is what speaks to me. I assume that the trail riding is more likely to be similar to the non ebike feel.

There are two things stopping me from getting an ebike. One weight and two weight. This is starting to make me get interested now!

Nice and lovely bike. 2 emtb family definitely. We will have a new bikers war soon: regular bike vs heavy emtb vs light. 😂😂😂

In one word: Awesome!

I could see a difference in handling watching Steve ride. I guess I watch a lot of EMBN!

AMAZING job guys! Best Mountain Bike channel on earth!

This is THE BEST, most comprehensive review EVER. of this bike the Orbea… “M10. I am committing to the slightly lower spec …M20 as I won’t wait three months to get my first e-MTB …👍 🇪🇸

Just put deposit down on the M10, been looking for a lighter bike with more power than the Levo SL. Think this is the way forward.... excited!

My first gen Powerfly 5 at just over 50 lbs is envious of how lean this bike is. As am I.

I’ m falling in love to this bike. I dreams with ride a Orbea Rise. Best regards from Spain

I quite like your videos, but in I would have liked that there was no music or that you did not talk when testing was in low engine to check the "famous" rattling that comes standard the new EP8

I'm seriously considering getting divorced to get this beautiful and super capable bike! 😮😮

I wanted to ask a specific question about the stiffness of the frame ... is it not based on the rear damper?

As a e7000 motor owner, I wonder how it performs against it. Is it the same support and assistance? Both are shimano's and 60Nm which will be interesting to compare.

I think all I can say is WOW! Plus it's a spanking great looking bike! How does it compare to the Turbo Levo SL?
