YOU ASKED... Orbea RISE impressions!

The new Orbea Rise is one of the first of the new generation of eMTBs that prioritize weight over raw power and travel. Learn more about the Rise here at Jenson USA, where anything you purchase will help support my efforts: https://bit.ly/OrbeaRiseJKW2022 I have also spent significant time aboard the Rise’s acoustic/analog/bicycle cousin, the Orbea Occam. Here’s my initial review of the current Occam LT:    • The Mystery of the 2022 Orbea Occam LT   And YES, I actually do prefer the feel of the Rise over the Occam! Why?! Well, the chainstays on the Rise are 5mm longer- which helps give it just a tad more wheelbase. Still plenty short for easy manuals, too! Furthermore, compared to the Occam, the Rise has a much more beefy carbon layup, to compensate for the weight and power of the Shimano EP8 motor and battery. On the trail, this means a much more solid and predictable bike, especially noticeable during aggressive riding. And yes, the Rise is a 150mm travel bike, just like the Occam LT, as it uses the same 150mm 36 stanchion fork and longer 210x55 rear shock.
