The prologue was made by Specialized with the Turbo Levo SL, now Orbea is following suit. The Orbea Rise is not taking part in the arms race for the biggest battery or the most powerful motor. On board is the new Shimano EP8 unit, which reduces the torque from 85 to 60 Newton meters in the "RS" version by means of individual firmware. This pays off with more range and, in order to convert this advantage into less weight, the battery permanently installed in the down tube has a capacity of 350 Wh. With a range extender of 252 watt hours, this results in a total of 602 Wh, which should ensure numerous kilometers and meters of altitude.

In order to achieve a weight of around 16.5 kilograms in the top version, the Orbea engineers have really reached into their bag of tricks. The carbon frame weighs around 2,300 grams (without shock) and the weight optimization goes into every detail. For example, with an aluminum motor drive chainring from E-Thirteen with 32 teeth. An interesting mix of lightweight and good grip is the Maxxis Exo+ R Rekon Maxx Terra tire, which is not available in this Exo+ version anywhere else but at Orbea.

The Orbea Rise, which relies on 140 millimeter travel and 29er wheels, is available in four versions. The Rise M-Team, Rise M10 and Rise M20 variants are integrated into the MyO program, which allows individual configuration down to the last detail.
