All New Orbea Wild. How Different is it? - Dissected #emtb #ride #mtb
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.

THE WOLF'S FIRST IMPRESSION
The Wild packs all of the good traits of the Rallon enduro bike but avoids the slightly harsh feeling that some of our testers noted in our Enduro Bike Shootout. The weight distribution and balanced geometry; supportive but not harsh suspension platform, and fine stiffness balance let you charge as hard as the best of them. As we hop from acoustic bikes to eMTB’s and back so often, there’s usually an adjustment period to get used to the slightly different approach to riding a motor-equipped MTB, but the Wild’s trail mannerisms sit as close to the non-powered siblings as we’ve yet to experience in a full-power eMTB on the downhills.
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!
