Orbea Continues to Evolve the Wild - Lightweight, Full Power eMTB 4

Orbea have been developing the new Wild in the EDR as well as in the DH World Cup, where Martin Maes has been competing under the OOlab project. This is Orbea's research division, responsible for development and learning and which forms a link between Orbea's in-house laboratories and real world riding. Orbea tells us that on the DH tracks, the speeds and forces are greater, and what they have learned here has helped improve Wild's already great suspension performance.

UPDATED GEOMETRY | 63.5 Head Angle, and Mullet Options

Another development that comes from feedback from the racers is the updated geometry. The head-angle has been relaxed 0.5o, the only tweak that was necessary to give even more confidence at high speed.

Whether you want maximum speed with 29 " or to focus on fun with 27", Wild has you covered. Two shock linkages allow you to change the rear wheel size without affecting the geometry. The option of a 27” rear wheel works brilliantly with Orbea's Steep’n’Deep design, which has one of the longest seat-post insertion depths on the market. The combination of being able to drop the saddle so low, with the smaller rear wheel, gives lots of space to move over the bike.

DRIVE AND BATTERY | New Bosch Cx Performance And 600Wh Battery Options

BOSCH's 85 Nm motor needs no introduction, with endless power and controlled responses. The updated motor gives more precise control, is quieter and lighter, and offers less pedal resistance.

Two battery options allow you to set up your Wild for how you like to ride. Choose the 600Wh battery for the lightest Wild possible or if you regularly enjoy full day rides then choose the 750Wh battery. Simply add the 250Wh Range Extender for those occasional extra-long rides.

BUILD OPTIONS | Ready for Action

Wild is one of the lightest truly full-power e-bikes but we have not compromised anything to reach that weight. That means Fox Factory shocks and Fox 38 forks. It also means Maxxis double-down rear tyres and EXO+ front tyres, with options to choose DH casing via Orbea's MyO configurator. There are two OQUO wheel options. The MC32-LTD carbon wheel gives the lightest ride for smoother riders. Or the new MC32-Team wheel uses an updated rim, designed to stand up to DH World Cup runs and suitable for the most aggressive riders.

THE WILD FAMILY GROWS | Wild ST

Not everybody needs a bike which is as aggressive and capable as Wild, and Orbea acknowledges that with the new Wild ST. Wild ST shares many of Wild's award-winning features, in a more trail-orientated package. That means the same award winning frame design, the same new Bosch Perf CX motor and the same choice of 600Wh or 750Wh batteries. The differences are:

Wild ST is only available in Orbea's High Polish Aluminium. This is an advanced alloy frame, with polished welds which makes it very hard to tell that it is not made from carbon. This isn’t just aesthetically pleasing though, it also removes stress points and gives a stronger, more reliable frame.

• 150mm of travel front and rear.
• Trail-focussed geometry.The less aggressive geometry makes WILD ST easier to ride for less experienced, or less aggressive, riders.
• 29” wheels only, to maximize stability and grip.

Customize your new WILD

One feature that makes Orbea stand out from other brands is their personalisation program that lets you customise your bike before delivery. And the new Wild is no exception. Orbea have continued to raise the bar. As well as the usual upgrades, ergonomic components and new colours and finishes, they also offer the opportunity to customise the wheels made by OQUO.

The new Wild is available in 6 models, 4 in Carbon and 2 in High Polish Alloy. The Wild ST is available in 2 models, both in High Polish Alloy. The new Wild comes in 3 new colors as well as the full choice of MyO colors on carbon models.
