Not a single issue with my Rise and it was one of the first batch arriving here in the USA. Given the fact that it still contends with the new SL, Fuel Ex, etc, the most should be happy. If you look, every, and I mean EVERY SL and Full power bikes will have it's issues. Don't need to go too far to find LEVO blown motors. Fuel Issues with battery, SL whine and groan, etc and more. Just know, battery bikes need love, enough said! No regrets.

My feelings about the Levo sl as well. Downey would be better suited for the Rise with some big rotors and some riser bars. But in reality Downey is much better suited for the Kenevo SL or Santa Cruz Bullit.

Think Vital did a great job of reviewing this bike. I've had the mM10 for over 3 months now, still getting it dialed in and loving it. I would say that this bike is the sweet spot for traditional riders who are looking for a tool to compliment their analog bike. In my case I still love my sb130! I was looking to find a bike for longer rides with other emtb's and epic solo rides. Who can complain when you can bang out a killer 1 hour ride after work in the winter before it gets dark. One thing...

Orbea launched the new Rise e-bike last October and we were on hand for our First Ride review. In short, we were impressed. It took some time but a long-term test bike showed up. We've been putting the Orbea Rise M-Team through the paces and are ready to share our final conclusions on this game-changing eMTB.
