Orbea Rise M20 29er Mountain Bike 2022

RIDER SYNERGY

Rider Synergy Concept: A new riding experience that enhances the joy of traditional trail
riding with smooth support that feels as natural and alive as your own body. RS is a new
philosophy – a completely integrated system that becomes a reality when Power, Range,
Interface and Weight are considered together.

Rise brings you nearer the sensation that less “e” delivers more “bike”. Whether you crave
riding greater distances, reaching more epic locations, improving efficiency or increasing the
frequency of your adventures, Rise beyond expectations and discover the new standard in
MTB.

RS POWER

The idea of creating our own power plant for Rise was daunting, but we believed that this
would be the only way to realize our goal of a complete RS system for trail bikes.
We had been looking for the best way to achieve this for a long time, so when Shimano
shared the plans for their new EP8 motor, we quickly realized that this awesome drive unit
offered us the perfect platform on which to build the RS Power concept.

Working jointly, Orbea set out to develop proprietary electronics and batteries while Shimano
created and delivered an exclusive motor configured to our own RS specifications.
Power is only as useful as the manner in which it is applied. The EP8 RS power band
feels alive, smooth and responsive, echoing your input and cadence.
Max Torque: 60nm
Max Speed: 25km/h (20mph in USA)

RS RANGE

Rise is intended for big rides. With two battery options Rise has enough fuel for the
longest days, it utilizes a very light and compact 360Wh main battery with an optional,
patent-pending 252Wh range extender.

The RS concept provides a great day on the trails because the lighter bike, lower power
consumption and of course, the pedal-friendly weight and assistance extends battery life
by a factor of over 1.5x. This means the 360Wh RS Battery of Rise delivers ride times
and ranges similar to a 540Wh battery in a typical eBike. 3-4 hour ride time.
Adding the RS Range Extender gives ride times comparable to a 900Wh battery on a regular ebike. That’s 8 hours and over 4,000m of climbing in Eco mode.

RS INTERFACE

The elegance of simplicity is undeniable. Many riders spend hours removing excess weight,
noise and visual distractions from their bikes. We have embraced data collection with cycling
computers and smartphones but often stop short of attaching large displays on our
handlebars or top tubes.

With a traditional ebike, displays, sensors, extra wires and large glowing buttons are
standard and unavoidable. For us, the option of a traditional, uncluttered machine is a critical
aspect of the RS philosophy.
The RS Interface is sleek, but doesn’t lack expandability. The simplest configuration consists
of a discreet rocker switch near the left brake lever to control assistance level and a small,
inline junction box with two tiny LEDs that provides support mode info and smartly
broadcasts wireless data.

RS WEIGHT

The RS Motor, Battery and Electronics are lighter than other eBike systems by over half,
Rise can weight as little as 16 kg or 36lbs.
