Description
The new Orbea Rise SL and Rise LT both get the same full carbon frame and Shimano EP810 motor, but they have different amounts of suspension travel.
On the rear, the Rise SL gets an inline 50mm stroke Fox Float shock and carbon shock extender, without a flip chip, that delivers 140mm travel. And it’s matched with a lighter 140mm travel Fox 36 SL fork.
Switch to the Rise LT and rear travel increases to 150mm, with a 55mm stroke Fox Float X shock and an alloy shock extender with a flip chip for two geometry settings. Fork travel also increases to 160mm with the stock Fox 36 fork.
The different suspension components account for most of the weight difference between the bikes. And the claimed weight on the Rise SL is 17kg, while the Rise LT creeps up to 18kg. Both with the smaller 420Wh interval battery.
