This Bike Might Change the Way You Look at E-bikes: Orbea Rise V1 Long-term Review!

We get a lot of questions about e-bikes, especially the Orbea Rise, so we figured we’d throw up a quick long-term review of one from one of the employees here at Jenson, Alex. Alex lives up in the mountains here in Southern California and has to do a fair bit of climbing and pedaling around at his local trail system to get to trails. Because he is in such high elevation, oxygen levels are different and make it a bit more difficult to breathe. This alone made it hard for him to enjoy long rides, especially when temperatures drop and snow season arrives.

The Orbea Occam SL

Brand new for 2024, Orbea has released a new, trail-focused version of the Occam; the Occam SL. With 140 millimeters of travel front and rear, the choice between a lightweight carbon frame or slightly heavier alloy frame, asymmetric frame design to maintain lower weight, internal frame storage, optional frame protection, front and rear suspension lockout, headset cable routing, an integrated chain guide and many other unique features, this is one of the best bikes we've ridden this year and is one of the best all-around trail bikes on the market right now.
