Orbea Wild H20 Full Suspension Electric Mountain Bike 2023
We could tell you how Wild has the most powerful motor or battery capacity on the market. But we aren’t going to. Wild takes us beyond such trivialities and into a world beyond power, where the ride is paramount, where the trails are endless and full of flow. Leave heavy, numb e-bikes behind and free your Wild.
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. MAXIMUM FUN
Wild tames the wildest trails but always feels alive, energetic, and involving rather than the detached, numb ride of many e-bikes. Wild is first and foremost a fantastic enduro bike, and the frame rigidity, lighter weight, supportive suspension, and e-evolved geometry reflect that, putting you in complete control of the ride.
LIGHT. LIGHTER. LIGHTEST.
The best materials, the cleverest designs and key technologies such as Orbea’s SBS design mean that Wild is one the lightest full power ebikes. All things being equal lighter means higher performance, giving more range and better handling.
PERFORMANCE THROUGH SIMPLICITY
Performance through simplicity means removing anything unnecessary and adding only what directly enhances the ride. Thanks to technologies which prioritise simplicity, such as SBS and the Clean Cockpit, Wilds’s frame is strikingly svelte and simple, with clean lines which mean you could almost overlook that this is an ebike.
NO LIMITS, JUST GO WILD
Fully powered and ready to rumble, Wild is all about maximum fun on the craziest climbs and wildest descents. The combination of the latest Bosch motors and a 750Wh battery offers incredible range and power and on the descents Wild handles less like a ponderous e-bike and more like your favourite enduro rig.
SBS (SECURE BATTERY SYSTEM): FOCUS ON PERFORMANCE
Removing the battery for charging can sometimes be convinient, however it requires many structural compromises. Extra mounting hardware adds weight and complexity, and opening access to the battery either requires large holes in the frame or compromised downtube structures which add material, flex or raise the CoG Less structurally significant, but frustrating, can be rattling covers.
29ER TRACTION WITH OPTIMIZED CHAINSTAYS
Integrating e-bike motors often causes an undesirable increase in chainstay length, resulting in less than natural handling. Often manufacturers use 27,5″ wheels to help minimize this effect, even if this compromises the rear-wheel traction, which is critical for powerful e-bikes.
Wild’s optimized 448mm chainstays give the most natural handling while the 29″ rear-wheel provides the traction needed to transfer all that power to the dirt.
E-OPTIMIZED GEOMETRY
Wild is above all a fantastically capable enduro bike and as such largely shares the Evolved Geometry you can find on the Rallon.
- EVOLVED GEOMETRY – Longer and slacker than ever, with low standover and a shorter, straighter seat tube to work with longer dropper posts.
- SHORT SEAT TUBE – Short seat tubes and long dropper posts give choice on frame sizing. Choose your preferred reach rather than sizing for standover.
- LONGER, LOWER AND SLACKER – Great stability, with natural cornering and confidence at speed.
- STEEP SEAT ANGLE – Proper Pedaling Position
- E-BIKE TUNED BB DROP – Bottom bracket height and crank length for performance on technical climbs.
E-OPTIMIZED KINEMATICS
E-bike suspension is complex, we need maximum traction to manage the extra power, but we also need to cope with the inevitable big hits which come with higher speeds and weight. The magic happens in the middle part of the travel though, where bikes spend 90% of their time, here a carefully tuned suspension can make a bike come alive, adding all the fun back into the ride. The suspension action is a big part of why WILD feels so natural and agile, putting you in control and involving you in the ride.
