Orbea Urrun Review 4k
Переглядів 17 тис.Рік тому
Back at it with a bike that's a bit out of the norm for us. We’ve got the Orbea Urrun. It's a hardtail, and it’s an eMTB. It rocks the lighter weight, lower power Shimano EP8 RS and a decent-sized 540Wh battery. All-in-all, it’s designed to go far. In fact, Urrun in the Basque language means far. So today, we’re trying to go far. We’re going to kill a battery while talking about who this bike i...

Late to this but does anyone know if there is a 160e refresh coming in 2025?
How’s the value now? They have them at 35% off!
I still think it’s a great bike. The sale obviously only helps the value.
I got an okay price at my local dealer for the Giant Stance E+ 1 Pro. Is this an okay e-bike then 😅🤔🤷🏼♂️
As long as you go into it knowing what you’re getting. It’s not what I’d call a serious MTB for the enthusiast. For a casual rider it’s great. The “e” parts of it are really well done.
Yeah... gotta say - for that much money you can buy a ktm 300 or even a 500 exc... do a test between those and the yeti for off roading...HA HA HA...
No brainer for 3700? My rides are typically 25 miles, think I need the upgraded battery?
Vertical gain is usually more of the limiting factor than mileage. What kind of vert are you doing on a ride?
@@BikersEdgeKaysville I think around 1 to 2k ft
Depending on your weight you’d probably be ok with the standard smaller battery size.
@@BikersEdgeKaysville awesome, 170
I hear everyone mentioning the power turnoff imidiately when you stop pedaling but is it an big deal? Like is it an signifial down side comparing to other bikes?
What is the actual weight?
I was a trailquest rider in the era of 26" wheels, now a roadie using my Roubaix on forestry roads, so this could be the bike that gets me back onto fat tyres as I enter my 70s. I live in the Highlands of Scotland and we do have plenty of big rides on forestry, shooting and water board tracks.
@Bikers Edge: Fantastic review. Instinct Powerplay A50 ordered! Where was this filmed? Awesome trails!
Thanks! American Fork.
Are you off air? I haven't seen content from you in a while and I enjoyed your videos. What's up?
Nope. We just moved everything back to the main Bikers Edge channel. Still posting regularly over there.
pretty outdated geometry :/ even when it was released, it was already outdated :/
Not sure outdated is the correct word. Just not extreme. More conservative.
I love my Urrun. It's a great bike for exploring new ground, unmarked forest trails, general country riding. I've taken it on 45 mile rough coastal tracks which I wouldn't contemplate doing on my Orbea Occam or gravel bike, im also 52 not 22 with quite a few old niggling injuries. I'm about to pull the trigger on a range extender, expensive yes, but I'm planning on doing some longer road trips whenever the Irish weather decides to play nice for a change
What model and year of the Urrun also colour version do you have?
The head angle actually goes down to 63.5 in the position 1 setting
Looking at this bike or the Trance X E+ 2022. Both very similar price. Which would you prefer?
Depends on where and how you like to ride bikes. This rides way bigger than the Trance.
@@BikersEdgeKaysville After more of an all rounder, some bike tracks, jump tracks, some downhill & also using it to bike to work. I have not had a new MTB for 20 years, so I can’t figure out differences….
It’s right in my budget range but the bunny part you’ve said kinda sucks. Maybe it’s your size ? I’m 1.84m weighing 84kg, will I be able to bunny? ( I used to bunny easily with Merida eone sixty 2019)
It’s not really a size/weight thing. It’s a bike weight, geometry suspension thing.
Rocky Mountain as a...value e-bike? Must be this, as most of, UA-cam bike reviews are for the shameful wealthy. How 'bout actual value e-bikes with Bafang and Panasonic motors? I purchased a Bafang M510 motor with a 800watt LG battery, outperforms motors by Shimano, Dyname, Bosch, Brose, and Yamaha. But to you guys, and viewers, any e-bike below $3 grand, is just not worth it.
Good video . How is the sitting position? Is it also suitable for longer journeys?
Chose a Stance e+ pro. Only cuz I live in Texas. Not any mountains, casual terrain for the budget. Still 100 times better then my old giant hardtail
Can get the reign e+2 2022 now for £3600 they was £5500 new!! 2k off for a 1 year old bike. Shows how over priced bikes are. 3500 is what they should be worth brand new. Cant wait to pick mine up. That deep red is a lovely colour
Where did you find that price
Hello man, and do you think that Yeti will come out with a new model in 2025?
I just asked the same question...did you find any info?
Great videos, you should keep making them.
Rocky is blowing these bikes out with steep discounts right now. $2900 off in Canada which makes it $5400CAD or $4000USD. I'm buying one. Been watching bikes for a bit and this bike for the current price is a no brainer.
I’m doing exactly the same!
Just wondering how it compares to the heckler 29er, or even the MX heckler? I feel I’ll buy one of the 3 but not sure which one
Would you take this over a heckler sl?
Check out our lightweight ebike showdown on the main channel for the answer.
Very good Review 👍🏻
Brilliant review in fact the best review ive seen of any bike. Some questions, if I removed the fork to reduce weight and fitted skinnier tyres basically for doing small distance touring with light off road would this make the motor slower with less weight since the front chainring is small ?
should I get this or reign e+? fairly new to emtb
Great review, have you ridden the Trek Fuel Exe 9.5? it would be good to know how they compare.
This and other videos make me feel good about my purchase of the Reign E+3 at $5,400 CDN . Can’t wait to pick it up next week
great review! did you experience rattle noise similar to what the rise is famous for?
The EP801 is way quieter than the OG EP8
Seems this channel is not active anymore? Too bad, good reviews. Only found it now...
We’ve moved all the ebike content back to the main channel. You can find it all on Bikers Edge.
What power mode were you climbing in?
Well done man, thank you.
I'm showing an EP6 on Orbea's site. Confused as you state an EP8
i got the H10 and its been sick, seriously good looking bike in person
Superb advice & agree with you both 💯.... I've just ordered a Reign e+1 & my daughter is going to be using my Orbea Rise! 😊
How you going on the bike ?
What model? Did you say?
How reasonable is it to ride this unpowered? I know 43 pounds is on the heavy side for a mountain bike, but does it feel reasonable, or is it just an unpleasant pig when unpowered? Close to pulling the trigger to buy.
I tested a Urrun 40 the other day and I would say it's quite ok to ride it with the motor off, especially if it's flat.
Just picked one up on the used market, nice bike!
Any updates on firmware to help fix automatic mode?
Awesome review. I bought 4 bikes from Biker's Edge over the last 5 years, great place, great service, great people!
great review - no bs - straight to the point and down to earth - great blog too! thanks!!
Indeed thankyouuu
I got the reign E 2 it's a missile. Traction is amazing. My all-rounder. Just swapping to 155 cranks
Would you go for the altitude over the instinct because of the travel or is that just "overbiking", and not really necessary for most trials?
Great review on your 2023 Orbea Rise! My Rise H10 20MPH - 540Wh was a game changer. Question, my motor are Shimano EP8-RS, can I upgrade the new motor to EP801?
I think you can, from what I've read it has the same mount
You know Diet Coke is bad for you ? If your out riding the sugar of regular coke gets used
Thanks doc but I prefer not to drink my calories.
You guys make great videos. I see you haven't posted in a while but just wanted to say very clear, concise, and helpful.
Thanks Justin. We’ve been posting everything back on the main channel. Both pedal and e-bikes in one place.
@@BikersEdgeKaysville Oh! Ok will subscribe there. Thanks for letting me know.
Can you mullet this bike?
I’ve heard of people doing it with bearings and links, but no not really - Not without too many compromises.
nice bike, but non-removable battery easily disqualifies it for me and a lot of my friends... :( meanwhile Levo FTW !
good job, would like to know what is your feeling with the orbea wild compare to the repeater. sinse the repeater is kind of the new dog in the park i would like to know how it compares to the best bikes...... Yeah you can hear that engine ratel. good video got new follower
