Our Verdict: Rated 4.7/5
Orbea Rise M10 from Orbea is a trail e-mountain bike with a OMR Carbon frame, powered by the Shimano EP801-RS (85Nm tuned). Light carbon e-MTB. Key strengths are light weight, Shimano motor and carbon frame.
Specification summary: Orbea Internal 540Wh battery with a quoted range of up to 80 km, Fox 36 Performance 140mm suspension, 29-inch wheels, Shimano XT 12-Speed, Shimano XT 4-Piston brakes, weight 18.0 kg, price £5,601. At £5,601 it is in line with the typical e-bike price in the database, and at 18.0 kg it is about 22 percent below the typical e-bike weight in the database. The battery works out to roughly 30 Wh per kilogram of bike weight. Trail bikes balance climbing efficiency and descending capability, with moderate-slack geometry and travel that suits most terrain.
A full-power motor in the 85Nm class delivers strong assistance on steep, technical climbs at the cost of weight and battery consumption. Carbon frames offer a favourable stiffness-to-weight balance and can be tuned for compliance, though impact damage can be costly to repair. The 29-inch wheels roll over obstacles efficiently and carry momentum on rough ground. The Shimano 12-speed drivetrain is known for smooth shifts and a wide range of gearing options. Four-piston brakes provide stronger, more consistent stopping power for long descents. Range figures are manufacturer estimates; terrain, rider weight, assist mode and temperature can change real-world distance considerably.
Verdict: Orbea Rise M10 scores strongly in this database with a 4.7 rating. It suits riders wanting a light e-MTB. Main caveat: short range.
How We Rate
How we rate
Every rating on Gear Matrix is published alongside the information it is based on, so you can judge the score for yourself rather than take it on trust.
Gear Matrix ratings are editorial assessments built from published manufacturer specifications and comparative specification data. They are not presented as the result of physical product testing. Where an article is based on a first look, a launch announcement or a press release, the article says so.
Weight-to-power on e-MTBs
Where a weight-to-power ratio is shown it is calculated from two manufacturer-declared figures: the bike’s weight in kilograms and the motor’s declared output. Both inputs are required before any ratio is displayed. We never estimate a missing value, and we never infer a figure from a different model in the range.
The full breakdown of rating criteria is being prepared and will be published on this page.
