Lightweight e-MTB's have only been a thing since 2020 but since then the category has exploded, with all the best e-MTB brands now offering their take on the lightweight e-MTB including Orbea's Rise. Orbea has now released the fourth version of the Rise, which now comes with a revised frame, SL and LT versions, and the second-generation Shimano EP801 RS motor.
When the first Rise was released in 2020, there weren't as many lightweight e-MTB motors available to manufacturers. Orbea's solution was to work with Shimano to develop an RS (Rider Synergy) tune on the Shimano motor.
