Orbea has unveiled the new Wild TR, with the 150mm full-power electric mountain bike replacing the Wild ST in its line-up.
Unlike the recently released Orbea Wild LT, which uses the hugely powerful Avinox M2S motor, the Wild TR is powered by Bosch’s Performance Line CX motor, which delivers up to 120Nm of torque and 750W of peak power.
There’s the choice of 600Wh or 750Wh batteries, and the bike is compatible with Bosch's 250Wh PowerMore Range Extender for a combined maximum total of 1,000Wh.
Orbea says it has designed the Wild TR to be “composed, predictable and confidence-inspiring on every trail”.
Orbea claims to have achieved this by using a combination of a 64.5-degree head angle with a steep 78-degree seat tube angle, creating what it says is a balanced riding position that performs equally well on technical climbs and demanding descents.
The bike starts at £4,399 / $5,512 / €4,999 for the alloy-framed Wild TR H20, with the top-spec carbon Wild TR M-Team topping the range at £8,799 / $11,024 / €9,999, featuring Fox Factory suspension and Shimano XTR Di2.
The frame has a lot in common with the previous bike, with the shock placement and cross-membered front triangle very similar.
Orbea’s Steep and Deep philosophy continues with the seat tube. The uninterrupted tube enables you to run long-travel dropper posts, whatever size bike you ride, giving you more room to manoeuvre the bike.
Fully guided internal cable routing is used to reduce noise, although cables run through the headset.
Sealed bearings and integrated frame protection also feature, so you should be able to throw some abuse at the new Wild.
The brand says it has tuned the Wild TR’s suspension for trail riding, with the result “support and control across a wide range of terrain”.
The bike is available for customisation through Orbea’s MyO program, which enables you to pick colours and decals, and make spec changes.
