Orbea Rise M-Team E-Mountain Bike 2021

Trail

Trail bikes are the quintessential “mountain bikes.” If you’re heading into the woods expecting to do it all on two wheels – climbing, technical sections, AND fun descents – you’re looking for a trail bike.

Enduro

If you’re looking for maximum performance while flying down heavier trails, an enduro bike is for you. These bikes combine ample suspension travel (typically 150mm+) with descent-focused frame geometry and components that allow for reasonably efficient pedaling.

Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

Carbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option.

With a maximum torque output of 60Nm, this lighter-weight version of Shimano's excellent EP8 motor is nearly half the weight of other ebike motors. Its power band feels alive, smooth and responsive, echoing your input and cadence. It's customizable through Shimano's E-tube mobile app as well, so you tune your bike to best fit your rides.

The XTR M9100 series of derailleurs brings a new level of drivetrain silence thank to decreased tension in the low gear position and an added bumper on the pulley cage. Larger 13T pulleys increase efficiency and chain management while compatibility with Shimano's 12-speed cassette boosts range.

World Cup proven for years, the Q Factor, overall profile, and volume of e*thirteen's Race Carbon cranks has been greatly reduced, while strength and fatigue life have been dramatically improved. What wizardry is this? The engineers won't say, but the graphs and race results don't lie!

27 years of development and we’re right back to where it all started, introducing the ultimate MTB race components. Designed to meet the highest level competitive mountain bike racing needs with a second to none performance and experience. The XTR M9100 Series brings the most versatile groupset for XC, enduro and marathon racing.

Designed for Shimano's revolutionary XTR M9100 12-speed MTB groupset, the M9100 chain provides enhanced chain retention thanks to an extended portion of the inner plate. The chain features quick-link assembly and SIL-TEC treatment for extended offroad durability.

Shimano's XTR Trail lever pairs with the new 4-piston Trail caliper offering Rider Tuned stopping power for the ever more capable breed of modern mountain bikes. With tool-free reach adjust and Shimano's new I-spec EV standard, the M9120 lever continues to set the standard for mountain bike brakes.

The Fox Transfer seatpost is lighter and tighter than ever before. Less weight, reduced length and decreased insertion depth means a better fit on more frames. Improved durability and easier serviceability means more riding and less downtime. Transfer is ready to tackle the nastiest terrain.

“Factory” says it all. The best-of-the-best technology Fox has to offer is available in their Factory Series models with a buttery smooth, ultra durable Genuine Kashima Coat. Fox's Factory products are World Cup proven.

A stiff and durable 6069 welded Alloy rim with a 30mm inner width makes these lightweight, burly wheels just what your enduro build is begging for.

Designed in conjunction with Aussie DH racer Troy Brosnan, the Dissector seeks to minimize drag while retaining cornering control. This versatile tire can be used as a front, a pair, or as a rear depending on trail conditions.

• EXO: A cut and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls.

The Rekon is a light duty trail tire designed to go fast in technical terrain.
