We were lucky to sneak preview a new Orbea Wild FS 2020 and we were really impressed by the attention to details and the immediate feeling.
Different situations and different riders, but the Orbea Wild gave immediately good feelings... a lightning strike.
Four different models available, with a range of price starting from 5.999€.
All Orbea models are customizable: just click on MyO to choose different color combinations and change components according to your needs.

LOOK
The new Orbea Wild FS 2020 has an aggressive and modern look with a refined design.
The Wild FS already has the new Bosh Performance CX Cruise that is well integrated with the frame and does not create the usual visual impression.
The Shimano XT group makes it precise and beautiful to look at and with Fox 36 float Factory 160 grip 2 fork and Fox float X2 Factory trunnion 2-position adjust shock immediately make you understand the spirit of the Wild.
The display support has been studied by Orbea and allows three different positions.
The steerer tube has the Blocklock to stop the fork before impacting against the chassis during a fall.
Orbea also solves“ Where do I put the key?” In the steerer tube there’s a key compartment that allows us to carry it with us.
UPHILL
The new Bosh Performance CX Cruise is easily adjustable: it is a very progressive and precise drive unit.
Finally it is possible to manage in an easy way the mix between power of the pedal and help-engine.
For example, in situations without grip on wet leaves the wheel does not speed off.
DOWN THE HILL
Saddle down, open the shocks, you’re ready to fly.
The weight motor-battery disappear, due to its fixed position the center of gravity at the bottom and guarantees stability and greater grip.
Saddle down, open the shock absorbers, you’re ready to fly.
The weight motor-battery is nonexistent, the center of gravity is low and gives you stability and greater grip.
You don’t have the“Ballast Effect”, the Drive Unit is really a help and you realize to have it when you start pedaling again.
FEELING
First time up, it feels like I didn’t change my bike.
After doing the suspension setting with Fox’ tips, I fixed brakes and saddle, I am on an easy, responsive and intuitive E-bike.
The Wild is ready to be the perfect friend for a Pro or manageable to improve beginners.
Who still has doubts about E-bikes, I recommend to try the Wild. The Orbea E-bike is a step ahead of many others: study of geometries and the choice of materials make the difference.
We hope to try the Orbea Wild FS soon also at bike parks, we are sure that the satisfactions are not finished.
