The History Of The Orbea Wild

Orbea History and Orbea Wild History

The story of Orbea begins in the Basque Country, Spain - the home of many fantastic cyclists and many fantastic cycling routes.

Orbea was first established in 1840 - but not as a manufacturer of bicycles. Orbea originally started as a rifle and gun manufacturer, with its goods as they are today, known for their high quality engineering and manufacturing processes.

The company gradually shifted its focus towards bicycles in the 1930s, and has been a world leader ever since. Today Orbea designs and manufactures an excellent range of mountain bikes, road bikes as well as electric bikes.

In 2018, Orbea launched the Orbea Wild, the Wild was designed to be the flagship electric mountain bike from Orbea, and it was an instant hit.

Designed to deliver an unparalleled experience from an enduro electric mountain bike experience, the Wild combined advanced technology with rugged durability. The Wild entered the market with three core principles it still uses today, an integrated battery system, high quality full suspension components alongside high torque and high performance motors and battery systems.

Evolution and Future

Since the launch of the Wild, Orbea has given the bike several updates and improvements to keep it in line with industry improvements and technological advancements.

Orbea's dedication to enhancing the riding experience has led to continuous advancements in battery technology, motor efficiency, and overall bike geometry.

Each new iteration of the Wild builds on the success of its predecessors.

Today, the Wild features the most powerful motor and the largest battery capacity on the electric bike market - but Orbea does not want to draw attention to these facts and figures. Orbea claims the most important feature of the Orbea Wild is how it leaves other electric mountain bikes behind when it comes to riding experience and performance. The Wild is a bike which has had an extreme weight saving diet placed upon it, and it’s a bike which has been designed to excel in both ascending and descending.

At the core of the design of the Wild is the Secure Battery System and the Clean Cockpit which has been designed to ensure the bike has a minimalist and smooth appearance. It’s not just the electric features of the bike which have been given maximum attention and design - the concentric pivot assembly at the rear axle of the bike has also had an update, and decouples the braking forces of the bike from the suspension completely - it also does this with fewer parts, meaning the bike is lighter, stiffer and increasingly sensitive to the riders wants and inputs.
