Hi guys, apologies as i know there have been plenty of topics and discussion on the topic already, but i couldnt find anything that was a direct in experience or opinion.
As the title states Start Fitness with their current black friday deals code have the Orbea Rise h20 2023 model at just £2700, it's an absolute bargain right? And as someone currently shopping for an 'sl emtb' i'd be stupid not to go for it?
But before i take the plunge, i've been eyeing up 2 other lightweight emtb's and that is the:
- Haibike Lyke cf 10 - £3400 (multiple outlets) similar in spec if slightly better, but £700 more expensive.
- Trek Fuel ExE 9.5 - £3300 (Uprise Bikes, semi local to myself being south wales) a lower spec but possibly more modern in terms of emtb tech? Worth the extra £600?
I'm not massively well versed in the different motors and their benefits, it seems there's benefits and negatives to each the TQ Motor, Shimano EP6 and the Fazua.
I'm almsot completely sold on the Orbea, just one final 'vibes' check before i go for it.
Cheers!
Lots of retailers have big deals on XL size Rises, so look around for higher specced versions at great prices before hitting buy. It’s the smaller sizes that tend to be hard to get (at all, never mind cheap).
In fact… just looked, and Start have the H30 in everything but small for just £180 more… I’d look at that if I was you.
EDIT: ignore that, the cheaper bike is the far better specced one, isn’t it. Grab it if you’re XL.
