Orbea WILD M-TEAM Review

The Performance Line CX from Bosch shows impressively that they shouldn't be limited to DIY and household products. The very natural motor control and the progressive power output characterise the character of the Bosch motor. Achieving such a perfect balance between natural support and power is something few other engines can do. Thanks to the very good range, you should no longer have any range problems even on very long tours.

At the chassis, Orbea were generous and gave the WILD M-TEAM a golden shine Kashima chassis from the house of Fox with 160 mm of travel. Setup-Nerds can squeeze out the maximum performance from the chassis thanks to the many setting options. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. When it comes to the brakes, Orbea reaches for the top shelf and instals premium brakes with four pistons and 2 millimeter rotors from Shimano. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Orbea leaves almost no wishes open and only uses outstanding parts. The moderate head tube angle provides a good compromise between stability and agility when going downhill. The reach is also right there in the middle ground. The low bottom bracket height is a party pooper for the handling on the trail. On other bikes, you are more centrally located behind the handlebar. The scale stays at 22,5 kg with this model. That makes the WILD M-TEAM one of the light All Mountains.
