Orbea has launched the next evolution of its ‘less is more’ e-bike concept with the Rallon RS. However, this isn’t a lightweight e-bike in the traditional sense. Yes, it has a motor and a battery, but it’s positioned to feel and ride like an analog bike. It’s definitely not going to be a bike for everyone, but it offers a lot to talk about as it challenges how we currently incorporate electric assistance into the mountain biking experience.
Rallon RS Highlights
– 170mm of rear wheel travel // 180mm fork
– Dual 29-inch or mixed wheel (requires separate link)
– 290 Wh battery (160 Wh range extender sold separately)
– TQ HPR40 motor w/ 40 Nm torque and 200 W power
– Orbea’s dropper/controller, FOX’s Neo shock, and Shimano’s Di2 drivetrain are all electronically integrated with the motor/battery
– Weight (size large, no pedals): 39.5 lb (17.9 kg)
– MSRP: RS-LTD – $14,999 USD // RS-Team – $10,999 USD
