2023 Orbea Wild M-LTD eMTB Improved

November 23, 2022

2023 Orbea Wild M-LTD enduro electric bike


The new 2023 Orbea Wild puts more emphasis on performance than ever before, and by switching from a removable battery design to an all-in-built one-piece structure, claim that the new frames stiffness is improved by 52%, while the frame weight is reduced by about 900g. The frame geometry was also adjusted to be longer, lower, and taller.


For the drive unit, Orbea uses Bosch’s Performance CX Race motor, which is around 140g lighter than the non-race version. In its Race Assistance mode, which replaces Turbo, software updates mean it delivers 400 per cent assistance rather than the 340 per cent of the Performance CX model.The main change in the new Orbea Wild is the built-in battery design, which means the tube is more visually integrated. The built-in battery means that removing the battery first requires removing the motor with an Allen wrench, but the advantage of this approach is that compared to the old model, the Orbea increases frame stiffness while saving about 900 grams. In fact, the bare-carbon frame (without shock absorbers, motors, batteries or wiring) is said to weigh just 2,675g - just 70g more than the equivalent Rallon Enduro bike. This helps Orbea achieve a claimed vehicle weight of less than 21 kilograms (46.3 pounds), which is very impressive for a full-power electric bike.

The Wild M-LTD comes with a smaller, thus lighter, 625Wh Bosch PowerTube battery, though tested the bike with both a 625Wh and a 750Wh battery. All Wild frames are compatible with both.



The first significant change is Orbea now uses an integrated, non-removable battery. This is intended to improve frame stiffness. As a result, the new bike has a 50 per cent stiffer front triangle than the previous Orbea Wild.


Sealed Internal Cables in 2023 Orbea Wild M-LTD



More frame details include Orbea’s SIC (Sealed Internal Cables) system that threads the rear brake, dropper post and gear cable through rubber plugs in the headset cap, which then runs internally through the frame. This was done to give the cockpit a neat look and reduce noise from cable rattling.




There have also been tweaks to the geometry, primarily to improve speed and stability. The 448mm rear forks are 7mm shorter, with 25mm more reach (size M), 1.5° slack at the head angle, and 1.5° steeper seat tube. This adds up to a 44 mm increase in the wheelbase. The bottom bracket is 5mm taller for extra pedal clearance, and the head tube is 20mm longer for a taller front end, which, along with the shorter rear end, should make it easier to place the front wheel higher. The longer, slacker, taller front end should make it feel more stable at speed.
