Earlier this month, Orbea launched the Wild LT eMTB. And, a few days ago, Orbea followed up with another Wild eMTB, the Wild TR. It’s a full-suspension, trail-ready eMTB that’s built on the same platform as the Wild and Wild LT. And, although the bikes look strikingly similar, the devil is in the details.
The TR comes tuned specifically for trail riding, with 150mm of travel and trail-focused geometry. This means you get a bike that’s right at home on technical singletrack without being overkill for a casual weekend ride.
The Wild TR uses the Bosch Performance Line CX drive unit. It puts out up to 120Nm of torque and 750W of peak power. So, grinding up the long hills or navigating technical inclines is not a problem.
Is it in the Name?
I’m guessing the “TR” in Orbea Wild TR is short for “Trail”. Maybe not, but with the fact that the TR was designed around one core idea: a bike that feels predictable and confidence-inspiring no matter what the trail throws at you, it seems likely.
The bike’s geometry backs this up with a 64.5° head angle paired with a steep 78° seat tube angle. This puts the rider in a balanced riding position that works whether you’re grinding up a technical climb or pointing it downhill.
The low center of gravity and well-thought-out battery weight distribution keep the bike feeling planted and stable. But the Wild TR still allows you to move around and stay nimble when needed.
Orbea has also built the Wild TR around its “Steep and Deep” frame philosophy. which essentially means the frame is designed to accommodate long-travel dropper posts. The more a dropper post drops, the more freedom the rider has to shift their weight and move with the bike when descents get serious.
Bosch Performance Line CX
Orbea’s Wild TR pairs all of its handling characteristics with Bosch’s recently updated Performance Line CX motor system. The motor puts out up to 120Nm of torque and 750W of peak power. It uses updated sensors and software to work together and deliver that power smoothly. That translates to better traction and control when the gnar gets real.
The battery options give riders some great flexibility depending on how they ride. For instance, a 600Wh pack keeps the bike lighter and more nimble for shorter rides, while the 750Wh option stretches your range for bigger days.
What if you’re planning a really big day out, and neither option feels like it’ll be enough? Well, the Wild TR is also compatible with the Bosch PowerMore Range Extender. And that can add even more mileage to your ride.
For The Ride
Orbea says the Wild TR is put together with durability at its core. It comes equipped with beefy wheelsets, proven suspension components, and the kind of setups that give riders confidence.
One of the best features of the Wild TR is the fully guided internal cable routing. It’s not only a cleaner aesthetic, but the internal cable routing design actively reduces rattling noise on rough trails. Plus, it makes maintenance noticeably simpler when the time does come.
Combine that with sealed bearings and integrated frame protection, and you have a bike that will stay dialed over many rides.
Customise with MyO
The Wild TR is available through the MyO customisation program. This program is where riders can choose their battery size, personalise key components, and select from a wide range of colors and finishes. This will help to create a bike tailored to their riding style and personal taste. Each bike is painted and assembled in the Basque Country before being delivered to its owner.
Wild TR Geometry
The Orbea Wild TR retail starts at $5,512 for the Deore version, all the way up to $11,024 for the XTR-equipped bike. Check out the link below for all of the Wild TR details.
