Blurring Lines - Orbea Rise LT Review - Best Lightweight eMTB Review

Back for a third year with some updates, the Orbea Rise LT came along for our 2025 SL Shootout, where we tested 13 of the BEST Lightweight eMTBs. The Spanish brand consistently delivers impressive offerings, and their newest generation of Rise was no exception. It is truly impressive to see an e-bike boasting a full-power Shimano drive unit being trim enough to be in the SL weight class. How does the Orbea Rise LT stack up against the 12 competitors in our 2025 SL eBike Group Test? We were excited to hit the Klamath Falls trails to find out!
