The Orbea Wild LT is Orbea’s most aggressive full-power eMTB, designed to bring the downhill-proven performance of the Rallon platform into a fully powered electric package. Built for riders who want maximum capability on steep, technical and high-speed terrain, the Wild LT takes Orbea’s gravity race DNA and combines it with the power, range and control of the Avinox M2S motor system.

 

At its heart, the Wild LT is a long-travel enduro eMTB with proper downhill intent. The frame uses 170mm of rear travel, with compatibility for a 180mm fork up front, giving it the suspension depth needed for rough descents, bike park laps and full-gas enduro riding. It also shares the same performance-led approach as Orbea’s latest gravity bikes, with active suspension kinematics, a low and centralised weight distribution and a frame layout designed to keep the bike composed when the trail gets steep, fast and physical.

 

The big story, however, is the Avinox M2S motor with Orbea’s own RS Tune. Rather than using the standard Avinox setup, Orbea has developed its own proprietary firmware to shape how the motor responds on the trail. The result is a drive system built around traction, control and precision, not just headline power figures. Assistance arrives quickly and naturally, helping the bike react more directly to rider input on technical climbs, awkward restarts and steep sections where timing and grip matter most.

Orbea Wild LT Carbon 2027 (M20 - M-LTD)

Orbea Wild LT M-LTD


The M-LTD sits at the very top of the Wild LT range and is the no-compromise option for riders who want the highest-end build straight out of the box. It gets Fox Factory suspension front and rear, with a Fox 38 Float Factory fork and Fox Float X2 Factory Trunnion shock for maximum downhill control, adjustability and support on repeated big hits.

 

SRAM’s XX Eagle AXS drivetrain gives the M-LTD a premium wireless shifting setup, while SRAM Maven Ultimate brakes provide serious stopping power for steep, fast and technical riding. This is the build for riders who want the lightest, cleanest and most premium Wild LT Carbon package available.

 

Orbea Wild LT M-Team


The M-Team is still a very high-end build, but it brings the price down compared to the M-LTD while keeping the same Fox Factory suspension package. You still get the Fox 38 Float Factory fork and Float X2 Factory shock, so the core descending performance remains seriously capable.

 

The main changes come in the drivetrain and brakes. SRAM GX Eagle AXS gives wireless shifting at a more accessible level than XX, while SRAM Maven Silver brakes keep the powerful four-piston braking performance needed for a full-power long-travel eMTB. For many riders, the M-Team will be the sweet spot: elite suspension, wireless shifting and proper gravity-ready brakes without stepping all the way up to the flagship price.

 

Orbea Wild LT M10


The M10 is the Shimano-equipped option in the Wild LT Carbon line-up and looks like a strong choice for riders who want high-end performance without going fully wireless. It keeps the premium Fox Factory suspension, using the same Fox 38 Float Factory fork and Fox Float X2 Factory Trunnion shock found on the higher models.

Instead of SRAM AXS, the M10 uses a Shimano XT M8200 SGS drivetrain, paired with Shimano XT 8220 brakes. That makes it a great option for riders who prefer Shimano’s shifting feel and braking setup, while still getting the top-tier Fox suspension package. It is a serious performance build and likely to appeal to riders who want the ride quality of the higher models but with a more traditional drivetrain package.

 

Orbea Wild LT M20


The M20 is the entry point into the Wild LT Carbon range, but it still keeps the same core frame platform and Avinox-powered layout. This is the model for riders who want the Wild LT experience at the most accessible price.

 

The suspension package moves to a Fox Float X Performance Trunnion shock and RockShox ZEB Base fork. That gives the bike a tough, long-travel setup that is still suitable for aggressive riding, but with fewer premium adjustments than the Factory-level builds. Shimano Deore M7200 SGS drivetrain and Shimano MT420 brakes keep the spec reliable and functional, making the M20 a strong option for riders who prioritise the frame, motor system and overall ride feel over top-end finishing kit.

Orbea Wild LT Aluminium 2027 (H20 - H-Team)

Orbea Wild LT H-Team


The H-Team is the flagship aluminium model and the highest-spec option in the Wild LT H range. It gets a seriously capable Fox Factory suspension package, with a Fox 38 Float Factory fork up front and a Fox Float X2 Factory Trunnion shock at the rear. That gives it the most adjustable and performance-focused suspension setup of the aluminium line-up.

 

The H-Team also uses Shimano XT M8200 drivetrain components and Shimano XT 8220 brakes, making it a strong choice for riders who want a premium mechanical build with powerful, dependable braking. For riders who want the best aluminium Wild LT available, without stepping into the carbon range, the H-Team is the standout option.

 

Orbea Wild LT H10


The H10 sits in the middle of the aluminium range and looks like the sweet spot for a lot of riders. It keeps the Shimano XT M8200 drivetrain from the H-Team, giving it a high-quality shifting setup, but moves to a slightly more accessible suspension and braking package.

 

Suspension comes from a Fox 38 Float Performance fork and Fox Float X Performance Trunnion shock. That still gives the H10 a proper hard-hitting setup for steep, rough and technical trails, just with fewer premium adjustments than the Factory-level H-Team. Braking is handled by Shimano MT620 brakes, which keeps the bike trail-ready while helping bring the price down.

 

The H10 is a great choice for riders who want a strong balance of performance and value. It still feels like a serious Wild LT build, but without the full flagship price.

 

Orbea Wild LT H20


The H20 is the most affordable model in the Wild LT Aluminium range, but it still keeps the key ingredients that make the bike appealing: the alloy Wild LT chassis, Avinox M2S power and a properly capable long-travel setup.

 

The H20 uses a Fox Float X Performance Trunnion shock paired with a RockShox ZEB Base fork. It is a more value-focused suspension package than the H-Team and H10, but still tough enough for aggressive trail riding. Shimano Deore M7200 drivetrain components keep the build reliable and practical, while Shimano MT420 brakes provide dependable stopping power.
