"At first glance, you might not even know that this new Rallon RS is even an e-bike, thanks to the tiny motor and battery, and even when pedaling it, you might be confused. Theres not top-tube display, and the assist levels are a far cry from what we see on full-power eMTBs these days. Despite the apparent demand for more power, I think what Orbea has done here is really cool,"
"The Rallon RS is currently available in just two build options: the Rallon RS Team model at 10,199 USD and the Rallon RS LTD at an eye-watering $14,999 USD. Considering the spec and features, such as the Fox Live Valve Float X2 and a full Shimano XTR Di2 drivetrain, it's not the most expensive eMTB we've seen this year, but it's up there."
"While the Rallon RS might be appealing to those who don't feel the need for a full-power eMTB and still want to retain the feeling of a human-powered bike, the low power and torque of the HPR40 motor will leave you in the dust if you happen to be riding with buddies on their full-power bikes. But if you're looking for a super light, super capable enduro bike with a small amount of assist to make the miles come slightly easier,"
Orbea equipped the Rallon RS with a compact TQ HPR40 motor, a 290 Wh battery, and integration that lets shock, motor, and dropper post communicate. The package emphasizes a lightweight enduro platform that provides minimal assist and preserves a human-powered ride feel rather than full-power eMTB performance. The model comes in two builds, the Rallon RS Team at $10,199 and the Rallon RS LTD at $14,999, and features high-end components such as Fox Live Valve Float X2 and a Shimano XTR Di2 drivetrain. The low torque suits riders seeking subtle assistance but lags behind full-power eMTBs in outright performance.
