IN BRIEF
Orbea is moving its Wild LT enduro electric mountain bike to DJI’s Avinox motor, in a version called M2S RS that the Basque brand had retuned for it. In the four everyday assistance modes, power is capped at 750 W; a peak mode releases 1,300 W and 150 Nm in bursts. According to E-MOUNTAINBIKE Magazine, the carbon range runs from €6,999 to €13,499.

For the past eighteen months, DJI’s Avinox motor has been eating into the ground Bosch and Shimano dominated in electric mountain biking. Mondraker and Megamo adopted it as early as 2026, and Cube is joining for 2027. Orbea, which until now had worked with other partners on its Wild, joins the list — and is not merely bolting the motor on as it comes.
Orbea Wild LT: a DJI Avinox motor retuned to order
The version fitted to the Wild LT is called Avinox M2S RS, the suffix denoting Orbea’s own tune. The most visible change is a deliberate limit: according to E-MOUNTAINBIKE Magazine, maximum power “in all other modes (Eco, Trail, Turbo, Auto)” is brought down to 750 W. Electric MTB UK describes the same architecture, with “up to 130Nm of torque and 750W of power”.
What is taken away continuously comes back in bursts. Again according to E-MOUNTAINBIKE, “the full 1,300 W peak power and 150 Nm of torque remain available in the Boost mode for up to 60 seconds at a time”. Electric MTB UK calls this mode “Superboost” and gives the same figures.
The point of the in-house tune lies elsewhere, in response time. Orbea claims a motor that “reacts around 3.2 times faster than the standard tune”, with “roughly five times less crank rotation is required to activate motor support”, the magazine reports. The brand also claims a saving of “between 20 and 25% of energy” compared with the standard tune.
170 mm at both ends and 800 Wh
The chassis takes on the proportions of an enduro machine. Electric MTB UK describes a bike built “around 170mm of rear travel with a 170mm fork as standard, while riders can choose a 180mm fork”. The Avinox battery is quoted at 800 Wh. According to E-MOUNTAINBIKE, only the carbon frames can opt for a 600 Wh battery instead, the aluminium version being offered solely with 800 Wh.
Weight follows the same logic. E-MOUNTAINBIKE quotes the top-of-the-range M-LTD RS at “approx. 22 kg in size L”, which the magazine places “among the lighter full-power bikes currently available on the market”. That figure applies to the best-equipped version.
The carbon range from €6,999 to €13,499
The prices recorded by E-MOUNTAINBIKE cover a wide span. The M20 opens the carbon range at €6,999, with a Shimano Deore M7200 drivetrain. The M10 is announced at €8,499, and the M-LTD RS, with electronic suspension, at €13,499. The real entry point is lower: the magazine gives the aluminium version, the Wild LT Hydro, at €5,999, with the same motor and the same 800 Wh battery.
These euro prices come from the specialist press: as of 24 August, Orbea’s website responded with an anti-bot verification page when queried from the VPS, on both its French and its US versions, so its price list could not be consulted directly. The bike was presented to the press around Benasque, in the Spanish Pyrenees. It was unveiled on 18 June 2026; Bikerumor reported it as on sale from that day.
What remains is the industrial signal, and it lies in the “RS” suffix. Orbea has not merely picked Avinox: the brand obtained a tune written for it, and claims the gain in responsiveness that comes with it. That is the kind of arrangement you negotiate with an established supplier, not with a newcomer.
