Review: 2024 Orbea Rallon - Enduro-er Than Ever

@blanshard16: True enough, it was the same on the R5, but i haven't noticed it on the R6 as I've been running mullet and the mullet linkage doesn't have the flip chip.

Review: 2024 Orbea Rallon - Enduro-er Than Ever

@RoboDuck: Mine is yet to rattle, but I'm expecting it to do so at some point. As you said, otherwise, no complaints. Maybe one of the bolts from the linkage which uses an 8mm alen key and the in-bike kit only goes up to 5 plus the 6 on the rear axle. And it's not something that's tighten with that much torque, so a 5 or 6 would have been fine. But I'm just being very picky, mainly because I found it to be loose on a ride and i didn't have an 8mm with me. Still my fault for not noticing it on a pre-ride bolt check.

@chakaping: I was just going to say the same. Never has a typo been so adequate.

Review: 2024 Orbea Rallon - Enduro-er Than Ever

I have a 2022 bike and it's the same bike with more stroke, frame parts numbers are the same, I still love the bike but why do they just throw sand in peoples's eyes?

Review: 2024 Orbea Rallon - Enduro-er Than Ever

@RoboDuck: Guys I've a 2022 model and love it, and love what Orbea has been doing in terms of enduro and trail bikes recently but you're absolutely right, this is proper bullshiting people. My bike (and yours RoboDuck) came with a 230x60mm shock and 160mm of travel. The "new" model comes with a 230x62.5mm shock and 167mm of travel If you do a three simple rule (62.5x160)/60=166.6(6) and according to an orbea dealer I spoke to, all the part numbers for any frame parts (front triangle, linkage, rear triangle bits...) are the exact same so it won't matter if you're ordering it for a 2022 or 2024. On the R5 they've developed a new link to increase travel and progression and made it available for whoever wanted to upgrade which was great. This is just patetitc.
