Orbea Wild 27.5 Link (2025-2026)

*Estimated ship date 5/20

We've been wildly hard at work trying wild things to make the Wild get wildly wilder. We’ve refined the kinematics of the mixed wheel size (27.5 rear wheel) Orbea Wild to unlock the maximum descending potential. An increase to 180 mm of travel along with a modest bump to 30% progression really lets you open it up when the trail gets steep and chunky while still delivering excellent pop off jumps.

If you have a 29/29 Wild, this link is an excellent way to convert your bike to use a 27.5 rear wheel while retaining solid kinematics. It's worth noting that the only difference between 27.5 and 29 frames is the linkage. The difference in kinematics between the OE linkages can be seen in the graph below.
