Pushing Performance Limits
Rise´s versatility and the cutting edge shifiting and motors from Shimano gives us the perfect development tool. Working with OQUO means including new wheel technology in the process from the start. The hours of testing and riding also give the perfect opportunity to test the latest materials and clothing with HIRU.

Building better batteries.
Motor
New motors and tunes.
Rise scored a first in one of the most important tests in the industry, “Best Buy” by Enduro Mountain Magazine showing its chops on both the climbs and descents. A great value for an all-around mountain bike that is not only fierce but totally fun!
Developing the ebike of the future
The goal is simple. To take ebike technology to the extreme, improve our knowledge and continue to push the limits of ebike performance.

Squad
The Squad
OOLab brings together an exclusive team of engineers from Shimano, Orbea, Oquo and HIRU as well as a dedicated communication team to share the stories. Of course to push the limits we need the best testers, riders who can shred hard and explain how it feels afterwards.
Damien and Gabi have raced at the top level and bring a wealth of experience to our team. Their feel for how a bike performs and their ability to communicate this to the designers and engineers is a key part of this project. Julien will manage the testing team, with his long experience as a race mechanic and team manager.
