Why Ride the Wild FS H20 in Nazaré?
The Orbea Wild FS H20 is the most capable bike we offer at IronDeer — and Nazaré has the terrain to justify it. The Bosch Performance CX motor is one of the most powerful systems available on a rental e-MTB, delivering 85 Nm of torque across four assist modes. On the steep, loose trails behind Nazaré and along the canyon rim above Praia do Norte, that power is immediately felt. Climbs that would stop most riders feel controlled and manageable. You arrive at the top with energy left to enjoy the descent.
The full-suspension design — 160 mm front and rear — is what separates the Wild FS H20 from the other bikes in our fleet. The RockShox 35 Silver fork and Fox Float DPS rear shock absorb the rough, rocky stretches that appear on the longer trail loops between Nazaré and the Serra de Aire foothills. On a hardtail, those sections demand constant attention. On the Wild FS H20, you can carry speed through them with confidence and let the suspension work.
The Maxxis Minion tyres at 2.60" width give you a contact patch built for loose, unpredictable terrain. On the sandy, gravelly trails above the cliffs north of Nazaré — where the ground can shift under your wheels — that traction makes a real difference. The SRAM DB8 hydraulic brakes give you progressive, reliable stopping power even on extended descents with a loaded bike and a heavy motor system.
The 625 Wh PowerTube battery is fully integrated into the down tube, keeping weight low and the bike balanced even at 25 kg. On a full day of enduro-style riding — climbing with Bosch assist, descending fast, stopping for lunch, doing it again — the battery has the capacity to last without needing a mid-day top-up.
Who is the Wild FS H20 For?
The Wild FS H20 is for riders who already know what they want. If you have trail or enduro experience and you are in Nazaré specifically to ride — not just to explore — this is the right bike.
The experienced trail rider. You are comfortable on technical terrain, you know how to use suspension, and you want a bike that does not limit what you can attempt. The Wild FS H20 handles everything the trails around Nazaré have to offer: steep switchbacks on the climb to Sítio, rooted and rocky sections in the Pinhal de Leiria, and the fast, exposed descents along the canyon rim. This bike does not ask you to slow down.
The enduro enthusiast. You are drawn to the longest, roughest loops available from Nazaré — full-day routes covering 50–80 km with significant elevation. The 625 Wh battery supports that ambition, and the 160 mm of travel means the descents are something to look forward to rather than survive. You are the rider who plans the route the night before and checks the weather forecast.
The rider who wants Bosch. The Bosch Performance CX has a different character to the Shimano EP8 RS — stronger initial engagement, a more powerful feel at low cadence, and a motor behaviour that many riders describe as more intuitive on technical climbs. If you have ridden Bosch systems before and prefer that feel, the Wild FS H20 is the one for you.
The heavier or stronger rider. At 85 Nm and with 160 mm of rear travel, the Wild FS H20 is the most forgiving bike in our fleet for larger riders or those carrying camera equipment. The Fox Float DPS shock handles the extra load without sacrificing performance.
