New 2024 Orbea Rise H20 incoming, which upgrades to get?
I have a brand new 2024 Orbea Rise H20 incoming which I got for a steep steep discount. Which upgrades to the stock model are suggested? Components in the link
I have found the fox 34 performance to give anything but performance in my local riding. I use it on a bike, not an e bike, and I feel that the added weight of battery and motor will only overwhelm that weak fork even more.
Depending on skill, speed, and trail type thought, ymmv.

Just ride it fist then decide what you need to upgrade.

The 34 is the only thing I’d change soon. The rise feels better with a 36 or lyrik at 150 or 160. If you ride anything gnarly, the cascade link is awesome (but I don’t know about international availability outside of the us). The stock saddle sucks but that’s personal. The stock wheelset felt a little harsh and I switched to weareone carbon wheelset. I swapped out the bars to a oneup carbon (but I do this in all my bikes); not strictly necessary.
