H means hydroformed and stands for alloy. M is Carbon. In 2023 you can get any M Version with 540Wh battery

I have put Lyrik Ultimate, Fox float shock, 4 piston slx brakes, Assegai front, dissector rear, 210mm one up dropper post on my Orbea Rise H30 and it rides much much better, than stock configuration. Before that it was a ballet dancer, now it is burly ice hockey player

rode a 2022 M20 rental in bentonville this year for two days. I really loved the bike, and i did get the 'smaller' size (could have gone large, but I got a medium for more flickability). It's really a fun bike to huck off of trail side hits and drops of less than 3', which is fine, as my days of seeking ever bigger stuff are waning - I'm just in for a rowdy good time on the trail, and the Rise is a fun bike, if you remember it's still a 'trail-bike' (but you could make it a mini-enduro bike with a 150mm fork, wider rims, 4-pot brakes, etc. - prolly be super awesome that way)

The 2023 is lighter. The high end model I believe they were able to get it down to 32 lbs.

The 2023 H30 is approx 1lb lighter with a new controller switch. Nice review. I am 135lb rider so this bike would do just great for me doing light XC riding. Cheers bro!
