Orbea mountain bike review.

I recently spent a few days pedaling the updated bike through the spanish pyrenees alongside the orbea design team and i have some stoke to share on that below. Had to contact dhl myself and it turned out that orbea had not filled in delivery label correctly so bike was in one of their hubs in the unable to deliver section. Let s cover it in this orbea bikes review below. Orbea completely overhauled its occam trail bike for 2020 using a brand new asymmetric frame design built around 29in wheels and 140mm of travel.

Contacted customer service and no reply. The orbea occam is one hell of a bike. Its shape gives little doubt that it is an xc bike but there s more to a bike than. Orbea fitted a 150mm fox factory 36 fork to the front of my test bike to reflect the rocky technical riding we were to be doing on the bike.

The term orbea is derived from the family name of two spanish brothers who started the company. Initially the orbea brothers specialized in selling the guns. They intended to continue selling handguns but the company transformed into a bike manufacturer and it was not long before they created the renowned brand. Orbea offers the bike in five sizes.

Jérémie reuiller all great mountain bikes are eventually improved or replaced and the time has come for the orbea occam. S m l and xl with 29in wheels as well as a small with 27 5in wheels. Comfortable experience on two wheels. Mick took the occam m10 to derby and falls creek to see how the spanish brand s latest trail bike performs on some iconic aussie singletrack.

Capable on a huge variety of terrain well put together and well spec d the m10 is a true machine for all mountains. After a difficult start to the season and months of social distancing the world s best pro enduro riders have officially returned to racing in the heart.
