The Designs of Orbea are superb. Can't afford but found my new love, the Onna 10. The quality of the Frame and the finish with the flawless details and amazing colour mixes is just love. This will be my first and hopefully not last Orbea. My brand experience has been fantastic so far. I am so blown away by the frames, colors, geometries that i fell bad about the fact they don't search a mediadesigner/photographer/sales representative - I would apply immediately. Fantastic Bicycles. 🍩🍩

As an owner of a Oiz TR this is a really good bike. I've had it for year and I've raced XC, gravel and enduro with no issues. I have other bikes which are also great but if I had to keep one it would have to be the Oiz.

That is cool. I have a procaliber 9.7 and a Gravelbike from Canyon. For me the Gravel is for bad roads and the hardtail is for speed on Gravel and easy trails. Now I ordered a OIZ for the use on my hometrails because my remedy 8 feels a little bit to heavy for Medium trails. For the Moment enough bikes I hope 🤣

I be had 120’on xc before and found the 100mm just a tad sharper and feels like more of a speed merchant. That said, extra travel means you don’t have to be quite so cautious on descents so it’s horses for courses so to speak.

Depends where and how you ride I think. For some there’s no benefit in having a 120mm. I have an Oiz M30 (2022), and I love it, but here in Cataluña I guess the TR or the new 120mm version would be better use. In Belgium, where I used to live, I would not go for that. I love the updated cockpit though!

Not sure what to think about 120 mm XC racing bike. I hoped they would bring a 100 mm XC racing and something like a 120/130 mm Downcountry/Touring bike to fill the gap to the Occam. But then again the head angle is kinda downcountry-ish. Nice bike nonetheless.

@MTBr-of-SoCal Жыл бұрын

Are you serious? 120 fits the range of a typical XC. There is no such thing as "downcountry". It's a freakin' industry term that "tries" to squeeze itself into a tiny niche that shouldn't exist. This is an XC bike, pure and simple.
