Take it too far
Performance benefits can be found everywhere, small improvements that add up. Our obsession never stops. But how far is too far? Orbea's goals, its competitors, and its creative mindset keep pushing them to victory. And once you know how sweet success tastes, you always want more. Their obsession with being the best. You feel it in your heart, in your lungs, in your legs - and you recognize it from our bikes. Only by perfecting the smallest details more and more and leaving behind the limits of what seems possible can they achieve their big goals.
Dynamic Structure
Most of the twisting forces and lateral loads are absorbed by the lower part of the frame. Head tube, down tube and chainstays resist the loads so you can transmit power efficiently to the rear wheel. The more torsionally rigid the frame is here, the more power is transferred from the legs directly to the ground and the more immediate the power transmission.
OMX - 830gr (M)
Orbea Monocoque X (OMX) frames rely on an exclusive combination of highly modular and high-strength carbon fibres. Prepreg carbon mats are laser cut to minimize material usage and overlapping areas. In addition, the frame is elaborately preformed to achieve optimum compression with as little carbon as possible. The use of a mold made entirely of expanded polystorol (EPS) and latex inserts prevents wrinkles and voids.
Comfort
For example, the new Alma has thinner seat stays. Thanks to reduced cross-section and diameter, they provide a graceful support for the seat tube. The top tube, on the other hand, is particularly robust at the front of the head tube to increase torsional rigidity. Towards the rear, however, the top tube tapers quickly to save material and thus weight.
The damping properties achieved by the carbon layup and the narrow design of the top tube and seat stays give the Alma a dynamic yet smooth ride, with which the bike glides over rough ground. The effect is subtle, but still noticeable. At the end of a tough race, just such a detail can make the difference between a place on the podium and the consolation prize.
Orbea World Cup Geometry
Years of developing top-of-the-line cross-country bikes have led to the Alma's World Cup geometry. The seating position is aggressive, fast and yet comfortable. Compared to the trail geometry, which sacrifices a little precision for the sake of endurance, the cross-country geometry is designed for precise riding and maximum power transmission.
OC Cockpit
With the unique design of OC steering head, spacer and stem, they have given Orbea's cross-country family a whole new integrated look. This also includes the optional holder for the bike computer, which is compatible with all common brands via adapter. The interaction of OC components completes the high-end claim of their modern cross-country bikes.
Blocklock
The Acros Blocklock 164º headset limits the deflection of the handlebar and thus prevents damage to the frame. Working closely with Acros, they were able to minimize the overall height and integrate the system into the cockpit of their carbon Almas in the best possible way.
