AI quick summary
- Orbea is Spain's largest bike brand, headquartered in Mallabia in the Basque Country since 1840 (originally a gun maker, bicycles from 1930). Orbea is employee-owned (a cooperative) and sponsors the Euskaltel-Euskadi and Cofidis pro teams. The brand is the official bike partner of the Itzulia Basque Country
- Road hierarchy: Orca (lightweight climbing) → Orca Aero (aero race) → Terra (gravel). Orbea, like Trek, keeps lightweight and aero as separate road platforms
- MyO is Orbea's custom-order program: you pick the paint (multiple color zones), the components, and on some models the geometry — the bike is built to order in Spain. It's the most developed OEM customization program among major brands
- Mountain: Oiz (XC, 120 mm, the flagship), Rallon (enduro, 160/150 mm), Occam (trail, 150/140 mm). Orbea is also a major e-MTB player with the Wild, Rise, and Keram lines

Road — Orca, Orca Aero
Orca: Orbea's lightweight climbing bike, the bike of Euskaltel-Euskadi on mountain stages. The OMX layup (≈780 g) is the team-grade carbon; OMR is the value tier with the same geometry. The Orca uses a round (non-integrated) cockpit on most builds, making stem length adjustable — a practical choice over the fully-integrated competitors.
Orca Aero: Orbea's aero race bike, for sprint and flat stages. Deeper tube shapes than the Orca, with a fully integrated cockpit on OMX builds. Heavier than the Orca but faster on flat terrain. Orbea keeps the two platforms separate (vs Giant and Cannondale which have consolidated into one).
Orbea road family. OMX is the top carbon (lightest); OMR is the value carbon. MyO custom paint available on all.
| Model | Category | Carbon grade | Frame weight | Tire clearance | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orca (OMX) | Lightweight climbing (race) | OMX (lightest) | ≈780 g (size 53) | 32 mm | ≈$9,000 (Dura-Ace Di2) |
| Orca (OMR) | Lightweight climbing | OMR | ≈830 g (size 53) | 32 mm | ≈$4,500 (Ultegra Di2) |
| Orca Aero (OMX) | Aero race | OMX | ≈950 g (size 53) | 28 mm | ≈$9,500 (Dura-Ace Di2) |
| Orca Aero (OMR) | Aero race | OMR | ≈1,000 g (size 53) | 28 mm | ≈$5,000 (105 Di2) |

Gravel — Terra
Terra: Orbea's gravel platform, 45 mm tire clearance (700c). The carbon Terra (M-series) uses a compliant seatpost and compliance-tuned rear triangle; the alloy Terra (H-series) is the entry point. MyO custom paint is available on the carbon models.
Terra gravel family. Carbon (M-Group) and alloy. MyO custom paint available on carbon.
| Model | Frame | Tire clearance | Cockpit | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terra M20i | Carbon (OMR-equivalent) | 45 mm (700c) | Integrated carbon | ≈$4,500 (GRX Di2) |
| Terra M30 | Carbon | 45 mm (700c) | Round cockpit | ≈$3,000 (GRX) |
| Terra H30 | Alloy | 45 mm (700c) | Round cockpit | ≈$1,800 (GRX 400) |

Mountain — Oiz, Occam, Rallon
Oiz: Orbea's XC race full-suspension bike, 120 mm travel, 29" wheels. The Oiz is one of the lightest and most raced XC platforms — multiple World Cup wins. OMX carbon is the team grade. The Oiz uses a short-travel four-bar linkage tuned for efficiency.
Occam: Orbea's trail bike, 150/140 mm, available in 29" or MX. The Occam is the 'one trail bike' competitor to the Trek Fuel EX and Specialized Stumpjumper. The asymmetric frame (asymmetric seatstay for shock clearance) is a visual signature.
Rallon: Orbea's enduro bike, 160/150 mm (or 170/160 on the long-travel variant), MX. The Rallon is the gravity-focused platform — slack, long, with adjustable geometry via a flip-chip. The Wild is the e-MTB equivalent (Bosch CX motor).
Orbea MTB family. All full-suspension models use a four-bar linkage. Oiz is XC, Occam is trail, Rallon is enduro.
| Model | Category | Travel (F/R) | Wheel size | Carbon grade | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oiz | XC race | 120 / 120 mm | 29" | OMX or OMR | ≈$5,500 (OMX, XT) |
| Occam | Trail | 150 / 140 mm | 29" or MX | OMX or OMR | ≈$4,500 (OMR) |
| Rallon | Enduro | 160 / 150 mm (or 170/160) | MX (29 F / 27.5 R) | OMX or OMR | ≈$5,000 (OMR) |
| Alma | XC hardtail | 100 mm (F only) | 29" | OMX or OMR | ≈$3,000 |
| Wild | E-enduro | 160 / 150 mm | MX | Carbon (Bosch CX) | ≈$6,500 |

MyO — Orbea's custom-order program
MyO is Orbea's online configurator: you pick paint colors across multiple frame zones, choose the groupset, wheels, and cockpit, and on some models select geometry options. The bike is then built to order at the Mallabia factory in Spain and shipped to your dealer.
MyO is the most developed OEM customization program among major brands. Most competitors offer paint choices; Orbea offers full component and (on select models) geometry customization. The lead time is 4–8 weeks, and the price is transparent — you see the cost of each upgrade as you configure.
The catch: MyO orders are non-returnable (built for you). For riders who want a specific build that isn't a stock SKU, MyO is the only major-brand path to a true custom-spec bike without going to a boutique frame builder.
