2022 Orbea Occam H30

Discover limitless enjoyment, new places, and the thrill of adventure aboard the eager and capable 2022 Orbea Occam H30. Sporting the same geometry and attention to detail as its expensive siblings, the 2022 Occam H30 is outfitted for day-long wilderness journeys and after work stress-relieving joy rides.

An aluminum frame has never looked so good. Orbea concocted this hydro high polished triple butted aluminum frame to replicate the durability, performance, and dashing style of their OMR carbon fiber. Their engineers wanted to make an aluminum frame that wasn’t second best, and they succeeded. You’ll turn eyes and perform capably on this trail-slaying accomplice.

Orbea outfitted this trail mountain bike machine with 140mm of Fox Float Performance in the rear and a 140mm Marzocchi Bomber fork. This means that you can punch through rolling terrain, tear up climbs, and descend like a world-cup champ with suspension feedback that’s optimized to translate your pedal stroke into unbridled speed. 

Orbea’s technique for aluminum manufacturing and material sourcing is just as advanced as their carbon processes. Ultra high quality aluminum tubing undergoes a process to align the grain structure and is then subjected to a hydroforming process to achieve optimal tube shape and wall thickness. The wall thickness is appropriately distributed to critical areas in order to utilize just the right amount of material - just enough to provide structural integrity without going overkill and negatively impacting the weight. Many of the aluminum tubes are double, and even triple, butted so that stressed areas are reinforced. Orbea cleans up their welds in a time-consuming sanding process to give the frame a clean look while increasing the strength of the welds.

The Occam H30 features Shimano 12-speed shifting to enable seamless transitions between gears to allow you to stay in the most efficient gear when the terrain makes abrupt and unpredictable changes. 

Orbea is a stand-out company that pays attention to the smallest details. The Occam H30 includes a 4 key multi-tool that is held into the rear-suspension axle. This allows you to save pocket and bag space while still being able to make minor tweaks and fixes while out on your ride.
