Orbea Alma M20

The Orbea Alma M20 represents the pure essence of mountain riding, just you and the trail in perfect connection. With Alma, performance becomes an obsession felt in body and soul, delivering a purer connection to the trail than any other bike. Feather-light and lightning-quick, this platform packs advanced technology to take riders further and faster while maintaining the simple joy that defines hardtail riding.

Built around the advanced Orbea Alma carbon frame weighing 1,080g (painted size medium without hardware), this construction combines optimized rear triangle design with Powerspine architecture for exceptional balance between minimal weight and optimal vibration absorption. The innovative X-Fader technology acts as a micro damper through shaped seat tube engineering, absorbing energy-sapping vibrations and impacts while maintaining explosive acceleration and razor-sharp handling. Thousands of kilometers of testing refined the perfect balance—just enough vertical flex to smooth the trail without compromising performance.

The flattened chainstay and seatstay shapes with special carbon layup increase vertical compliance for reduced fatigue, while resisting lateral flex for improved power transmission. The Powerspine structure handles the large majority of torsional and lateral loads, resisting flex and passing more watts to the rear wheel for addictive, instant acceleration. Clearance for 2.4" tires provides larger air volume and increased contact area for enhanced grip and smoother riding.

The no-compromise geometry features 67° head tube angle for controlled descents and generous wheelbase for improved stability, while 75.5° seat tube enhances pedaling dynamics on steep climbs. The shorter seat tube leaves more seatpost exposed for better absorption, and lower standover height provides space to move the bike during sprinting or cornering. The Fox 34 Float SL Performance fork with 110mm travel hits the sweet spot of bump absorption and low weight, featuring three-position hydraulic adjustment via Squidlock remote or fork crown dial.

The integrated carbon cockpit weighing 265g provides clean lines, lowest weight, and improved steering accuracy with direct internal cable routing through the SIC system and HS02 headset. The Squidlock remote puts dropper and suspension control just a thumb click away, integrating with Shimano or SRAM brake clamps. The MP10 dropper post offers 100mm of infinitely adjustable travel at just 419g, while Smart Clips allow full telescopic seatpost insertion with discreet bottle cage attachment.

Shimano XT Shadow Plus 12-speed drivetrain delivers reliable shifting designed for XC demands, while Oquo Mountain Performance MP28PRO wheels provide dependable performance. Perfect for riders seeking connected hardtail handling with less fatigue and performance made simple, Alma M20 reminds you when riding was pure connection.
