The Orbea Occam is tailored for alpine trail riders seeking efficiency and excitement on high-mountain adventures. Its versatile lineup includes models designed for various trail experiences, balancing responsiveness and stability for confident handling on climbs and technical descents. Integrated frame storage allows riders to carry essentials without extra packs.
The Occam SL features 140mm of front and rear suspension, combining cross-country efficiency with the ability to tackle technical trails. In contrast, the Occam LT offers a more progressive ride with 150mm of rear travel and 160mm up front, ideal for handling rough terrain and steep descents while still being efficient on climbs.
Both models are available in alloy and carbon frames, accommodating different budgets and performance needs. With extended seat tubes for dropper post compatibility, the Orbea Occam lineup delivers stability, durability, and versatility for diverse mountain trails.
The Orbea Rallon is built for downhill performance, ideal for riders who thrive on steep descents and rugged trails. Its aggressive geometry inspires confidence at high speeds, allowing for greater control on technical terrain.

The Rallon lineup offers high-performance options for various riding styles and budgets. The M-LTD and M-TEAM models feature advanced components and high-end suspension systems that effortlessly absorb impacts, while the more accessible H30 model still delivers an impressive downhill experience with many of the Rallon’s key features.
Notably, the Rallon’s advanced suspension maximizes shock absorption and stability on rugged trails, with fully sealed bearings for enhanced durability and lower maintenance. Available in both alloy and carbon frames, the Rallon caters to serious mountain bikers seeking a reliable and high-performing downhill bike designed to push limits.
The Orbea Laufey is a versatile hardtail mountain bike built for thrill-seekers. With slack geometry and a 140mm suspension fork, it offers a balanced ride for both climbs and descents, excelling on technical trails and flowy paths alike. Its wide 2.6” tires provide excellent traction, and the durable frame absorbs shocks, keeping the ride smooth.
The lineup includes the H30 for all-around durability and the H10 for a lighter, more responsive feel. Features like Orbea’s Lockr downtube cargo bay with an OC bag for tools, a low-slung frame, and rugged construction make it a capable and fun choice for all skill levels, from cross-country trails to jumps.
