Product Details
The Orbea Alma M40 is designed for riders seeking a pure connection to the trail, that simple, unfiltered experience where it's just you, the bike, and the dirt beneath your wheels. With Alma, performance becomes an obsession you feel in body and soul. Feather-light, lightning-quick, and packed with technology to take you further and faster, no other bike delivers a purer XC racing experience or more connected hardtail handling.
Built around Orbea's revolutionary X-Fader technology, the Alma achieves the perfect balance of vertical compliance without sacrificing explosive acceleration or razor-sharp handling. The shaped seat tube acts as a micro damper, engineered to absorb energy-sapping vibrations and impacts that cause fatigue on long rides. This isn't just about comfort—it's about staying sharp and in control when it matters most. Thousands of kilometers of laboratory testing and trail refinement dialed in a few millimeters of precisely tuned compliance that deliver the smoothest ride with uncompromised performance.
The advanced OMR carbon construction features an optimized rear triangle with flattened chainstays and seatstays that increase vertical compliance while resisting lateral flex for improved power transmission. The Powerspine lower frame spine handles the large majority of torsional and lateral loads, passing more watts directly to the rear wheel for addictive acceleration. This painted size medium frame weighs just 1,080 grams without hardware, while accommodating up to 2.4" tires for increased grip and smoother riding.
Perfect for XC racers and trail enthusiasts who demand simplicity and performance, the Alma M40 features no-compromise geometry with a 67° head angle for controlled descents, 75.5° seat tube for efficient climbing, and 110mm FOX 34 Float SC fork with 3-position remote via Squidlock control. The integrated carbon cockpit (265g) provides clean lines and direct internal cable routing through the SIC system, while the lower standover height gives more space to move the bike during sprints and cornering.
