2022 Orbea Occam H20-Eagle

The naked eye will have a difficult time discerning the all-new Orbea Occam H20-Eagle from its carbon fiber brethren. Orbea’s hydro high polished triple butted aluminum is meticulously crafted to replicate the strength and rigidity of their high end carbon fiber processes. This means that you get performance, durability, and style without getting a lien placed against your property.

Orbea outfitted this trail mountain bike machine with 140mm of Fox Float Performance 3-position suspension in the front and in the rear. 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 H20-Eagle features SRAM 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 H20-Eagle 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.

Get out there on the trails and challenge the carbon crowd to stay on your wheel. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with how well the Occam H20-Eagle performs.
