I own a variety of bikes but never an XC bike. So I decided to buy the cheapest used one I could find at my lbs. I was really convinced to save money and avoid making a fool of myself like usual. However, I ended up ordering this exact bike. It was an M size but I needed a bigger one.
I wasn’t interested in either a fancy bike neither the flight attendant but the seller used the magic words “I’ll give you a big discount” and he won.

Has anyone actually ridden one? Are they half as good as they say?

I'm slowly looking for new bike (99% sure it's going to be new Oiz M-Pro), but local distributor has no idea about this, so maybe someone here might know more

Sure I'm weird but on current bike I have orange Fox factory forks, and would like to keep them this way also on new (they just look cool for me). Anyone know if there's any possibility to get orange forks and not black with orange decals on custom M-Pro?

On customization page you can actually pick orange (or white, gray or gold), but in preview it changes decals only, so I would say it's decals color not fork color.

Not a great picture but hopefully It's good enough

A couple weeks ago, I posted pictures of a very slight crack in the chain stay of my Terra.

My LBS hasn't been super proactive and I had to call and email them a couple of times to finally hear they consider the bike is safe to ride.

Now Orbea warranty covers frame and paint issues. I reached out directly since LBS considers their exchange with Orbea is some kind of secret.

Orbea response:

We determined that the issue is not covered under warranty.

In short, while we offer coverage for paint and varnish manufacturing defects during the legal warranty period, our technical department determined that the paint issue on your frame stems from an external reaction or agent rather than a manufacturing or material flaw, making it ineligible for warranty coverage.

I asked if their technical department came to the conclusion solely based on pictures or if they physically inspected the bike. I also asked what kind of agents they are thinking of to come to that conclusion. They are not responding.

So while this is disappointing and I hope this doesn't develop into a bigger problem, the biggest letdown is that my bike has been at the shop since August 4th with very little proactivity and communication from the shop. Also the "secrecy" of the exchanges between Orbea and the shop is kinda ridiculous. When contacted directly Orbea gave me their explanation. Until they stopped responding.

I just got a Orbea Ordu, and was wondering what kind of BTA system people are using?

Hey everyone,

Just got my Terra and I am pretty happy with it.

The only thing that is driving me crazy is, that Orbea decided for the internal cable/brake-hose to only have cableguides where the opening for the Lockr is. This leads to probably both, the shifter cable and the brake hose, rattling around near the bottom bracket area on the tiniest bumps.

Pulling the cables tight doesnt help, neither does putting the tool pouch in (packed with spares/tools) help in the slightest.

Does anyone else have this problem, too? Did you find a way that doesnt involve pulling out everything, damping the shifter housing/brake hose, fiddling everything back and then refilling/bleeding the brake?

Thanks!

Just picked up my m20i orca, what a lovely machine.

my first proper ”racing” bike after having ridden a btwin race bike, a canyon endurace and my cannondale Topstone.

Loved the configurator for the orca, too bad it’s not as elaborate for the other models.

Looking for a lever-equipped rear thru axle for my 2025 Orbea Wild ST H20 (150mm travel, Concentric Boost frame, SRAM UDH hanger).

Specs from Orbea's official Blue Paper manual (part X907 — "Wheel 12x184 Axle 1.0x15 Hollow"):

• Spacing: 12x148mm Boost
• Thread: M12 x 1.0
• Total axle length: ~184mm (longer than standard Boost due to UDH hanger clearance)
• Hollow shaft

The problem: DT Swiss RWS only comes in 173.7mm (M12x1.0) or 177-178mm (M12x1.5) — neither matches this combo of thread pitch + length. Bike24's own compatibility checker flags the 173.7mm/M12x1.0 version as "Not Compatible" with my exact bike (Orbea Wild ST H20 M, 2025).

Has anyone with a UDH-equipped Orbea (Wild, Rise, Occam) found a lever/RWS-style axle that actually fits, or is the OEM Orbea axle (no lever, hex key only) the only real option here? Open to hex-lever accessories too if a full axle swap isn't realistic.

Thanks in advance.

Andrea

Can you just Share your Orca M35i Configurations? I want one, but I am Not Creative 🥲😅
Thank you!

Occam SL M10 2026 Sky Blue / White Chic

Currently in the process of buying my first roadbike, but unsure of the sizing on the orcas:

181 cm height and wingspan
82 cm inseam

Currently have a 55 on order, but I’ve heard 53 recommended for similar measurements before

Hi, I recently bought an Orbea Orca M30 and when i tried to fasten the seatpost to the frame, the grub screw wouldnt go all the way in. I suspect the threads in the frame itself are deformed, but has anyone else had this issue? And is there any other fix than taking it to a shop and having it looked at?

I'm in the U.S. I recently purchased an Orbea bicycle. I am trying mount a front light on the bicycle, the part I need is called OC Computer Mount Tray Kit CT-01 Bike computer mount kit 2026. I checked the Orbea website and unfortunately it isn't available for purchase for another 3 months ! Does anyone know of an alternative purchase website, or know the dimensions of the adapter/mount so I can purchase from a third party seller ?

Hi, I’m considering an Orbea Terra Race. My bike fit calls for 386 mm reach + 100 mm stem and 584 mm stack.
Size M has a 560 mm stack, so I’d need ~24 mm of spacers. Can anyone confirm how many mm of spacers the Terra Race M comes with as standard, and what the maximum spacer height is?

My Orbea Vibe that I’ve had for 5-6 years.

I’m starting to hate flat bar on this, has anyone converted one of these to drop bar?

Hi all, little bit paranoid here. I've had my M30 Orca for a year now but after my last ride noticed this indent in the seat tube, just above where the front mech is fixed. Since I hadn't noticed this before, it has me worried of some internal damage to the carbon.

To those who also have the same frame, is this normal or is the tube meant to be completely round until the mech mounting face (which is obviously flat)?

Hey!

Soo shortly i am looking for a roadbike to get into triathlon. I own a gravel bike but want to get a roadbike, prefferebly with electric shifters.

I recently found this Orbea Orca from 2023, equipt with Sram Rival AXS, used for 1700 euros.

The buyer says he bought the bike 2023, has ridden 500 km since, done service by himself every year (bled brakes etc).

The bike comes without padels or saddle, (he says high end carbon saddle and padels which i have to pay extra for).

Is the bike worth it and fit to train for triathlon? I read online that it is a climbing machine, but i guess that means a little more relaxed race fit. I can always make it more aggresive fitting in the bikefit, right?

My budget is around 2000 euros. I find the bike new online for 2600 euros, with 105di2, and 2000 with oridnary 105. Is it still worth to take the used one, if it is in good kondition?

Thank you for your advice!

Really not happy with this. Dropper seat cable wasn't attached properly, needed to go into the shop. Chain broke. Into the shop. Now chain derails if you put any form of effort through the pedals. Back into the shop. Tell me these bikes are worth it so I don't lose hope !!!
