£8,599, talk about head in the sand 🙂
Very top model that! I just bought a bunch of H10 Occam LT (alloy) for rental and that is way more affordable and a great spec. They ride great and the polished welds mean it’s hard to tell it’s not carbon! My personal bike is the M-Team which is a great spec and a bit cheaper than the M-Ltd. Mine is MyO in Matt raw carbon with gold highlights 🙂
Just to say, you can change stem, tyres etc on the MyO thing when you purchase. There is a 35mm option and lighter tires. Also aluminium or carbon wheels, which might make a massive difference if you found the bike stuff and too reactive for your riding style. And there is a headset spacer that lets you run any stem you want.
I built mine with air shock. I find it more poppy and fun, for me it suits how I use the bike better. Again that’s a MyO option if you want it.
I enjoyed the review Ben. Love my Occam, it’s the first time in years that I’ve chosen one for guiding, it is just so capable and pedals great too.
I suggest read about Orbea's suspension and warranty before making a purchase:
