Orbea Alma M10 27 (2014)

Some bikes are made for comfort. Others, like the Alma M10, are made for the express purpose of going as fast as possible. We build the Alma Race carbon fiber frame for this very purpose. It’s lighter than ever, and it benefits from new geometry that makes it more stable at speed, yet it carves twisty singletrack like never before. We outfit it with a Shimano XT 10-speed drivetrain, with one exception – the XTR Shadow Plus rear derailleur. It’s there to ensure proper chain tension over rough trails, and it is but one detail here that guarantees that all you’ll have to do on race day is show up fit and be the first to the singletrack.
