| Features | 26/29: “Big Wheel” or “Small Wheel”? That’s the question! At Orbea, we’ve conducted different tests with both our racing team and novice and experienced riders. Results have shown that performance and fun (each independently from one another) clearly improve with both size extremes. The little ones with small wheels, and the larger ones with 29” wheels. In the middle of the size range, performance, stability and comfort are generally greater with 29” wheels, but some riders have shown a preference for the more sensitive 26” wheels, so you’ll find both options in the M and L sizes. This represents a greater manufacturing effort that few brands would take on; but for us, the important thing is to offer what’s best for each rider.
Fusible Derailleur Dropout: A replaceable rear derailleur hanger can “save” the life of your frame. A replaceable derailleur hanger is essential if it gets hit hard (as the result of a fall, during transport, etc.). The part gets damaged, but it’s a simple matter of replacing it (otherwise, the damaged part could be the frame, in which case the repairs will always be a lot trickier). So this factor may prove more important than it would seem!
Easy Ride Geometry: The ergonomics of All-Use bikes provide improved control, thanks to a lower centre of gravity, a more natural riding position and manoeuvrability that is enhanced by the frame design. It’s while you’re riding that you’ll be surprised by how comfortable the All-Use bike really is and how easy it is to travel over any terrain and in any situation.
Easy Rack: Decide on the spur of the moment if you want to carry weight. If you decide to mount a pack rack, it’s important to point out that this frame is designed for easy mounting, with large, quality bolts (that are still discreet, matching the overall look of the bike).
Lifetime Warranty: Orbea provides a lifetime warranty on every frame. We have total confidence in our products.
Our constant efforts to ensure that Orbea bicycles are of the highest quality enable us to offer you the Orbea Lifetime Warranty. It guards against defects in materials and workmanship. Your warranty is activated using the unique registration number you'll find on the down tube. Once the process is complete, your bike will automatically receive its lifetime warranty. We'll have a record of your bike information should it get stolen, and you'll be able to take part in our drawings and events. You'll also have access to the latest news about Orbea, its sponsored teams and riders, and new product development |
