Orbea Alma’s World Cup Geometry is born from years of designing world-class XC bikes. The position is aggressive, comfortable and fast. Unlike trail geometry that sacrifices some precison for endurance, XC geometry is precise and intuitive for maximum power transfer. Angles and dimensions are considered carefully across a range of sizes, maximizing power by increasing efficiency. Alma is light, fast, and it delivers an even greater return. Few hardtail XC bikes today are as fun and capable going uphill.

Orbea’s engineers use the most technologically advanced carbon construction available to make the most sophisticated frame possible. A complex and painstaking process with results you will appreciate in the saddle. OMX (Orbea Monocoque X) frames combine only high modulus and high strength fibers. The carbon sheets are laser-cut to reduce excess material and overlaps, then hours of pre-moulding ensure optimal compaction with a minimum amount of carbon. A full EPS (expanded polystyrene) mould and latex inserts are used to eliminate creases and imperfections.
