Modern trail bikes are used for an impressive variety of rides. Some riders use them to climb thousands of meters on huge rides, others weave in and out of bike parks and jumps during their daily adventures. The Orbea Occam LT is the wilder side of Occam thanks to more aggressive geometry, Fox 36 forks, and 10 mm more travel. Occam LT is hugely capable but also more versatile than a full-on enduro bike with efficient pedaling for all-day rides. The sturdy Fox 36 fork slackens the Occam LT’s head angle by 0.5º, giving it an even more self assured stance.

Instead of using a less-efficient “shock tunnel,” the Occam offsets the shock to the left side of the frame, allowing the right-side support to be more central and more efficiently deal with the suspension forces acting on the front triangle. This solution enables us to tune the stiffness of this high-stress area without adding unnecessary weight.

We 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. Orbea Monocoque Race (OMR) carbon frames add high modulus and high strength fibers to a standard layup to improve stiffness-to-weight ratios. Bladder molding with EPS forms and PU headtube and bottom bracket inserts stop wrinkling and unconformities in critical zones, allowing less carbon to be used while maintaining strength.
