Orbea Alma M30 (2022)

Orbea Alma M30 - Our entry into the Orbea Carbon Class

Hardly any other manufacturer besides Orbea offers such a wide range of models in the sporty CrossCountry segment. So if you're more of a competition type, or if you're generally performance-oriented when it comes to biking, then you should take a closer look at the models in the Alma series. The Alma hardtails are the counterpart to the full-suspension Oiz and 100% fulfil the wishes of cross-country riders who, in addition to ambitious training rides, also have a mountain bike race or a marathon in their schedule from time to time. The Alma combines an efficient and comfortable riding position with high-traction 29-inch wheels. As usual with Orbea, the series is divided into H models with aluminium frames and M models with carbon frames. And: the higher the index number, the cheaper the equipment. The Alma M30 impressively demonstrates Orbea's high technical standard in the production of carbon frames. The OMR frame in monocoque construction uses the bladder moulding process. It ensures that no wrinkles or unevenness occur in the carbon mats and thus always uses as little raw material as possible. The frame of the Alma M30 in size M weighs just 1100 grams. The ICR system ensures that the cables run smoothly and free of rattling noises inside the frame. Durability and thus sustainability are writ large at Orbea: A standard chain guard prevents the chain from falling inwards onto the bottom bracket and damaging the carbon structure. The developers have made sure that the frame offers sufficient tyre clearance - even for wider tyres than the 2.20 inch tyres commonly used in CrossCountry. Another clever detail: a universal UDH derailleur hanger is used, which can be easily procured in case of a defect. This version of the Alma M30 comes with a lightweight RockShox SID SL suspension fork, top Shimano XT 1x12 gears and reliable Shimano Deore disc brakes. Even the pros swear by the tyres from specialist Maxxis. A special feature of Orbea are the high-quality, tuned OC components from our own company. For example, the handlebar/stem combination was developed with a new, integrated design. In addition, there is the OC2 seatpost and the lightweight OC1 tubeless-ready wheelset.
