Orbea Carpe 15

Orbea Carpe 15 - Budget-friendly city and touring racer

If you have to keep an eye on your budget, you should take a closer look at the Orbea Carpe 15. Because with the smaller brother of the excellent Carpe 10 you hardly have to make any concessions, certainly not in terms of function. Essentially, Obea saves on the fork, which is made of aluminum instead of carbon on the Carpe 15. This may make a certain difference in exclusivity, but the theoretical weight disadvantage is hardly noticeable. The Shimano Cues shifting offers enough bandwidth for city and country in combination with the 1 x 9 gear ratio. A precise shifting quality is guaranteed with Shimano anyway. From the market leader also come the hydraulic disc brakes, which work reliably in all weather conditions. The lightweight aluminum frame and the purist-sportive silhouette is typical Orbea. High-quality aluminum mudguards and a StVZO-compliant lighting system from the specialist Spanninga make the everyday suitability perfect. The clever carrier is a development of Orbea and ensures with laterally deep-seated rails that panniers hang at the optimum center of gravity. Touring riders will also be pleased with two bottle cages in the frame triangle. The 38 mm tires roll easily on asphalt, but also tolerate occasional detours onto gravel and gravel paths.

Orbea - High-quality bicycles from Spain

Founded as early as 1840, then still as a weapons forge, Orbea has been one of the most important traditional manufacturers of bicycles in Spain since the 1930s. Based in the bike-crazy Basque country, the company's philosophy has always been to be close to the sport. Fans know the legendary atmosphere on the roads when the Tour de France makes a detour to the Spanish Pyrenees.
