Orbea Terra M31eTeam 1X (2023)

Orbea Terra M31eTeam 1X - Innovative gravel bike with Sram electronic shifting.

It has long been clear that gravel bikes are the most versatile variant of cycling.
Sporty tours on a wide variety of surfaces, from asphalt to gravel. Enjoy nature on secluded forest paths. Even flow trails can be incorporated into the tours. Then there's the subject of bikepacking: be on the road for several days with clever bags on your bike. And last but not least: by simply changing the tyres, a gravel bike can be transformed into a thoroughbred road racer in no time at all. Orbea has developed the Terra precisely for this versatility, which is available with either an aluminium (H series) or carbon frame (M series). The frame was developed from scratch, incorporating all of Orbea's experience from professional cycling.

In the M31eTeam 1X version, the Terra is equipped with the state-of-the-art Sram Rival eTap AXS groupset, where the rear and front derailleurs are electrically operated. The transmission of the shifting impulses from the shift/brake levers to the components is wireless. The precision of the shifting processes is outstanding in any terrain. The Rival hydraulic disc brakes are perfectly matched to the system. Another Orbea trademark are the OC components, developed in the company's own laboratories and used in the cockpit and on the seatpost. One example is the OC Gravel handlebar with optimised top bar position for a more relaxed riding position.

Monocoque carbon frame optimised for off-road use.

Orbea produces its carbon frames in two quality levels. For off-road use, the M31eTeam uses the slightly more robust OMR carbon. The bladder moulding process guarantees that there are no creases or bumps in the carbon mats during production. Because at Orbea they are keen to use as few raw materials as possible. The areas of the bottom bracket and head tube are particularly complex in order to achieve an optimal balance between stiffness and comfort. The Terra frame also offers the greatest possible versatility in terms of wheels and tyres. If the classic 700c Gravel wheels with up to 45 millimetre wide tyres are not comfortable enough for you, you can alternatively mount 650b wheels (27.5 inch) with up to 50 millimetre wide tyres. This means that the Terra is almost poaching in the territory of cross-country mountain bikes.
