Orbea: a cooperative with roots in 1840

The company was founded in 1840 in Eibar by the Orbea brothers as an arms maker and switched to bicycles in 1930. In 1969 the employees bought it, turned it into a cooperative and moved it to Mallabia, where Orbea still has its headquarters and main factory; the bikes are assembled in Spain and Portugal. Orbea is one of the largest Spanish bike brands and the long-time supplier of the Basque professional team Euskaltel-Euskadi. It is known for the MyO programme, which lets buyers choose the colours and parts of their bike, and for the light Rise e-mountain bikes with the Shimano EP801 motor and Orbea's RS tune.

How to choose an Orbea bike

• Suspension travel and purpose: Alma and Oiz are for XC and marathon, Laufey and Occam LT for trail, Rallon for enduro. More travel means more comfort downhill and a little more weight uphill.
• Rise or Wild: the Rise is a light e-bike with a natural feel and a smaller battery (420 or 630 Wh), the Wild has a stronger motor and a battery of up to 750 Wh for long, steep climbs.
• Carbon or aluminium: the letter M marks a carbon frame, H an aluminium one. Carbon is lighter and more responsive, aluminium more affordable and durable.
• Size: Orbea gives a recommended rider height for sizes S to XL on every model; for kids' bikes choose by wheel size (16, 20, 24 or 27.5 inch) and the child's leg length.
