The new Orbea Occam LT

The Orbea Occam was once solely a trail full-suspension rig. In its LT version, it now boasts 160 millimeters of travel upfront and a coil shock in the rear for the first time. This move sends a clear message: the Spaniards are elevating the Occam LT 2024 to the pantheon of Enduro bikes.

With 160mm of travel in the fork, the new Orbea Occam LT clearly steps out of the shadows and into a league of its own, transcending its previous category boundaries. While product managers have further refined the SL version of the new 2024 Occam for touring, its big brother has evolved into a formidable Enduro rig. The disparity between the Occam SL with 140mm of travel and the Occam LT has never been as pronounced as in the latest iteration. We think it’s sheer brilliance! This sharp differentiation caters perfectly to various riding styles, with a 20mm travel difference in the fork making a definitive cut between two disciplines. The Orbea Occam LT isn’t just another lukewarm jack-of-all-trades; it’s a scorching Enduro machine. We’ve compiled all the details on the new Orbea Occam SL, featuring 140mm of travel, in a separate article for your convenience.

While the Occam SL models have been fine-tuned for weight-saving performance, the focus for the Occam LTs is squarely on downhill prowess. Geometry shifts to a slacker angle (see details below). Suspension components beef up. Tires get more aggressive. Features like the storage compartment and cable routing remain consistent across both Occam variations.
