Expirience with the Orbea ALMA M ELITE

Ludwig Döhl Aesthetically, the ALMA M ELITE is one of the most beautiful hardtails in the world. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Racebike von Orbea. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. Considering that in the range under 4500 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! The guarantee of 25 years proves that Orbea puts a lot of trust in its products.
