Expirience with the Orbea ALMA M LTD

Ludwig Döhl Aesthetically, the ALMA M LTD is one of the most beautiful hardtails in the world. We really liked the jaw-dropping weight of the complete bike. With 8 kg, the Orbea ALMA M LTD is a real lightweight. With its geometry, the Orbea Hardtail is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. If you love flying down steep, rocky and loamy trails, the ALMA M LTD doesn't really suit you. Other manufacturers build Racebike in the same price range that are more focused on descends. But the Racebike of Orbea still has an ace up its sleeve: compared to their direct competitors, Orbea installed higher-quality wheels. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
