Expirience with the Orbea ALMA M21

Ludwig Döhl Aesthetically, the ALMA M21 is one of the most beautiful hardtails in the world. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. The seating position is sporty. Anyway: In the uphill, the Racebike von Orbea lets the competitors look outdated. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Orbea puts a lot of trust in its products.
