The predecessor of this bike won the Cape Epic in 2022, but still had a weakness. The rear triangle was relatively soft. This criticism should be a thing of the past with the OIZ H10. A completely new frame with a more massive rocker-link should significantly increase the stiffness of the frame. On the trail, however, you will feel another groundbreaking innovation above all. Like the Swiss from Scott, the Basques from Orbea are now also saying goodbye to a racefully platform with 100 millimeters of suspension travel. It seems as if the 120 mm suspension travel on the fork also for cross country and marathon riders develop into the new standard. The former "Trail" version of the Oiz disappears with the already downhilly racefully approach completely from the model range. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Downcountry-Bike von Orbea. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
