Expirience with the Orbea OIZ H20

Ludwig Döhl 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 H20. 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. Thanks to a moderate 67 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. On the way to the summit, the OIZ H20 lets it rip. With its 455 bandwidth on the gears and the overall athletic alignment, the on long tours in light terrain competitors got some catching up to do. Orbea gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
