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 M-PRO AXS. 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. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Orbea OIZ M-PRO AXS. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. The seating position is sporty. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Orbea sets the bar high!
