2018 Orbea Rallon m-team
okay so lets address the elephant in the room. the 35mm mark that hides under a fox sticker on the down tube was the result of a chip in the paint that was sanded back inspect the integrity of the carbon beneath. this happened after a week of owning the bike which pissed me off to say the least but the bike is 100% otherwise! just aesthetically displeasing.
despite this small blemish, this is an unbelievable bike. possibly one of the best 'climbing' enduro bikes on the market and when it comes to down the hill its equally as game changing. these bikes have had British downhill wins, Scottish downhill podiums, ews top 10's and have even been backflippped!
although id like to say this bike has achieved the same it hasn't :( a skatepark injury in February left this bike on the shelf until the summer months so it hasn't seen the use it should have. for example: the chain and cassette aren't even halfway worn! the spec is as follows:
Fox 36 factory
Fox x2 factory
XTR levers XT callipers
Full xo eagle groupo
descendant carbon cranks
Nukeproof horizon bar, stem & pedals
raceface grips BRAND new
selia italia saddle BRAND new
