Orbea Occam LT H20

The 'LT' stands for Long Travel. While the standard Occam is designed for all-around trail riding, the LT version features increased suspension travel—160mm up front and 150mm in the rear—and a more aggressive geometry, making it significantly more capable on steep, technical descents and rougher terrain.

Despite its aggressive downhill capabilities, the Occam LT is a very efficient climber. The 12-speed drivetrain provides a wide gear range for steep ascents, and the suspension platform is tuned to minimize pedal bob, allowing you to pedal comfortably to the top of the trail.

The wheelset is tubeless-ready, which is a major advantage for traction and puncture resistance. While the rims and tires are compatible, you may need to add sealant and ensure the valves are properly seated before your first ride.

The Fox 36 fork and Float X shock are high-performance components that require regular service to maintain their feel. You should plan to perform a basic 'lower leg' service on the fork and an air can service on the shock every 50 to 100 hours of riding, depending on your local trail conditions.

Yes, the hydroformed aluminum frame is built with an asymmetric design specifically to balance stiffness and durability. It is engineered to handle the stresses of aggressive trail and enduro riding while offering a more compliant feel than some carbon alternatives.

Absolutely. The Fox Performance suspension components feature adjustable air pressure and rebound damping, allowing you to tune the bike to your specific body weight and riding preferences. The 3-position lever on the fork and 2-position lever on the shock also let you quickly firm up the suspension for climbing or road transitions.
