Orbea Alma M-LTD

While the Alma M-LTD is engineered for high-speed cross-country racing, its geometry and 110mm suspension make it a capable and fun machine for spirited trail riding. It is best suited for riders who prioritize efficiency, climbing speed, and precise handling over plush, long-travel comfort.

The extra 10mm of travel provides a noticeable boost in confidence on technical descents and rougher terrain without sacrificing the bike's climbing efficiency. It slackens the head angle slightly, offering more stability when the trail gets steep or unpredictable.

The frame uses specific carbon layup and tube profiling designed to dampen trail chatter, which helps reduce rider fatigue on longer rides. While it is incredibly lightweight, this vibration damping is a key feature that makes the bike feel less harsh than traditional, stiffer carbon hardtails.

The SRAM AXS system provides precise, consistent gear changes with the push of a button, eliminating the need for traditional shift cables. It is highly reliable, but you will need to keep the derailleur battery charged to ensure uninterrupted performance.

Yes, the bike uses standard Boost 12x148 spacing, making it compatible with a wide range of aftermarket wheelsets and tires. The included Oquo wheels and Pirelli tires are high-performance race setups, but the frame is ready to accommodate your preferred XC or light trail rubber.

Yes, the frame features internal cable routing that supports the installation of a dropper post. Given the bike's capable geometry, many riders choose to add one to improve their descending confidence on technical terrain.
