Orbea Alma H30 vs Orbea Laufey H30

Hello,

I’m trying to figure out which bike to choose.

I mostly go on flat rides—mainly on asphalt, gravel roads, and through forests. Sometimes I do some light singletrack or rides in the low mountains.
I used to ride an NS Bikes Eccentric, but back then it was more for fun—more technical trails, messing around, and jumps.
I don’t ride like that anymore; now it’s mostly rides with my wife.

I don’t care about speed or chasing records. I want a good bike that can handle light terrain or mountains, offers some fun, but won’t be tiring on peaceful backroads or forest trails.
I’m afraid Alma will take the fun out of riding, and it seems to me that Laufey will be more versatile—if I feel like it, I’ll be able to let loose a bit.

Please advise me on what to choose, because I’m really torn.

Is this bike size right for me?

Hello,

I'm 182 cm tall.
It's an NS Bikes Eccentric Lite 2, frame size M.
I'll be using the bike for rides ranging from 10 to 50 km, riding in the woods and on singletrack, and occasionally tackling some gentle hills.
Is this bike a good fit for me?
