The MyO Program (MyOrbea Custom Design Paint Option) has been removed for the specific model of the terra i was planning on buying. Does anybody know the reason, has this happend before? And more importantly can we expect this to be brought back within a reasonable timeframe lets say a month? Im very frustrated i was looking forward to buying the bike and the stock colours arent anything to look at lime green with purple and brown. Please if anybody has info on this let me know, it would be greatlt appreciated.

Salut à tous,

Je viens de récupérer un Orbea Orca M30 en taille 51 et j’ai un doute assez important sur la taille du cadre.

Je mesure 1m69 avec environ 72 cm d’entrejambe. Le problème est que même avec la tige de selle quasiment au minimum, j’ai l’impression d’être encore trop haut. Ma hauteur de selle idéale serait plutôt autour de 64–65 cm, alors qu’actuellement je suis encore autour de 67 cm avec la configuration d’origine la plus basse, la tige de selle est en butée dans le cadre.

En roulant, j’ai également l’impression d’avoir pas mal de poids sur les mains et de ressentir des tensions dans le dos.

Je précise que je débute sur route et que c’est mon premier vélo de route avec pédales automatiques, donc je ne sais pas encore si mes sensations viennent d’un mauvais réglage ou réellement d’une taille inadaptée.

Est-ce que la taille 51 vous paraît cohérente pour 1m69 / 72 cm d’entrejambe ?

Est-ce que vous pensez qu’il est possible de corriger ça avec la hauteur de selle en la coupant / la potence / le recul, ou est-ce que je suis clairement sur un cadre trop grand ?

Merci pour vos avis 🙏

Hey everyone,

I’m about to order the new Orbea Terra H30 2027, but I'm stuck between sizes L and XL.

My measurements:

• Height: ~185 / 186 cm
• Inseam: ~ 89 cm
• Wingspan: 190 cm (Long limbs, short torso)

Orbea puts me right on the boundary (L: 180–185 cm / XL: 186–191 cm). On paper, the XL geometry jump seems modest horizontally (+6mm reach), but vertical and cockpit stack increase significantly (+29mm stack).

My main concern with the Large is saddle height: with my 89 cm inseam, will the stock 350mm seatpost extend past the minimum insertion mark? Does anyone know the minimum insertion depth for this SP 0.2 Carbon seatpost ?

Would you size down to L (and potentially swap to a longer seatpost) or size up to XL (and potentially swap to a shorter stem)?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a used Orbea Oiz M20 TR (2021–2022) and would love to get some feedback from people who have owned or ridden this bike.

1. Overall Experience & Recommendations**:** How has your experience been with the Oiz TR (120mm)? How does it perform on climbs, punchy XC sections, and flowy trails? Any known issues or long-term maintenance caveats I should be aware of (e.g., the UFO flex-stay rear triangle or internal cable routing)?
2. Sizing Check: I am 170 cm tall (~5'7"). According to Orbea's chart, I fall right in the range for Medium. For those around my height riding an Oiz, how does Medium feel? Does the cockpit feel comfortable, or would you recommend any adjustments (like stem length)?
3. Which option is better?
   • Option A: 2022 model. Upgraded with Bontrager Carbon Wheels, a carbon crankset, and a power meter. However, it has some visible cosmetic paint scratches on the top tube and fork crown (purely cosmetic/paint layer, no structural carbon cracks).
   • Option B: 2021 model. In mint/clean cosmetic condition, but comes entirely stock with aluminum DT Swiss X1900 wheels.

Both are in a similar price bracket. Would you prioritize the upgraded carbon wheelset/power meter despite the paint scratches, or go for the cleaner, scratch-free stock bike?

My riding mainly consists of fire roads, light XC, and doubletracks, with no major jumps or aggressive drops.

Hi, looking to find anyone who can comment on the Orbea Denna bikes - specifically the H-series (aluminium frames I think) rather than the M series (carbon frame). UK based so UK/Eur restrictions (assist to 15.5mph/25kmh).

I'm an older returning cyclist. Have an old Marin Stinson that I rode for around 10 years from about 95, including a couple of bike tours. Really liked the Stinson though a few niggles (eg frame was a bit small for me so ended up with extended seatpost). But I haven't done much cycling since and I'm now about 60, looking to take up again but with a bit of assist. Mix of road and trail, not heavy-duty trail necessarily, but likely to be in areas with some hills.

Would prefer to keep budget in the £2500-£3000 region and will be using cycle2work (Halfords) which does slightly restrict vendors.

My main shortlist contender till recently was Merida eSilex 400 (around £2650) which appealed because of the "e-lite" nature of it (40Nm torque, 250Wh battery, seems similar to a friend's few-year-old Specialized that I rode last year for half an hour), but I'm now not sure if that's wishful thinking and I'd be better with a little more of a boost. Reviews of the Merida online appear to be a mix of the current model and a prior version which had a different motor setup. But I am a bit put off by the iWoc system and its "up only, until you restart at zero" assist level changes, particularly with the top tube button. I would strongly prefer up/down both being directly available and nearer the hand position.

I've now stumbled across the Orbea Denna H50 which looks like it's closer to what I'm envisaging, or H30 if I can justify budget stretch. Denna appeals because of the increased range without needing a range extender (about 420Wh instead of 250Wh), and slightly higher power (to 65Nm as tuned rather than 45Nm). But I can't find many reviews or comments specifically of the H50 or H30, they're mostly of the more-expensive carbon M-series bikes or they don't specify.

If you have a Denna H50 or H30 what are your thoughts on it - anything you really like, anything you really *don't* like, and any showstoppers (from your perspective)? How well does it ride on the occasions where you ride it unassisted? (This in particular - have found a couple of comments saying it rides pretty well without much drag, but they might be talking about the carbon frame model because they have not specified. Am presuming those are a few kg lighter).

Also, one specific simple question which I can't find a definitive answer to - does it have mounting points for a rear rack? I'd be guessing it does but can't find confirmation on the Orbea site; I can only find confirmation online that it doesn't have mounts for a front rack, but I'm much less concerned about that.

Thanks for any insight.

Hello fellow mechanics!

The rear shock on my Orbea Wild is faulty as it no longer holds pressure. Since I’m a heavier rider, I’m considering switching to a coil shock, specifically the Fox DHX2 Factory. My current shock has dimensions of 205x65mm, but the DHX2 is only available in 205x60mm.

How will the difference affect my geometry? Has anyone installed a coil shock on their Orbea Wild? If so, could you share your experiences regarding fit and riding performance?

Thanks in advance for your help!
