The curious story of Orbea bikes.
It is interesting to note that the history of Orbea is indeed unique. Originally, the company was a firearms manufacturing factory. However, over time, Orbea transformed itself to become an iconic brand in the world of cycling. Based in the historic city of Eibar, in the heart of the Basque Country, Orbea embodies the character and identity of a region while positioning itself at the forefront of the cycling industry. With cutting-edge technology and competitive products, Orbea competes with the world's leading bicycle manufacturers.
The Orbea brand was born in 1840 by selling a product unrelated to cycling, namely pistols and firearms. It was in 1930 that the company decided to switch industries and began manufacturing bicycles, thus becoming the supplier for some of the best Spanish cyclists of the time. Today, it is considered one of the most reliable brands in the market, and for good reason. Orbea has successfully applied its expertise from the world of high-level competition to an increasingly demanding market.
After humble beginnings, Orbea has experienced constant expansion and growth while remaining at the forefront of bicycle design innovation. The brand has created several iconic models, such as the Orbea Orca and Orbea Alma, which have been widely acclaimed for their exceptional performance and meticulous aesthetics.
Orbea’s key models.
Currently, Orbea offers a wide range of high-quality bicycles, covering road cycling, mountain biking, and triathlon. These bikes are recognized for their exceptional maneuverability and provide an optimal riding experience, whether for beginner cyclists or the most demanding and experienced competitors.
Some of their models have already become classics on the roads and trails. This is the case with the Orbea Orca, the flagship of the Spanish manufacturer's road bike range. Its name is actually a combination of Orbea and Carbon.
Another icon of the brand is the Orbea Terra, their gravel model. Designed to tackle a variety of terrains, it offers a unique combination of performance on off-road paths.
Outside of road cycling, the brand made its entry into the mountain biking market in the 1980s and has since become a reference, whether in the professional competition field or for passionate amateurs. For speed enthusiasts off the beaten path, Orbea offers the Orbea Alma and Orbea Oiz models, providing various configurations to meet each rider's specific requirements.
For those who want to experience the thrills of technical trails and the most inaccessible paths, there is the Orbea Rallon, a model designed for enduro riding. Orbea's most versatile mountain bike is the Occam, a true full-suspension all-mountain bike for backcountry touring and trail riding.

Which cyclists have ridden with Orbea?
The Spanish brand has a long history of involvement with high-level cycling. Orbea equipped half of the peloton that took part in the first Vuelta Ciclista a España in 1935, being the bike of the first great idol of Spanish cycling, Mariano Cañardo.
It was with Orbea that Pedro Delgado won his first Vuelta a España in 1985, and it was also with Orbea that the myth of Marino Lejarreta developed within the Caja Rural team. Faced with market saturation in the 1990s, the brand chose to focus on high-quality models that stood out. This is how the iconic Orca model was born, an award-winning bike that marked the success of the Basque company, also accompanying the Euskaltel team.
The explosion of the mountain bike market in the 1990s did not go unnoticed by Orbea. Its engineers focused on the design and development of competition models.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the greatest mountain biker in history, Julien Absalon, won the gold medal on an Orbea, as did Samuel Sánchez in the road race.
In recent years, Orbea has sponsored teams such as Vital Concept-B&B Hotels and Cofidis.
Where are Orbea bikes manufactured?
Orbea bikes are manufactured in Spain, where the company is headquartered. Orbea has its own production facilities located in Mallabia, in the Basque Country, where a significant portion of their bikes is manufactured. The brand also has manufacturing partners in Asia, who participate in the production of certain specific models.
