What type of cyclist is the Orbea Alma for?
The Orbea Alma is a mountain bike built for speed and performance. Its design focuses on agility, stiffness, and precision, making it a top-tier choice for Cross Country (XC) racing. In this discipline — characterized by short laps, technical terrain, and fast-paced group rides — the Alma truly shines.
This is not a bike for leisurely rides or relaxed outings. The Alma is for cyclists who want to push their limits, race against the clock, and feel the adrenaline in every pedal stroke. If you're driven by performance and precision, the Orbea Alma is a machine that rewards ambition.
A legendary model from the Basque manufacturer
The Orbea Alma made its debut in 2006 and quickly established itself as a reference in competitive mountain biking. Designed from the start for elite racing, the Alma helped elevate Orbea’s global reputation — especially after Julien Absalon and Jean-Christophe Péraud won gold and silver medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics aboard this model.
A legacy of lightweight performance
Across its generations, the Alma has stayed true to its core values: ultralight frames, high stiffness, and aggressive race-ready geometry. It was one of the first mountain bikes to feature a frame weighing under 1 kilogram. Julien Absalon’s Alma, for example, weighed just 990 grams — a testament to Orbea’s relentless pursuit of performance.
The lowest prices and bargain deals
The Orbea Alma is available in a variety of versions that vary by frame material, components, and year of release. Pricing reflects these differences — but the performance-to-value ratio is one of Alma’s standout features.
