Orbea Alma M21-AXS

Yes, this bike is purpose-built for XC racing. Its lightweight carbon frame, aggressive geometry, and 100mm of front suspension are specifically designed to handle steep climbs and technical singletrack with efficiency and precision.

The SRAM GX Eagle AXS system offers incredibly crisp and reliable gear changes, even under load. Because it eliminates cable friction and stretch, you get consistent, instantaneous shifting that requires very little maintenance compared to mechanical setups.

No, the Alma M21-AXS comes equipped with a rigid alloy seatpost to keep the overall weight as low as possible for climbing performance. However, the frame is compatible if you decide to upgrade to a dropper post later.

Yes, the OC XC TEAM wheels are tubeless-ready. While they may ship with tubes, you can easily convert them to a tubeless setup to run lower tire pressures for better traction and puncture protection.

The remote lockout allows you to stiffen the front suspension instantly from the handlebar without taking your hands off the grips. It is a significant advantage on smooth fire roads or steep climbs where you want to eliminate pedal bob and maximize power transfer.

The geometry is performance-oriented and aggressive, designed to put you in an efficient pedaling position. It prioritizes speed and handling on technical terrain, making it ideal for riders who want a responsive, race-ready feel.
