Alma’s World Cup Geometry is born from years of designing world-class XC bikes. The position is aggressive, comfortable and fast. Unlike trail geometry that sacrifices some precison for endurance, XC geometry is precise and intuitive for maximum power transfer. Angles and dimensions are considered carefully across a range of sizes, maximizing power by increasing efficiency.

ICR
Internal Cable Routing is carefully guided along the bst path with no rub or rattle, and is optimised bfor both traditional and electronic shifting systems.

DYNAMIC STRUCTURE

The large majority of torsional and lateral loads are handled by the lower spine of the frame. The headtube, downtube and chainstays resist twisting and transmit power to the rear wheel. There is no doubt about it, resistance to flex int eh bottom of the frame translates directly to more watts to the wheel and a sensation that power transfer is instantaneous.

OC COCKPIT

The Orbea XL Family sports an all-new integrated look with a completely unique OC headset/spacer/stem design. This includes an optional computer mount that is compatible with all major brands using standard adapters OC component collaboration is a detail that completes the end-end feel of Orbea's modern XC bikes.

SPIRIT FORK

A rigid fork isn't for everyone, but it might be perfect for you and that's enough for Orbea - in these cases a carbon fork tuned specifically for your Alma isn't just "nice", it becomes essential. The Spirit fork is compatible with just about any tapered headtube hardtail and is available through the MyO programme - so pick any of a dozen colours in hundreds of colour combinations to match your trusty rig.
