Bike Performance Guide

Intended Use

XC
"Cross Country (XC)" bikes are designed primarily for cross country racing. XC bikes are very light, and often hardtails, while full suspension XC bikes have less than 4" of travel. XC bikes are designed to respond quickly and are optimized for climbing, thus limiting their ability on steep or technical trails.
"Trail" bikes are designed for longer rides, up to multiple days, over slightly more challenging terrain. Wheel travel ranges from 4-5" (100-140mm), and have handling characteristics slightly more forgiving than XC bikes. With less of an emphasis on weight, Trail Bikes are typically built to handle rougher terrain than dedicated XC bikes both climbing and descending.
"Enduro/All-Mountain (AM)" bikes bridge the gap between XC and FR/DH bikes. Built for challenging terrain, AM bikes usually have 5 to 7 inches of wheel travel, often adjustable. They are designed to be able to climb reasonably well and descend excellently, thus have quite forgiving geometry. All-mountain bikes can handle anything from all-day rides with steep climbs and steep descents, to moderate chairlift/shuttle riding.
"Freeride (FR)" bikes are designed for obstacle clearance and absorbing repeated large impacts from jumping. FR bikes tend to have at least 7 inches (180 mm) of wheel travel. FR components and frames are built for strength, and thus tend to be heavier. They can be ridden uphill, but their geometry makes them difficult to maneuver while traveling at low speeds. Most FR bikes are optimized for tricks and extreme terrain, while they are often pressed into service as downhill bikes.
"Downhill (DH)" bikes typically have eight or more inches (200 mm) of suspension travel, long wheelbases, low centers of gravity, and very forgiving geometry. Cornering traction and control at high speeds are the hallmarks of DH bikes, and thus DH bikes are typically ridden on dedicated trails or racecourses. Most DH bikes have specialized gearing making them extremely inefficient for uphill pedaling.

Fork Travel

3-4"

29ers have dominated elite cross country racing for many years now and for good reason, they are just plain faster. Not only do they roll more efficiently, the improved stability and traction offered by the bigger wheels allows riders to expend less of their energy keeping the bike pointed in the right direction so that energy can be used to propel the bike forward. Orbea was one of the first brands to offer a competitive 29er frame with their highly decorated Alma 29.

For their H70 version of the bike Orbea builds on the World Championship and Olympic Gold Medal winning geometry of its carbon fiber Alma to build a budget friendly aluminum version. That World Cup proven geometry results in a bike that is quick, responsive and carves singletrack with the precision of a sushi knife. There is no need to be a racer to appreciate the ride of the Alma. Engineered in the Basque country of Spain the Alma is made to not only handle the smooth trails of a World Cup XC course but is also made to handle the rugged terrain of Orbea's homeland.

Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and a Suntour XCR fork with remote lockout ensure that the Alma H70 goes down the trail just as well as it goes up it. The Shimano drivetrain provides all the gears you need no matter which way the trail points. Whether you want to give racing a try or are just looking for a high quality hardtail trail bike, the Orbea Alma H70 is a great place to start.
