| Features | - “Big Wheel” or “Small Wheel”? That’s the question! At Orbea, we’ve conducted different tests with both our racing team and novice and experienced riders. Results have shown that performance and fun (each independently from one another) clearly improve with both size extremes. The little ones with small wheels, and the larger ones with 29” wheels. In the middle of the size range, performance, stability and comfort are generally greater with 29” wheels, but some riders have shown a preference for the more sensitive 27” wheels, so you’ll find both options in the M and L sizes. This represents a greater manufacturing effort that few brands would take on; but for us, the important thing is to offer what’s best for each rider. - A replaceable rear derailleur hanger can “save” the life of your frame. A replaceable derailleur hanger is essential if it gets hit hard (as the result of a fall, during transport, etc.). The part gets damaged, but it’s a simple matter of replacing it (otherwise, the damaged part could be the frame, in which case the repairs will always be a lot trickier). So this factor may prove more important than it would seem! - Decide on the spur of the moment if you want to carry weight. If you decide to mount a pack rack, it’s important to point out that this frame is designed for easy mounting, with large, quality bolts (that are still discreet, matching the overall look of the bike). |
