A more capable TerraOrbea says this bike is more capable, covering a wide range of uses. It can be completelycustomized for different terrains. Thanks to its options for personalization, its geometry wasdesigned for comfort and precision. No matter where you are, you can configure it howeveryou like to make it a perfect fit for you.Proof of its capacity is the ability to mount 700c wheels with tires as wide as 45 mm when wewant speed and efficiency on bumpy roads. Or 650B wheels with tires of up to 50 mm, ifwhat we want is durability, traction and extreme comfort, particularly recommended for lightbikepacking.Just the opposite of most gravel bicycles, Terra’s specific frame allows a wide range ofbrackets and tires without sacrificing wheel arch. Its design with asymmetrical chainstaysmeans you can choose whatever tooth configuration you want for a 1X or 2X drive-train ,where the small chainring can have a diameter as large as 34T.Comfort and control in every circumstanceThe gravel discipline means that today you’re riding on the road and trails, and tomorrow ondirt and gravel. Your bicycle needs to be comfortable and give you the control you need inany of these situations.To pull this off, Orbea has worked meticulously to adjust the rigidity of the frame and thusensure the rider’s comfort, regardless of the terrain that lies ahead. Its shorter seat tube at amore relaxed angle permits adequate flex of the 27.2 mm seatpost mounted on it.The amount of material in the seat tube and bottom bracket has been adjusted to providejust the right amount of rigidity. The Terra also has a specific, longer fork that helps absorbimpacts and vibrations from a wide variety of terrain.Specific geometry for gravelFrom this blank slate came an entirely revamped geometry, making the bike longer and tallerand giving the rider an optimal position of precision and control in all 6 sizes available,ranging from XS to XXL.The chainstays were shortened to 420 mm to optimize agility and acceleration. The height ofthe bottom bracket was lowered to 78 mm for greater stability and control on fast, uneventerrain. To make it more manageable, the new Terra has a longer reach, combined with shorter stems and an optimized head angle, resulting in a specific trail length for each size.Everything you need with youLockr is what Orbea calls the storage space designed for the new Terra. A port in the framelets you store a spare tube, pump, a Co2 cartridge or tools.In addition to space for two bottle holders on all sizes, the frame has a ton of anchoringpoints to meet your every need: under the diagonal tube for accessories and on the throughaxles for any kind of fenders, ensuring a wheel arch of up to 35 mm.The wiring is another characteristic that received a lot of attention in the form of a clean,attractive and quiet solution that is perfectly compatible with carrying bags on the frame orhandlebars for light bikepacking adventures.The power of personalizationThe Terra range has seven carbon models in three different base colors.
