Orbea Terra M30 Team 2024 gravel bike ivory white/spicy lime (R14603DI)

If you are looking for a bike designed specifically for riding on gravel, the Orbea Terra M30 Team 2024 will be the perfect choice. This model is neither a modified road bike nor a lighter version of a mountain bike; Terra was designed from the ground up with gravel trails in mind. It adds comfort to every road adventure, enabling exploration of gravel paths and planning long-distance trips. The world is wide open before you, and Terra is ready for any challenge.

By designing the frame from scratch, Orbea was able to solve a problem present in many gravel frames: accommodating different drivetrain options without compromising tire clearance. Thanks to this, Terra offers a wide range of configurations while ensuring optimal performance and riding comfort.

The chain length on the Terra is optimal – long enough to ensure smooth riding, and short enough to provide agility. A longer top tube combined with a shorter stem provides precise handling on terrain. The optimized head tube angle and size-specific adjustments ensure excellent stability and precision. A lower bottom bracket (BB) provides confidence during descents on uneven surfaces, and a longer wheelbase improves stability and comfort.

The Terra fork features a sturdy crown, rounded blade profile, longer legs, and the best carbon shell construction with OMR carbon fiber. This makes the fork deliver the best combination of comfort, tire clearance, and torsional stiffness. All of this makes the bike excel on various surfaces, offering an unparalleled riding experience.

The frame is made from OMR carbon (Orbea Monocoque Race) and uses a monocoque construction, providing exceptional lightness and durability. This design is optimized to increase stiffness and handling precision, which is crucial during dynamic riding on different surfaces. The frame is also compatible with a power meter, which is important for advanced cyclists who pay attention to training details. The PF30 standard allows for greater bottom bracket stiffness, translating into better power transfer.

The Orbea Terra M30 Team 2024 bike is equipped with 28-inch wheels (700c), allowing for fast and efficient riding on both asphalt and gravel roads. The ability to mount wider tires (up to 45 mm) increases the bike’s versatility, allowing it to be adapted to various terrain conditions. Vittoria Terreno Dry CX-gravel G2.0 TNT tires in size 700x38c are an ideal choice for gravel riding. They provide excellent grip and low rolling resistance, which is key on dry and hard-packed surfaces. TNT technology allows for tubeless use, which further enhances riding comfort and reduces the risk of punctures.
