Now to get my hands on a Oiz and Terra so I can start understanding the bikes a bit more. Orca Aero to follow 🙂 Where are you located? Need to get hold of a dropout..

Check with CycleLab, i also needed one, and spoke to them end of 2021 and they mentioned that it should arrive in February/March if I recall correctly. I did however get hold of one (not from CycleLab) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJuice Posted November 5, 2022 Share Looks like new Oiz for 2023 https://m.pinkbike.com/news/first-look-2023-orbea-oiz-a-modern-xc-machine.html Always loved the Spanish brand from triathlon, then when working for a group company of Orbea, on the list of bike brands to own.

DieselnDust Posted November 5, 2022 Share subtle changes to keep in vogue with the latest internet driven trends. The numbers look reasonable enough to go up and down quickly. I'm guessing they lowered the antisquat a bit as well. Pricing looks phenomenal value compared to some brands and there's a budget friendly alloy version as well.

D&D your thoughts on the Allied BC40, reading, eyeing that bike the last two months, just very expensive US made.

On paper it’s very similar to the Transition Spur which says a lot and nothing at all. review cons are the linkage can foul knees and thighs which would be a deal breaker for me. Other than that it looks like a great do it all in SA option DJuice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morne Veer Posted December 5, 2022 Share Just took delivery of my Orbea Oiz M10 TR from CWC and can not wait to hit them trails !! I was not convinced with the color from internet imagery, but boy I am VERY impressed. 120mm of travel is more than enough for a XCO wannabee like myself, and I'll have my bread buttered on both sides, as I do enjoy the longer marathon events too. Can already see myself tiptoeing around initially and pulling faces each time I hear the smallest of pebble or stone hit the frame 🙂 Edited December 5, 2022 by Morne Veer Sid the Sloth, JacquesJ, babse and 14 others 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattman Posted February 18, 2023 Share Great reading all of these posts about the Orbea Oiz since it is one I am considering (upgrading from Scott Spark 920). A few months on and I'm assuming there are more hubbers to weigh in on their experience? Cycle lab actively marketing these bikes. Anyone had to invoke the lifetime warranty on frame yet and how was that experience? Looks like good value compared to similar bikes in the range.

Steady Spin Posted February 18, 2023 Share Mine had developed one hell of a creak. I’m suspecting that stupid press fit bottom bracket. Maybe done 600km so far with no issues otherwise. Deore groupset is flawless. Edited February 18, 2023 by Steady Spin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe done 600km so far with no issues otherwise. Deore groupset is flawless. Seems that thankfully, industry is moving away from pressfit BB's, and the 2023 Oiz frames now all come standard with screw in BB's, as with so many other brands doing the same. Fortunately I have not had any squeak or creak BB related issue, but know from experience on other bikes, they do provide you with these quite handsomely. Absolutely in love with the Oiz and it is a more than capable xc racing bike, as it is a marathon bike, and believe me, is a pleasure to lock-out and do your favorite coastal coffee cruise. Orbea are most surely getting stuck into the SA consumer market quickly, with a number of them seen at the recent Trailseeker as well as the Imbuko Big 5 yesterday.

michaelbiker Posted February 19, 2023 Share Anyone upgraded their Oiz from 100mm to 120mm? I am curious as to how much difference you noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
