Stephan Posted March 29, 2022 Share Having followed the Epic quite closely I was super happy to see Speed Company Racing win on the last day. Their Orbea Oiz made a good impression as well, and I see Orbea are quick to capitalise on the success. https://www.orbea.com/us-en/bicycles/mountain/oiz/ Out of interest, how much are we talking about more or less?

ACM Posted March 30, 2022 Share Awesome to see a more ‘unknown’ brand on top. Underdog racers on underdog racing machines. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted March 30, 2022 Share Orbea road and mtb's were very popular in SA between 1998 and 2010, there after they disappeared as the new distributor was more focused on the triathlon bikes Jbr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morne Veer Posted March 31, 2022 Share It comes down for most to what bikes (brands) are available easily in your country and on any given day available on shop floors. There are some very good / strong international brands out there, which for whatever reason are not imported by various countries, and if they have in past, not in vigour. Orbea is a good example, who as someone else noted, has massive support and market share in Europe and elsewhere, but in SA, you are would hardly see them at your weekly Trailseeker event, among all the other brands we've become accustomed to in SA. As for Orbea, the company was founded towards the end of 1800's. They have won many international bike and brand competitions over the years, such as brand of the year and last year their E-bike (Rise) won the International Design and Innovation Award. They have a number of professional road and MTB team they sponsor, and one will always remember the great success of Julian Absolon when he was racing to victory after victory on the XCO World Cup circuits some years back. Excited to see the full range of their road and mtbs hit our shores - next shipment of stock said to arrive with CWC and CycleLab in the 3rd week of April. babse, DieselnDust, justinafrika and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRG Posted March 31, 2022 Share The Oiz, as ridden at the Epic by Speedcompany, does not put a foot wrong. 6 Months down the line, and no complaints! There are many great bikes out there and this is one of them! justinafrika 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted March 31, 2022 Share I've just become an Orbea dealer over here. Amazing bikes and competitive pricing. Now to get my hands on a Oiz and Terra so I can start understanding the bikes a bit more. Orca Aero to follow :-) justinafrika and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbyB Posted March 31, 2022 Share I would love to see a shoot out between the Orbea Oiz and the new Lapierre XR 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
