Summary
The Orbea Avant is praised for its comfortable ride, attractive design, and quality components, making it a strong contender in the endurance category. It handles well, especially on fast descents, and offers a smooth, efficient ride with good power delivery on climbs. However, some reviews note stiffness in the frame and less grippy tires as drawbacks.

Good handling and tracking
Quality components

Stiff frame leading to discomfort on rough surfaces
Less grippy tires
Some components could be lighter
The Avant does not fall into this trap: it handles and tracks well, and feels particularly assured on fast descents.
Cycling WeeklyThe Avant feels wonderfully at ease, this is a bike built for big, challenging distances.

Orbea's Avant offers an upright position that might work well for some riders and a stiff ride that feels fast on brisk group rides.

First up: a full disclosure. I’m a sucker for all things Basque. Be it the culture, the heritage, the classy riders that the region seems to continually churn out, the amazing landscapes, or the food -- it all makes me a little romantic, a little misty-eyed. So when the invitation came through from Orbea to attend

'Everything is designed to help the rider go further and longer,’ said Orbea. And that proved pretty accurate.
