Summary

The Orbea Occam is a versatile trail bike praised for its modern geometry, effective suspension, and customizable options through Orbea's MyO program. It excels in smoothing trail chatter and offers a supple ride quality, though some builds may not suit aggressive trail riding. The bike is frequently compared to the Specialized Stumpjumper and Santa Cruz Bronson for its balanced performance.

Pros
  • Modern geometry and effective suspension

  • Customizable through Orbea's MyO program

  • Supple ride quality smoothing trail chatter

  • Excellent handling and climbing efficiency

  • Versatile for mixed terrain with lengthy climbs and fast descents

Cons
  • Some builds may not suit aggressive trail riding

  • Fox 32 fork and narrow rims not ideal for all trail conditions

  • Steeper head angle may not suit those preferring slacker angles for descents

Key Quotes
Despite Orbea’s literal history in making weapons, I didn’t expect its Occam TR to be such a figurative one.

Flow's First Bite: Orbea Occam TR M30

Jun 2016

In the case of Orbea, we’re sure they regret some of their early attempts at dual suspension mountain bikes. Their hardtails have always been tidy, but their past holds some rather nervous, floppy duallies, clearly built with a roadie at the design helm.
