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.
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
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
Despite Orbea’s literal history in making weapons, I didn’t expect its Occam TR to be such a figurative one.
BIKE MagazineThe Occam TR’s rear suspension does a superb job of smoothing trail chatter without any detectable pedal feedback.
BIKE MagazineOrbea has upped its trail bike game significantly with the Occam.
VeloNewsThe Orbea Occam TR is a trail bike that clearly has its DNA in XC bikes, making it an ideal partner for long days in the saddle where covering ground is as important as tackling the descents.
BikeRadarThe most striking feature of the new Occam is the asymmetrical frame design.

Trail flyer with a focus on big days in big hills. Buy if you want a comfortable bike for getting out in to the mountains
Efficient platform for logging miles, customisable spec at point of purchase, web pricing, local bike shop convenience
Rear suspension will need volume spacers for more aggressive or heavier riders, tyres aren’t best suited to UK conditions

Despite Orbea's literal history in making weapons, we didn’t expect the Orbea Occam TR M10 to be such a figurative one.

I won’t lie… I didn’t groove with this bike during the first few rides. I read on paper what it was, calculated what I should expect based on decades of perspective gained from riding an endless number of bikes, and then I for some reason inferred that this was going to be similar to other …

Orbea have split their Occam into two bikes: the Occam AM, and the shorter travel Occam TR that we've got here. How does it go? Barney explains

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. But full credit to this Basque brand, they’ve completely flipped that situation, and …
Frame looks tough, stiff and well finished.
Modern geometry, short out back, long up front.
32mm fork.
Crying out for a dropper post at this price.
