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 climbing efficiently, though some builds may lack components suited for aggressive trail riding. The bike's handling is precise, making it a favorite for long days in the saddle, despite some noting its suspension could be more progressive for technical descents.

Pros
  • Modern geometry and effective suspension

  • Customizable through Orbea's MyO program

  • Excellent at smoothing trail chatter and climbing

  • Precise handling and comfortable ride

  • Top-notch build options and internal routing

Cons
  • Some builds may lack aggressive trail components

  • Rear suspension could be more progressive

  • Steeper head angle not ideal for all descents

  • Fox 32 fork may feel overmatched on rough terrain

  • Spec might be outdated for aggressive trail biking

Key Quotes

Review | 2020 Orbea Occam M10 - Testing The Basque Beauty On Aussie Trails

Mar 2020

Orbea completely overhauled its Occam trail bike for 2020, using a brand new asymmetric frame design built around 29in wheels and 140mm of travel. Mick took the Occam M10 to Derby and Falls Creek to see how the Spanish brand's latest trail bike performs on some iconic Aussie singletrack. Read on for the full review.

Highs
  • Classy, good-looking frame

  • Neutral handling that's easy to get along with

  • Thoroughly comfortable and efficient climber

  • MyO program offers spec flexibility

Lows
  • Suspension needs fettling to get it balanced

  • Water bottle hits frame

  • The XT mech failed on us

  • Damn rattly brake pads!

Highs
  • Comfortable and efficient climber

  • Custom paintwork at no extra charge

  • High-end spec at a fair price

Lows
  • Stiff and nervous on the descents

  • Dropper post, grips and rear tire are a flop

  • Water bottle only accessible from the left
