The Orbea Alma M-LTD 2026 bike featured here at Escapa stands out for its geometry, which lets you connect with the Sendero. It offers the perfect blend of agile handling, downhill efficiency with the added control of the 110mm fork, and—above all—the comfort of the X-Fader, which absorbs vibrations from the rear triangle and seat tube.
Pure Riding Experience—Less Fatigue
The control of the tube profile and the choice of materials, combined with our X-Fader technology, help absorb vibrations to prevent fatigue on long rides.
X-Fader absorbs vibrations and reduces fatigue.
Acting as a micro-shock absorber, the Vertical seat tube is specially designed to absorb vibrations and impacts, allowing you to pedal harder, faster, and farther. It’s not just about comfort—it’s about being efficient and maintaining control when you need it most.
The magic lies in achieving the perfect balance. Finding just enough vertical flex to smooth out impacts without compromising the explosive acceleration and precise handling that hardtail Riders crave.
The prototypes were tested in our lab and refined in the field with our team of Riders. We rode thousands of kilometers until we achieved the perfect balance.
The result? A few millimeters of precisely tuned damping that delivers the smoothest ride and uncompromising performance.
Cutting-Edge Design
High-Performance Materials Alma’s cutting-edge carbon construction, optimized rear triangle, and Powerspine design provide a great balance between weight and optimal vibration absorption. This means fewer watts lost to fatigue and more watts transferred to the rear wheel.
Advanced Carbon
The most technologically advanced carbon construction available to create the best possible frame. A complex and meticulous process that enhances handling. In a medium size, this painted frame without components weighs 1,080 grams.
Optimized Rear Triangle
The flat shape of the seatstays and chainstays, combined with a unique carbon composition throughout the frame, increases vertical compliance. The flattened tube shapes resist lateral flex, improving power transfer.
Powerspine
The lower part of the frame bears the vast majority of torsional and lateral loads, resisting flex and transmitting more power to the rear wheel. Instantaneous power transfer means impressive acceleration.
2.4" tire clearance
Greater air volume and a larger contact patch mean more grip and a smoother ride.
Stability and Speed
The 67° head angle offers more control on descents and a generous wheelbase for improved stability, while the 75.5° seat tube angle enhances pedaling dynamics, especially on steep climbs.
Shorter vertical seat tube
A shorter vertical seat tube leaves the seatpost more exposed, offering better shock absorption than a narrower dropper post on a longer vertical seat tube.
Lower Top Tube
A lower frame height provides more room to move the bike side-to-side during sprints or in corners—a feature that’s especially useful for shaving seconds off Carrera times.
110mm-travel fork
The Alma’s geometry is designed to work with a 110 mm fork, allowing it to absorb impacts while maintaining a lightweight design.
