Discover theOrbea Alma OMX Spirit 24 Frame atEscapaand enjoy every Sendero like never before.
The Orbea Alma OMX Spirit 24 Frameis the perfect foundation for building a bike suited for both weekend rides and XC races. The Alma’s World Cup Geometry is the result of years of designing top-tier XC bikes. The riding position is dynamic, comfortable, and fast. Unlike Trail geometry, which sacrifices precision for endurance, XC geometry is precise and intuitive to deliver maximum power transfer. The angles and dimensions have been carefully selected from a full range of sizes to increase power output while improving efficiency.
Orbea WORLD CUP GEOMETRY
The Alma’s World Cup Geometry is the result of years of designing top-tier XC bikes. The riding position is dynamic, comfortable, and fast. Unlike Trail geometry, which sacrifices precision for durability, XC geometry is precise and intuitive to deliver maximum power transfer. The angles and dimensions have been carefully selected from a full range of sizes to increase power while improving efficiency.
DYNAMIC STRUCTURE
The lower half of the frame bears the vast majority of torsional and lateral loads. That’s why we’ve designed the head tube, top tube, and chainstays to withstand these loads and transfer power to the rear wheel. There’s no doubt about it: high flex resistance in the lower half of the frame directly translates to more watts at the wheel and a feeling of immediate power transfer.
OMX - 830GR (M)
At the OMX launch, we showcased our advancements in designing the lightest and stiffest race frames to riders around the world. The OMX represents the pinnacle of carbon fiber bicycle manufacturing.
THE PEAK OF CARBON MANUFACTURING
Orbea Monocoque X (OMX) frames exclusively combine high-modulus, high-strength carbon fibers. The carbon prepreg sheets are laser-cut to minimize overlaps and excess material. The preforming process, which lasts for hours, ensures optimal compaction with a minimal amount of carbon. For this process, a full EPS mold and latex inserts are used to eliminate any roughness or imperfections.
COMFORT
It is essential to study the frame’s behavior under the rider’s weight in order to adjust how vibrations are transmitted throughout the frame’s upper structure. The new Alma features thinner seatstays and reduced cross-sectional areas and diameters to provide the seat tube with just the right amount of support—and nothing more.
The top tube is robust at its union with the head tube to provide lateral stiffness to the frame, but tapers immediately afterward to eliminate unnecessary material. Thanks to the flexible patterns that carbon layup naturally creates and the use of a minimal amount of material in the top tube and seatstays, we’ve achieved a dynamic and smooth ride that feels like you’re floating over the ground. It’s a subtle sensation, yet one that’s perfectly perceptible and verifiable—and at the end of a grueling race, it can make the difference between the podium and the top 10.
Flat Mount
The low-profile design of our brake mounting system provides the cleanest, stiffest, and lightest integration with brake calipers on the market.
ICR
The internal cable routing is designed to ensure the best possible cable path—free of friction or interference—and is optimized for both mechanical and electronic shifting systems.
BLOCKLOCK STEERING
Acros’ 164° Blocklock limited-turn steering system prevents frame damage caused by impacts to the handlebars or fork. We’ve worked closely with Acros to reduce the frame height (or stack) and improve the integration of steering components on Alma’s monocoque models.
CHAIN SECURITY
Even when the derailleur is perfectly adjusted, the chain can come off while riding over uneven terrain or when changing a wheel. Thanks to the Chain Security mechanism, you can rest assured that the chain won’t get tangled in the bottom bracket shell.
SPIRIT FORK
“Spirit” might sound a bit esoteric. In fact, we’re sure our accountants thought it was a risky name. But for us, the philosophies of Spirit and Alma go hand in hand. Spirit is an essential component that makes Alma the best rigid XC system available on the market.
We know that rigid forks aren’t for everyone, but it’s enough for us that it’s perfect for you. For those who appreciate it, Spirit takes having a carbon fork specifically tuned to Alma’s geometry from “nice to have” to “absolutely essential.” The Spirit fork is compatible with virtually any hardtail bike with a tapered headset and can be customized using the MyO program… Choose from dozens of colors and hundreds of possible combinations to build your perfect bike.
