Orbea Alma OMX frame, which is the lightest, weighing only 830 grams in size M, or the Orbea Alma OMR frame with a type of carbon and construction that makes it a little heavier, reaching 1,100 grams . Both frames share the same dimensions, have identical geometry and incorporate a new safety and integrity system in the steering, which limits the rotation of the handlebars in the event of a fall, preventing the frame from being hit, called Block Lock.
On the other hand, we have the Hydro , a competitive Orbea Alma frame made of hydroformed aluminum, weighing 1,650 grams, to make up Alma builds with a more economical price. Although the aluminum frame models do not have exactly the geometries of the carbon frames, they share some figures, such as the seat tube angle and head tube angle. The stays, on the other hand, are longer in these versions.
The characteristic curved end shape of the top tube of the Alma frames, one of its hallmarks, is still present in this latest generation.
The 2023 Orbea Alma configurations make this machine a perfect bike for tackling steep mountain slopes. It is reactive, but also capable of tackling technical descents with guarantees, thanks to the new geometry of the model, among many other features renewed in this latest version, such as the wheel clearance for 2.4” tires. Another important improvement, for those who want to face descents more calmly, is the possible incorporation of the dropper seat post (27.2 mm), a component that has become essential for the vast majority of cyclists who have tried it.
And for those looking for maximum rigidity and reactivity, Orbea offers the possibility of mounting a 29-inch rigid carbon fork, without suspension, known as the Orbea Spirit fork . A resulting bicycle, with this assembly, that may not be the most logical for some, but that may make sense on certain routes, in addition to providing a striking aesthetic, to the taste of unconditional cyclists of this type of bicycle.
The latest Alma model also includes a significant renovation of the decorations, graphics and colors of the legendary model.
The height and other measurements of the cyclist will not be a problem, there is an Orbea Alma size S, M, L and XL.
Alma frames have an Orbea lifetime guarantee. As for the prices of the new Orbea Alma 2023, they range from 1,299 euros for the Orbea Alma H30, to 7,999 euros for the Orbea Alma M LTD.
