Discover the New Loki Hardtail MTB Bike from Orbea
Orbea (Spain) – "In Norse mythology, Loki is a trickster god. He is a shape shifter and in different stories he assumes multiple forms. Loki is a different kind of bike. And instead of saying it’s tailored for one type of rider, we’re going to go ahead and claim it’s the perfect fun trail bike everyone will enjoy", shared Orbea about the new Loki.

Trail Geometry:


The 2018 Loki is more aggressive, thanks to its 130-mm fork and tougher tires. "Our height and length measurements are both rational and proportional, to ensure that all cyclists can enjoy the impeccable handling of a lean, fun, fast bike, regardless of frame and wheel size", they added.

Hydroformed:


Orbea manipulate the shapes and wall-thickness of their aluminum tubing to increase strength and resistance to unwanted flex. Many of the tubes are butted to save weight in the middle of the tubes, away from the stress of the joints and the weld zones. They are using aluminum technologies as advanced as their carbon manufacturing.

Boost:


430mm chain stays make Loki quick, stiff and responsive. Increasing rear axle spacing to 148mm over the 142mm standard moves the chainline outboard by 3mm, increasing the space available at the bottom bracket.

Digit:


"It’s not a dropper post – it’s a quick adjust post. The patented Orbea Digit Post makes it significantly quicker and easier to stop and adjust saddle height during a ride", stated Orbea.

Double Duty 27+/29:


Double Duty packs two bikes into one platform. Choose between 27+ and 29 wheel sizes in the same frame. 27+ tires are wider than traditional tires and are much higher volume, meaning they can be run at lower pressures. This allows Plus tires to go where regular tires can’t, easily handling light mud and snow or sand, greatly expanding the terrain the riders can cover.
