New Orbea Rallon Gravity Bike

New Orbea Rallon Gravity Bike
Orbea (Spain) – “It’s the difference between the tentative first go of the year and the ripping third lap of a midsummer day. It’s the ease of knowing your suspension is dialed. It’s a boost of confidence, speed and control when a bit more of any could make a winning formula. Enduralin is the extra bit of fun that turns a good ride into a great one – the shouting of the crowd, a flow state of euphoria, cowbells, chainsaws, accelerated reaction time and enhanced perception. It’s the difference between a Good Time and All-Time.”

Monocoque-OMR:


Orbea Monocoque Race (OMR) frames blend high modulus fibers and high strength fibers exclusively. Prepreg carbon sheets are laser cut to minimize excess materials and overlap, and hours of pre-moulding ensure optimal compaction with the smallest amount of carbon. A full EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) mold helps eliminate wrinkles and voids.

Concentric Boost:
Increasing rear axle spacing to 148mm over the 142mm standard moves the chainline outboard by 3mm, increasing the space available at the bottom bracket. This doesn’t sound like much but means that tire clearance an be increased without sacrificing drivetrain clearance or swingarm rigidity. All of it adds up to more durability, nimble handling and a bike that tracks better through rough terrain.

Asymmetry Ergonomics:
The asymmetric/offset design offers unique advantages beyond stiffness and low weight. The shock is mounted in a position that offers incredibly easy access to damper controls, and without a frame support in the way, adjusting progressivity with volume spacers is easy to do right on the bike.

Lower Standover:
The 12mm offset of the shock allows the vertical distance taken up by the top tube, shock and frame reinforcement to be compressed. The top tube is lower for extremely low standover.

Pure Enduro Geometry:
  • SLACK HEAD ANGLE
  • Long Cockpit
  • Adjustable Geometry
  • Long Wheelbase Steep Seat Angle
  • Low Bottom Bracket Short Chainstays
  • Great stability at speed through rough terrain
  • Optimum balance and weight distribution
  • A simple rotation of the shock mount pin drops the BB 7mm and slackens angles by .5º

OffSet Pivot Link:
Rallon's concentric boost suspension, provides unique freedom to our engineers to finely design the kinematics so that pedalling efficiency, small bump sensibility, suspension progressivity and rear system stiffness to weight ratio can be independently optimized. A high main pivot point provides minimum pedalling energy losses at the same time the seat stays and linkage positioning ensure just the right progressivity for outstanding bumps absorption and ultimate grip and control. The suspension provides just the right progressivity (10%) so that can be used with any of the air or coil specifically tailor tuned Fox shox, ensuring every rider gets the maximum performance out of the box.
