NEW Orbea Occam | The World's Most Customisable Mountain Bike?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มิ.ย. 2019
- Is this the world's most customisable off the peg mountain bike? Senior Technical Editor Tom Marvin certainly thinks so. Orbea have given their trail-focussed Occam a whole new frame, 140mm of travel and 29" wheels. With their MyO program, not only can customers change a range of the bike's componentry to suit their needs, but can also get creative with the ability to customise the paint-job on the bike.
Tom took the M10 model for two days of rough, rocky riding in the Huesca region of Spain, finishing on the EWS stages of Ainsa to get the low-down on the new bike.
What do you think to the new Orbea Occam? Let us know in the comments!

Muy buena bici . What a machine¡¡¡
Very good videos here in bike radar. Good work.
black/black gloss with gold logos is what I ordered. At 5'9" I tried the large and found it too tall, so went with medium.
Silver with green lime! With black decals 😁
I love my Occam. I got last year's TR 29er and it's a ripper. Fast, light and fun as hell. Also has that exclusivity factor as very few UK riders know much about the brand.
no?. In Spain is super popular. However also some small brands of UK here in Spain are unknown by the majority. Orbea makes really good bikes. There is also another brand of the same region ( pais vasco) called BH. Which is also famous here in Spain.
@@alejandromoranbarroso5494 I think the Road bikes are maybe a little more common. I've only seen one other Occam. They are fantastic bikes I love mine and will hopefully buy the Oiz next year.
The new Oiz is a rocket!, I should know, I still have the prev. model(my 2018) as well.
Enjoy it¡¡.
primary: dark green
Secondary: black
Decals: red
Red lyrik of course!
Am I from Mars or what but stack height is a make it or break it along with other angles you gave out. Nice job I do enjoy vids, keep up good work.
Silver looks nice..with black
You said that the suspension is a four bar but it's actually a linkage driven single pivot. Great review though guys!
Still very Specialized looking frame. Bit Im a fan.. wish listed.
I have the Occam am. I prefer my bike over the new one tbh because it's 27.5 and it's more travel in the rear. 150mm in the front. Only down side is I couldn't customise the colour but it still looks great.
Hey man...there is a massive difference between your occam and this new occam. It is not about travel, although the difference is minimal, it is compensated by the bigger sized back wheel; but no, the real(and important) diff comes from geometry!, check the reach, the stack, the ST height, the wheelbase. All of these concur to make a massive difference on the trail.
What you have is more in line with the (new) 120mm OIZ TR; and I should know, as I have one. It is very funny when an XC bike has a better geometry than my (first) big mountain FS bike from 5 years ago.
My recco, do the up-date and you'll feel the diff immediately, trust me!, new school geo is the bomb! 💪🏿
Do you think the 34mm 140mm fork will be flexing a lot. ?In a trail use.Do You recommend going for the 36?. Thanks.
after your suspension adjustments, did it feel plush with good small bump COMPLIANCE? I like a plush ride and some of the reviews of this bike lead me to believe it cannot be tuned plush. Do you have feedback on this?
How does it corner though, what's it like on switch backs?
Nice bike .
How would you compare to the stumpjumper overall.
Love the reviews.

As far as I can tell from only a few rides on the Orbea: The Stumpjumper is the more playful bike where the occam is a little bit more focused and stays a little calmer through rougher terrain. It is still poppy and a lot of fun though. In the uphill the occam is the better choice imo because of the steeper seatangle and the lower front. Both have loads of grip though and the stumpjumper is a capable climber as well, just a little more slugish. So it comes down to personal preference: Do you want the more playfull bike or really like the swat stuff? Take the stumpy. If not you're probably better of with the occam but you won't really go wrong either way (referring to the regular stumpjumper of course, not the evo)
Thank you for your input.
Much appreciated
Adrian K. Nice review bro! Thanks!
Hi / could you point me in the right direction please, I’m looking to purchase a orbea occam h20 im 5ft 9 which would you recommend medium/ large ? I do urban riding city and trails . Thanks
What size is your Occam in? Because I hesitate between M and L I am 1m70 but I am only 15 years old so I can still grow.
Weight?
Just ordered a mat dark Green with orange stickers🤪
Hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching!
The old brake mount was also notorious for not clearing calipers.
''They've narrowed the type of rider to tune the bike for'? Bollocks - this bike is so capable that they had to tune it to handle an even wider range of things, but the platform is so good it can do all of those.
Trying to decide, Orbea Occam, or Yeti SB 130. Any thoughts???
I'm in the same boat rn bro, lemme know what you decided
@@churnstyle went with the Occam and love it...awesome bike
Can you choose an alu frame un MyO?
No
Yes
Looks like a specialized camber

Nice vid, stellar looking bike imo. That's a single pivot though, not a four bar...
There is a pivot on the rear dropout like on treks abp suspension
@@CharlieICEdreamz haha yes exactly, your point being?
@@CharlieICEdreamz www.bikeradar.com/features/the-ultimate-guide-to-mountain-bike-rear-suspension-systems/ just found out that bikeradar have their own guide. This orbea as well as the treks are linkage driven single pivots
If there is more than 1 pivot on the chainstay it makes it a four bar . If the pivot was above the dropout on the seatstay it would make it a single pivot as the rear axle would rotate around the one pivot on the chainstay
@@CharlieICEdreamz m8 it still rotates around the pivot above the bb
My god are you guys not using GoPro hero 7? The footage is way too shaky
Nice little Stumpjumper
it has the same travel 150/140 and slacker geo actually. The occam has a 66°(with 140mm fork) and 65.5 °(with 150mm fork) head tube angle. So in same suspension travel is 1° degree slacker than the stumpy. I wouldn't call it "little stumpy" exactly. 🤔💁♀️
Yea but it has a longer wheelbase, steeper seat angle, a bit slacker, longer reach, better anti-squat, better build kit and cheaper.
Just bought a Rallon...
I was going to order one next week. Glad I held off
@@Willemmoseley I think I'm alright with it. I got an amazing price on the Rallon and the Occam isn't available until the very end of september as far as I can tell. The GEO is also very similar, and I get burlier components on the rallon/it looks nicer than the occam imo. Let me know how the occam is!
I need to try and spend some more time on my friend's Rallon but, for me, it is twich-ier and more trail-ish than my Sanction(then again, there are not many burlier bikes out there); in my opinion(as a mediocre rider), the current rallon feels too light and "xc-ish" for big enduro bike. Since he got it, I told him that it would have been better to wait for the .2 version of it(more travel, slacken HA, plusher feeling bike); now, it also depends of what you are used to ..., I come from a brute of a bike.., he comes from road and xc. His biggest bike, before the rallon, was the occam tr(120mm); he is very pleased...I am a little skeptic and I'll wait for the .2 version. Already, the new Occam has a better geo than the current Rallon..so..🤷🏿♂️
@@eugenux Why do you say the Occam has better Geo? 0.5 more STA with a 150mm fork? I mean you're not going to notice any difference between those. I test rode most long travel bikes this winter and the rallon was the most stable of them - I guess it depends on user preference and also setup of the suspension.
You guys need the new GoPro....
1st
The most customizable bikes are Propain Bicycles...
Best value too,
Just came here to say that.
Haha
Payed commercial/sponsored content? No wonder its supposedly sooo good....👎
No. All of our sponsored content is clearly marked as such in the first line of the description. If you don't see it then no money has changed hands. No exceptions.
Jeremy Smith what's the point in watching reviews when i have to testride every bike myself?
Who comes up with these horrible names?
the spanish
Razor-sharp intellects?
is named occam becouse the Ockham's knife. You know, the philosopher. He said that in the majority of cases the most simple solution is always the best one and the most effective. Is a bike for anything. Any trail , any rider.
It’s either customisable or off the shelf. It can’t be both 🤷🏻♂️
yes it can and yes it is.
@@b45her is it fk
Frame kinda ugly
