Orbea Occam H10 Full Suspension Mountain Bike 2023
Do your friends ask if you intend to ride the chairlift when you invite them out for a ‘few’ park laps? Do your top routes frequently involve pushing up and down trails that aren’t on any map? Do your favorite rides begin or end with headlamps, an ice chest and great friends? Does your bike have to do everything well to get you there and back again? If you think you might be this rider, then Occam should be your bike.
YOUR SUSPENSION, YOUR WAY
The best modern trail bikes are used for an impressive variety of terrain and need to be adaptable. OCCAM is designed to work well with 140mm or 150mm front and rear travel and the progressive rear suspension works well with either an air or a coil shock.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
Occam has Orbea’s latest, fully internal cable routing, using silicon plugs at the frame entry and exit points and clever conduits linking the front and rear triangle so your cables are fully protected.
ASYMMETRICAL DESIGN
Instead of using a less-efficient “shock tunnel,” the Occam offsets the shock to the left side of the frame, allowing the right-side support to be more central and more efficiently deal with the suspension forces acting on the front triangle. This solution enables us to tune the stiffness of this high-stress area without adding unnecessary weight.
THE ASYMMETRIC/OFFSET DESIGN OFFERS UNIQUE ADVANTAGES BEYOND STIFFNESS AND LOW WEIGHT.
Avoiding an interrupted seat tube gives more space for dropper posts plus improves access to the shock controls. Additionally, the tidy design leaves room for a water bottle with easy left-side access.
LINKAGE UPDATE
Occam uses a new two-part linkage design. Fewer pieces mean fewer interfaces, greater rigidity and a lower chance of something working loose. Additionally we have created a space in the axel and filled it with a handy 4 key multi-tool which is held securely in place with magnets. Always have the most-used tools close at hand for quick tweaks.
NEXT GENERATION ALUMINIUM FRAMES
Orbea use aluminum manufacturing and material technologies that are every bit as advanced as their carbon processes. High-quality aluminum tubing undergoes processes to align the grain structure before undergoing an advanced hydroforming process giving precision control of the shape and wall thicknesses. These processes increase strength and allow Orbea to fine-tune the rigidity while optimizing frame weights. Many tubes are double or triple-butted, saving weight in the areas away from the stress of the joints and the weld zones.
Using aluminum technologies as advanced as their carbon manufacturing ensures Orbea aluminum bikes are never second-best.
TRAIL GEOMETRY
- Slacker head angle – greater stability
- Lower bottom bracket – confident cornering
- Longer reach – room to move while maintaining balance
- Longer wheelbase – Stability at high speeds
- Steep seat angle – proper pedaling position
