Gravel has grown from a niche activity to one of the most dynamic cycling disciplines in the world. Its appeal lies in the freedom to explore routes beyond the tarmac while still offering the thrill of competition. Today, gravel can be divided into two categories: adventure and speed.
Racing is part of the very essence of Orbea. Its history is marked by the development of innovative products and by accompanying elite athletes on their path to victory. It is with this philosophy that the brand launches into the competitive Gravel category, with a group of high-level athletes who will represent Orbea in the most prestigious events in the world.
