Review: The 2021 Orbea Oiz Is a Race Bike With an Ace up Its Sleeve

With the latest Oiz, Orbea has produced one of the most well-rounded full suspension XC race bikes currently on the market. Yes, it’s very lightweight and yes, it also looks fabulous. But it’s the handling, suspension quality and smart spec that makes this such a versatile performer on the trail.

The Best Cheap “Down-Country” Bike? Orbea Oiz H20 Review

It’s good for cross-country riders that want a bike that’s a little bit more versatile, that can handle descending with a little bit more confidence, but still be super-efficient to climb with.

We Tested the Orbea Oiz M-LTD 2021, One of the Great Stars of the World Cup

In short, this is one of the lightest full suspension bicycle frames on the market due to the 250g reduction in the weight of the whole, thanks to the use of OMX carbon and the new swingarm, without losing any stiffness. It has a balanced geometry, plus the shortened 5 mm seat stays to make it even more responsive.
