BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Orbea Terra Race. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
10 reasons to buy
- Orbea's Terra Race comes in five builds. All have the same OMX carbon layup and in-house carbon wheels.
- Testers relish the lightweight, stiff, and aero-optimized Terra Race's "unapologetic" speed and efficiency.
- Experts find the handling incredibly responsive yet composed and stable at high speeds.
- Testers are shocked by how comfortable the ride is for a gravel race bike.
- The OQUO RP50 LTD carbon wheels are praised for their stiffness, and for handling crosswinds effectively for a deep rim.
- Experts find the agile Terra Race springs out of corners, thanks to its compact design and shorter chainstays.
- Testers like the Vittoria Terreno T30 40mm tires for their speed across dry, smooth gravel.
- The efficient and “feathery” lightweight Terra Race climbs steep ascents with ease.
- The frame has two bottle cage mounts, a top tube bag mount, UDH compatibility, and accepts 1x or 2x drivetrains.
- Orbea provides a lifetime warranty on all frames and rigid forks for the original registered owner.
5 reasons not to buy
- Reviewers agree the Terra Race isn’t suitable for gnarly gravel.
- Experts call the 45mm tire clearance outdated, but some fit slightly wider tires.
- In testing, the Vittoria Terreno T30 tires reach their limits on wet terrain or chunky gravel.
- The one-piece integrated cockpit (all builds but M20LTD) makes future upgrades or adjustments expensive.
- On all XS frames, the maximum tire clearance is just 40mm.
Bottom line
The Terra Race is Orbea's first gravel race bike. An aggressive riding position, 40mm stock tires, and a stiff frame make this bike ideal for fast riding. The Terra Race's confident yet precise handling earns praise. Reviewers find it easy to maintain speed, especially on climbs where the low weight and efficiency shine. Experts emphasize the bike's lack of versatility, as it's clearly designed for racers. That said, casual riders who want a fast ride for light gravel and pavement may find value, especially in the cheaper builds.Expert Reviews
