About Orbea Terra
There's nothing like a loyal companion for your adventures. Orbea Terra gravel bikes are built for gravel but also excel on asphalt. With the right setup they are equally enjoyable for a quick dip in the lake after work and a speedy ride to dinner once you're dry.
Given the varied terrain, Orbea offers multiple versions of the Terra, each with its own unique features and reasonably priced. Whether it's your next trekking adventure, leisurely weekend rides or daily commuting, Orbea Terra bikes have you covered for any situation.
What Makes the Orbea Terra Special?
Orbea Terra Bikes start at just under 2,000 euros and can go up to over 5,500 euros as you upgrade for higher quality. You have the option to choose between aluminum and carbon frames.
Aluminum frames are crafted using modern hydroforming technology, resulting in a sleeker frame design that positively impacts weight reduction.
The carbon frame offers greater stiffness for more efficient pedaling, especially during sprints. Comfort is not compromised and the Lockr-System, located behind the bottle cage, provides space for small spare parts and a multitool.
The new frame design is compatible with most groupsets and offers increased tire clearance for better traction. The compatibility and tire clearance issues of the past are now history, making the Orbea Terra even more versatile and adaptable to your preferred setup.
Learned from road and mountain bikes and perfected for gravel, the Terra leaves few questions unanswered when it comes to exploring the world.

What Components Are Equipped on the Orbea Terra?
Each Orbea Terra model comes with a individual set of components to offer the best value for your investment. Additionally you have the option to upgrade certain components.
For precise shifting Orbea relies on the three major players in the market: Campagnolo, Shimano, and SRAM. Campagnolo currently focuses on road and gravel segments, while SRAM and Shimano dominate the mountain bike scene. To bring those high speeds to a halt, the Terra features disc brakes.
Saddles come from either Fizik or Prologo, with the option to upgrade to Selle Italia. Orbea uses its own products for the seatpost including the OC Performance XP10 Carbon.
For the front end of the cockpit most models feature OC components. Only the highest-end model offers the Easton EC90 AX handlebar in its base version. Many bikes offer opportunities for upgrades here as well.
Several wheelset options are available, with the choice to stick with Orbea's selection or upgrade to higher-quality wheels for an additional cost.
When it comes to tires, you have multiple alternatives, though higher-end models come with the Pirelli Cinturato in various widths. Lower-priced variants offer tires from Vittoria or Hutchinson.
How Good Is the Orbea Terra?
We're convinced that the Orbea Terra is the best Orbea bicycle... Just kidding, we love all of Orbea's bicycles. The Orbea gravel bike falls within the lower to mid-range price segment. Its frame geometry resembles that of a road bike, while the concept of wider tires draws inspiration from mountain bikes. It's a perfect companion for your adventures, equally at home on the road and gravel.
Orbea's Gravel Bike performs well at high speeds and offers good comfort. Its off-road handling characteristics are reminiscent of mountain bikes, providing excellent traction on loose terrain.
For bikepacking adventures it features ample mounting points for attaching bike bags to carry all your essentials. You can also use it for your daily commute or other everyday outings. It's extremely versatile and opens up a whole new world of possibilities for your next trips.
If the original configurations of Orbea Terra Bikes don't suit your preferences, the Spanish company offers customization options. You can select your desired frame set and personalize it with your choice of colors and components.
If you're in the market for a gravel e-bike or e-road bike, consider the Orbea Gain. It's an endurance bike that can handle gravel roads with the right tires, although it sacrifices some off-road performance in the process.
