"Orbea's new two-model gravel lineup gives riders more options and the ability to choose the bike that best suits their needs, wants, and riding style. It's fair to assume that most riders will gravitate toward the do-it-all Terra for its versatility, comfort, and all-around capability. But those seeking a competitive advantage on the race course can now find it in the lightweight, race-specific Terra Race."
"The gist is that Orbea made the Terra Race to compete at the highest level of gravel racing. The OMX carbon frame weighs a claimed 910 grams (size medium, unpainted) and has a layup optimized for stiffness and ruthless efficiency. Everything is geared towards aerodynamics, including the frame, fork, integrated cockpit, hidden cable routing, and a hidden seat clamp to keep drag to a minimum. At the same time, the thin, dropped seatstays aim to provide a little forgiveness and vibration damping."
Orbea released two distinct Terra models: a redesigned, comfort- and adventure-oriented Terra and a race-specific Terra Race aimed at competitive gravel racing. The Terra Race uses an OMX carbon frame claimed at 910 grams (size medium, unpainted) with a layup optimized for stiffness and efficiency. The bike emphasizes aerodynamics via frame, fork, integrated cockpit, hidden cable routing, and a hidden seat clamp, while thin dropped seatstays add vibration damping. The frame accepts UDH, supports up to 45 mm tires, and is purpose-built for speed. Several weeks of real-world riding confirmed strong acceleration and fast performance.
