Alma 29 S50
Presentation
Based on the reliability, efficiency and commitment of Orbea Alma, we've created the new Alma 29er. It is not about a series of changes in the geometry, or adapting the use, this is a complete bike for those who want to move up a gear. SSN, DCR or BB30 technologies, added to the specific geometric design of the frame makes it a machine with optimum features and the most technologically advanced of its kind.

Alma 2011
The most important thing for me is a bike that’s as competitive as possible, and the Alma’s a competition bike. It’s perfect for racing as it’s lightweight and rigid, and that means no loss of pedalling power. It’s also extremely manoeuvrable, which guarantees really quick downhills, for example.
Orbea Know-How
I really trust this new Alma as I know the people who worked on this project, I know how skilled and professional they are and I know they’ve given their all to create the most competitive cross-country bike in the world
4X4 Triangle
4x4 technology is the Alma’s heart and soul. It’s the innovation that makes it better than the rest. For me, that means increased stiffness, which hugely improves the performance the bike gives you. This evolution makes the frame more comfortable and it also means problem-free pedalling on rough ground, and so it bumps up my speed whatever ground I'm riding on.
Direct Cable Routing
The DCR makes the bike look even better, but it’s also very useful as it reduces cable friction and that means more gear precision, as the gears are protected from dust and mud. So I can ride this new Alma in really extreme conditions without worrying about the gear changes.
Orbea Design
The design means the Alma is like no other bike. It’s unique, you can tell that as soon as you set eyes on it.
