Rallon X-Team, ‘a pure enduro racer,’ according to Switchback
2014-03-14
The American magazine has tested our flagship enduro bike. Their verdict was unanimous: ‘After every run we found ourselves shaking our heads, amazed at how well Orbea did on their new Rallon'
Switchback, an American magazine devoted to MTB culture, tested and reviewed the new Rallon X-Team in an article about all the new, improved features of the fourth generation of our successful Enduro bike, developed and tested with the guys of Orbea Méribel Enduro Crew.
According to the MTB magazine, ‘The Orbea Rallon X-Team is a purebred enduro race machine (…) a proper mini downhill bike that goes uphill when called upon.’
The reviewers from Switchback wanted to see what the Rallon could do and how the BOS suspension felt. ’The performance of the suspension was the first thing that grabbed our attention, as the dampening felt extremely smooth and felt like it was working with the rider. Our second impression was how well the bike cornered. It was flat-out fast. The low bottom-bracket made the bike squat beautifully in corners and allowed us to exit with speed.’
‘The Rallon X-Team is ideal if you are an all-mountain rider (…) who loves to geek out on suspension. It is for someone who is a pure enduro racer that climbs to the top. (...) Orbea has focused on the key points required by an enduro racer and crafted a bike specifically for their needs.’
