Orbea enters the competition gravel with an elite team and the Terra as the protagonist

Gravel has gone from being a niche discipline to becoming one of the fastest-growing segments in cycling. With a focus that is divided between adventure and competition, Orbea has decided to bet on its racing DNA and make the leap to high-level gravel with a team of reference athletes and the Terra as its flagship bike.

Orbea bets on competitive gravel

The Basque brand has just launched an ambitious project to position itself in the elite of international gravel. Among its members, we find a group of renowned cyclists who will participate in the most prestigious events in the world.

Orbea has assembled a team of riders with experience in different cycling disciplines, but with a clear focus on competitive gravel. Their cyclists will be present in key events such as the Lifetime Grand Prix, the UCI Gravel Series, and the Gravel Earth Series.
