One of the Best Bikes We've Ridden This Year: The Orbea Occam SL

[@krisqz]

I'm currently riding Oiz, but this is for sure my next bike. It seems to be basically perfect for my needs.

[@Valentin359]

Finally a honest review of non ltd version. Thank you, now i want it even more) But maybe you know the real weight of base SL H30 model? Nobody made a review on that one :(

[@jensonusabicycles]

I am not sure on that, sorry.

[@jasbsba]

16.2 KG size large with pedals. So it should be around 15.8-15.9 kg.The bike is a lot of fun, mine comes with different tyers that are too weak, and breaks are ok at best.

Nice. Like the mix. Nicely done vid, ThomasP. See you on the trails in AG.

[@brenna3478]

Wow! Glad to have this bike on my radar

[@MTBCoop]

Looks awesome! I'd love to try the LT model for here in the PNW!

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

Everytime I shop locally for Orbea I can't find one to try. Srore availability for demo bikes is practically non-existent here, closest dealer to me had a h10 marked 1k over retail and didn't want to let me ride it even in the parking, I offered him my cars keys to no avail and also he didn't want to move on the price 😂 Geez l love the bikes but they need to improve their dealer network in north America...

Quick question. When looking at the website it says that its a 2 position suspension setup (I guess open or locked out) but when looking at the video it seems to be 3 position like my old scott genius is (open, half locked, fully locked). Can you tell me if there are 2 or 3 positions as the website info and the videos of the squid lock seem to say show something different.

[@jensonusabicycles]

I just asked around then went through every single one of their builds on their site and all of them show no more than 2-pos remote. Looks like the Squidlock remote simply swaps between open and "trail," which is the middle of the three settings on the Fit4 damper. The rider in this video mentioned seeing a render of a 3-pos Occam SL and that there are internal differences of the 2 and 3 pos remote Fit4 dampers... www.orbea.com/us-en/bicycles/mountain/occam-sl/technology

[@ghostdog6471]

I would rather in this case use if it's possible the scott twinloc 3 position + dropper post remote lockout

[@christopheleroux-owd1274]

Wow, what a bike ! Could you tell the weight for the bike in that M30 version please ? Thanks a lot !

[@jensonusabicycles]

If I remember correctly, it was 31. I'll have to double check the footage tomorrow.

@@jensonusabicycles Thanks a lot ! Si if it's right, there is a big gap with the upper model SL M-LTD, which is with 26.4 lbs 🙃
