Orbea Oiz Aluminum H30 first impression!

[@MF-iq2up]

I would like to see a video compare oiz h30 to h10 to justify if the added cost is worth it.

[@stephenbutler1816]

For the price point and specs you can't go wrong with this bike and i love to have it !

[@jongreer7757]

Picked up the H30 in June and after riding for a few months I really like the bike. Really efficient on the climbs and can also handle rocky and rooty downhills. Two immediate change for me were tires and handlebar. The tires are not aggressive enough for damp trails (at least where I ride) and the flat bars felt too pitched forward. Also added a oneup v2 dropper and that has made a huge difference on descents. If I could change one more thing it would be the remote lockout. The bike is efficient enough without it, it clutters the cockpit, and it is push to unlock meaning that if you accidentally brush against the lever at any point it will lock up and give you a surprise. Wish I could just remove it without changing out the suspension components, but I have been told that is not the case. Other than points mentioned it is a great bike. In same rough category and geometry I would love to compare to the Canyon Lux TR or Neuron to see how the ride feels.

For me it's the best aluminium XC... Great job...

[@CarlosHernando75]

Excellent review thanks! What rims did you try for the weight comparison? I bought a H30 two weeks ago.

[@stevetdesigns]

Hey, how have you liked it? I'm about to buy the same one and a dropper to go in it. Also, how tall are you and what size did you choose?

[@CarlosHernando75]

@@stevetdesigns hi I’m 162 cm tall and I bought S size. For me its comfortable, super nice finished , perfect geometry for fun and a rocket in trails, going up and down. Maybe a little bit heavy. I wanted to try the KTM Scarp but couldn’t. For the price range I think it’s amazing.

[@crispychicken7552]

I love this bike because it is steep and a short travel. I hate how bikes now are so slack and have so much travel. 120mm or 130mm is all you need for all around riding.

I have the carbon model coming in this week and am very excited!

how flexpoint works when it's aluminium, I get that carbon flexes but aluminium?

[@DanielGuardieiro]

Hi. Thanks for the video. I got mine in 2020 (August) and I liked a lot. Some changes from my side: new dropper post and tires (I was unable to find the Orbea piece for suspension for + dropper post control). I live in Brazil and have no luck in find over here. I try to import from other countries like USA bot no luck (no stock). Try to talk with orbea factory but has no stock on this part.

[@Kostas20100]

Hello! Very few brands are making aluminium XC FS bikes! For non professional racers this looks awesome! Could you try to see if this can fit two water bottles?

[@MossieRidesBikes]

I only have the carbon model right now and it only has space for one water bottle. I believe that was the case with the aluminum one as well. If I recall correctly the only full squish somewhat xc bike that I ha e touched that could take two bottles was the salsa spearfish.

[@dmalovic]

Kostas Avgeropoulos watched most of the reviews. The best is from Flow, just search for it. From the frame size M and up it can have 2 water bottles. But I find that somewhat moot point, as those can only be small capacity bottles. Or you can fit on large one with the same or almost the same capacity.

[@DanielGuardieiro]

I try to put 2 bottles but no luck. At least I need a small bottle (less then 300ml). My regular bottle not fit for vertical position (camelbak with 500ml)

nice review .. the weight is in what size?

[@MossieRidesBikes]

It is a large frame!

Is there a weight difference between the H30 and H20 ?

I am hoping to! I’ve got one on order but the delivery date keeps getting pushed back. That is a very popular bike

[@ChrisMaj]

AreaCode865 did you get the H20 yet. How do you like it, I had my eyes set on this bike for few months, but it's not really popular bike in the states.

[@AreaCode865]

Chris Maj - love it, ridden now twice around Coed Llandegla and it’s faster than my Santa Cruz Tallboy by far uphill and perhaps as fast downhill also. The lockout is awesome, really great value bike. I’m really impressed. I’ve built new wheels, the stock ones were too heavy, but expected at the price point. Also upgraded the SLX cassette to XTR and the SLC 1* shifter upgraded to an XT. I probably should have bought the more expensive trail carbon fibre version from the outset. The aluminium is only 300g heavier though and I’m more confident about it’s long term resilience.

[@danb37]

@@AreaCode865 thanks for sharing your experience. Do you know what type of freehub it came with? I don't get mine till Monday....long weekend!

[@AreaCode865]

Dan B I’m not 100%, it isn’t obviously stamped, but I suspect it is a generic Shimano microspline. They didn’t license the design to many companies initially, but judging by the price point and other components this would be most likely. Probably quite heavy but well made. Good luck with your bike 👍

[@chriss8375]

You have a chance to ride this yet, doing a follow up video?

[@danb37]

Thanks for the video I got a red H20 for my daughter. After seeing your black one in the video I wish hers was black. Do you know what kind of freehub it has.

[@r3gflm916]

Appreciate you weighing the bike for us. Awesome insight. This helps my purchasing decision. As a fellow KZbinr, I am amazed that you are surprised about your video length. Def cut it down. I haven't watched your other videos, but this video was ramble-y. Maybe write a script for yourself, and cut out the bloopers. Thank's again tho for taking the time to review this bike!

[@90330]

I am exactly between size M and L. How to decide now? I prefer 100 mm XC version. WHy is better bigger and why smaller bike? Thanks.

[@MossieRidesBikes]

90330 I am between the two sizes as well but I always go for a large. I don’t think there really is an advantage or disadvantage between the two. It more comes down to fit and what makes you comfortable. A lot of people I know size down but I started riding on a large and thats what I’m comfortable racing. There could always be a small difference in wheelbase, weight, etc.....but I think fit is more important

[@90330]
