Explore New Possibilities With The Orbea Terra
If chasing the horizon across all types of terrain is your idea of a great bike ride, the Orbea Terra is made for you. Its carbon frame is stiff where you need it and designed for comfort on rocky dirt roads, but it’s also versatile enough to be your training companion year-round. If you have room for just one bike, the Terra makes an excellent option.
What Makes The Terra:
- All-Road geometry for a snappy feel
- One bike suitable for cyclocross, gravel, road, even commuting
- Clearance for 40mm tires
Some Like It Hot
Orbea uses its All-Road Geometry to create the Terra’s versatile character. Coupled with plenty of tire clearance for maximum traction and control, you get predictable handling when the going gets rough and a relaxed riding position when you find your groove. The chainstays are 430mm across the size range and bottom bracket drop starts at 70mm in the smaller sizes and ranges down to 65mm at the largest. This frame geometry leans more toward cyclocross and endurance road than gravel, so keep your typical kind of rides in mind when making a decision. The latest long and low geometry is great when stability on gravel is your main concern, but it also lends itself to less excitement when riding on pavement and smooth dirt roads. Orbea did a nice job of keeping the spice in Terra's ride.

Performance Oriented
The best gravel bikes borrow from a variety of design philosophies. Some are true single-purpose machines destined for the race circuit, but others tout more versatility with an abundance of mounts for accessories like fenders, racks, top tube bags, and extra bottle cages. Orbea sticks more to the lighter side with the Terra, offering accommodation for fenders and a front rack. It would have been nice to see a third bottle mount under the downtube, however, as many strictly-gravel rides take you out of potable water’s reach.
Build It Your Way
The 2020 Terra comes in six builds and two frame materials to suit nearly any budget, and each model can be tweaked to suit your preferences in componentry and ergonomics. It’s a neat idea—everything from the handlebar, seatpost, and saddle to the cassette, wheels, and tires can be changed, saving you from swapping parts after the purchase. Orbea takes this even further with its MyO program, allowing you to fully customize the bike’s paint color, finish, and graphics.
Grab And Go
No matter where you choose to ride, the Terra has the right mix of comfort and performance to make every ride worthwhile. And thanks to its well-designed geometry the Terra could become your go-to bike. Find your size, read reviews, and locate a bike shop near you to set up a test ride today.
