Orbea Rallon M-Team

It’s the difference between the tentative first go of the year and ripping the third lap of a midsummer day. It’s the ease of knowing your suspension is dialed. It’s a boost of confidence, speed, and control when a bit more of any could make a winning formula. And, it's the extra bit of fun that turns a good ride into a great one. There's the shouting of the crowd, a flow state of euphoria, cowbells, chainsaws, accelerated reaction time, and enhanced perception— an there's you riding a Rallon straight to glory.

Rallon's concentric boost suspension with high main pivot point provides unique freedom to our engineers to finely design the kinematics so that pedaling efficiency, small bump sensitivity, suspension progressivity, and stiffness-to-weight ratio can each be independently optimized. What you get from this freedom is minimum pedaling energy loss, outstanding bump absorption, and a staggering amount of grip and control.

Advanced Dynamics is at the heart of every Orbea suspension bike. It is a computer-based modeling process we developed in conjunction with CEIT (Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones Tecnológicas) that allows us to virtually test and fine-tune our suspension platforms. Using a vast database of shock tunes and component behaviors we can study designs with a simulated rider that exerts forces on the pedals, saddle, and handlebars, resulting in a design that works as well in the real world as it does in the lab.
