Orbea say the four-point rear triangle increases the amount of tube surface on the inside of the frame triangles by 15 percent, increasing stiffness but also changing the flex characteristics and improving vertical impact absorption. The Alma is still a stiff XC race bike but the new bike felt a little smoother on rough terrain the 2011 version.

What’s the difference between an ALMA and a 2014 Bike?

Compared to the older Alma, the 2014 bike has a more relaxed head angle, shorter chainstays and a shorter head tube. The slacker head angle improves high speed control, making the bike less skittish and more confident, especially when the trail becomes steeper.

Why did Orbea change the front end of the bike?

Firstly, reach has increased by 40mm for the large frame, shifting weight further forwards on the bike. Simultaneously, the front end has been dropped, partly thanks to a head tube that’s 15mm shorter. This lowers the centre of gravity, increasing stability and preventing the front wheel wandering.
