The Orbea Terra features all road geometry. It's designed to be at home on dirt, gravel, cx and tarmac. With its clearance you can fit mudguards with ease and up to 40c tyres, as well as a rack. Ideal for those who are into bikepacking.
A longer wheelbase means that is it more stable on rough terrain. The position is a little bit shorter and higher than on a road bike, giving an increase in comfort, but it's certainly not a slow bike!
The lifetimes guaranteed monocoque frame weights just 1190g and is comprised of 150 pieces of individually cut pre-pegged carbon fibre. This means that very complex shapes can be made with a minimum of excess.
This Orbea Terra comes with a Shimano Ultegra disc-brake groupset featuring a FSA Supercompact Chainset with 48/32 chainrings, Mavic Aksium wheels and Schwalbe G-One 40c tyres!

How fast you turn those pedals is an important aspect to get right, especially when it comes to keeping those legs fresher for the latter stages of a ride. In this respect, is it better to spin to win or to grind it out? Bear with us... Conor is about to do some science 🔬 🧐
Invitation only, the world’s best gravel riders compete for a $300,000 prize purse in Life Time Grand Prix - the toughest gravel racing series there is. So how did Simon manage to get an invite? Thanks to Pinarello and a mega-bike influenced by Tom Pidcock, he’s going to take on some of the top pros in the Sea Otter Classic event. But can he survive this brutal course?
What does caffeine do to the body ? There is nothing like a strong cup of coffee for a mid ride, or even midday pick up. But does it really make you THAT much faster? Or is it all in our head? Time for some GCN does Science…
