BORN TO WIN.

WHAT MAKES OIZ A UNIQUE BIKE 1. BIG WHEELS CONCEPT BWC offers six frames in two wheel sizes – Small, Medium and Large frames with 27.5” wheels, Medium, Large and XL frames with 29” wheels. Our consistent and proportional stack and reach measurements guarantee that every rider experiences our legendary XC ride quality in a svelte, fun and fast bike regardless of frame size or wheel size.

Welcome to the new Oiz

2. ORBEA MONOCOQUE CARBON

With the stunning success of the revised 2013 platform, we set to work on updating the Oiz for 2015 using our Big Wheels Concept. BWC offers six frames in two wheel sizes –Small, Medium and Large frames with 27.5” wheels, Medium, Large and XL frames with 29” wheels. Our consistent and proportional stack and reach measurements guarantee that every rider experiences the legendary Oiz ride quality in a svelte, fun and fast bike regardless of frame size or wheel size.

OMP CARBON (Orbea Moncoque Performance) consists of high modulus fibers that provide stiffness blended with lower modulus fibers that improve vibration absorption for maximum efficiency and toughness.

OMR CARBON (Orbea Moncoque Race) carbon consists of the highest modulus fibers, increasing resistance to twisting and compression and delivering extremely rigid structures. When combined with low-unit-weight fibers, they result in frames with the best stiffness-to-weight ratio.

RELIABILITY - ELIMINATING BONDED AREAS INCREASES STRENGTH LIGHTNESS - FULL CARBON CONSTRUCTION ELIMINATES ALLOY PARTS STIFFNESS - SINGLE UNIFORM STRUCTURES ARE BETTER OPTIMIZED TO RESIST DEFLECTION FULL CARBON - ENGINEERING A FRAME THAT USES AS MUCH CARBON AS POSSIBLE OF COURSE SAVES WEIGHT BUT IT ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO THE SOPHISTICATION AND REFINEMENT OF THE OIZ. ALUMINUM IS EASY, BUT OIZ IS NOT ABOUT SHORTCUTS.

3. UFO U-FLEXION BY ORBEA We’ve done away with the pivot point at the rear axle. The flexible chainstay UFO technology developed for the previous Oiz was upgraded for the new machine with flexible seatstays. With this innovation, we make an ultralight bike that requires little maintenance and is stiffer for acceleration like you’ve never seen in a full suspension bike.

4. TENSEGRITY

5. ADVANCED DYNAMICS

To increase rigidity, we placed a minimalist steel tension strut named Tensegrity in the joint between the linkage and the seatstays to balance lateral forces and provide optimal stiffness and very low weight. Tensegrity allows an exceptionally light, carbon shock yoke and does away with a bulky linkage axle that adds weight.

Advanced Dynamics is at the heart of every Orbea suspension bike.

It is a process we developed in conjunction with CEIT (Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones Tecnológicas) that allows us to model and test our suspension platforms. Using a vast database of shock tunes and component behaviors we can study a design under a virtual rider that exerts forces on the pedals, saddle and handlebars. We can shape the simulations to evaluate different variables – rider height, weight, riding style – on different tracks. Even tire pressures can be tested and recorded before a welding torch is lit.
