With their new Occam LT blending the old Occam and the outgoing Rallon, it was time was a new enduro machine in the form of the latest Orbea Rallon.
Aimed at taking on the longer Mountain Bike Enduro World Cup tracks, the new Rallon gets more travel, tweaked kinematics and other adjustments for serious stability at speed.
Travel rises on the Rallon thanks to a longer stroke shock, now sporting a 62.5mm stroke compared to the older 60mm offering. This is also complimented by a main pivot that is further forward, increasing the rearward axle path of the opening portion of the travel. Anti-squat and anti-rise stay mainly the same, with a progression curve between 22 and 33%.
All pivots operate on fully sealed bearings, the carbon lay up has been fine tuned to allow for better tracking, internal routing is sleeved with rubber entry points and the frame has co-moulded protection in key areas to keep the bike quiet.
Lockr downtube storage keeps the essentials tucked away and you, as always, have the FLP multitool and the axle-mounted 6mm. The eccentric flip chip introduced on the Occam also carries over to the new Rallon.
Head angle is adjustable between 64 and 63.5 degrees, with the seat tube adjustable similarly between 75.5 and 77 degrees. Those seat tubes are uninterrupted and shorter to take up to a 200mm dropper. The bike can be run as a Mullet without affecting the geometry.
Five models are available, all in carbon fibre frame options. The range starts with the Rallon M20 at £5,399.00 and tops out with the Rallon M-Ltd at £11,399.00.
