Orbea
The beginnings of Orbea reach deeper into history than nearly any other bicycle manufacturer, to 1847 when the Orbea brothers began their metal tubing business in the Basque region of northern Spain. In 1930, the brothers narrowed their focus to making bicycles, a natural progression given that cycling is an integral part of the lives of the Basque people.
Orbea’s commitment and love for cycling keeps them thinking creatively about the next opportunity to improve your ride, and ensures that Orbea bikes remain a product of skilled craftsmanship and personal pride. From concept to manufacturing, an Orbea bicycle takes six months to two years to create, and each bike carries a lifetime guarantee for its original owner.
Orbea bikes have tasted a great deal of success both on and off road. Orbea bicycles won two gold medals in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games with Samuel Sanchez (Road Race) and Julien Absalon (Mountain Bike), and Euskaltel-Euskadi team rider, Romain Sicard, won the U23 World Championships in Mendrisio in 2009 on his Orbea Orca.
