The all-new Orbea Occam 2024 is here... available in 2 versions! - MTB Monster

Adventure ready

Whether you choose Aluminium or Carbon you can enjoy the advantages of the updated LOCKR with easier access. Store tools, lunch or even a jacket easily beneath the water bottle mount ready for easy access. Occam's Fully Loaded Pivot (FLP) includes a multitool with 2, 3, 4 and 5mm Hex Keys held securely in place with a magnet while the rear axle holds a 6mm Hex key. All the tools you need for quick adjustments right at hand. The Occam uses custom co-moulded plastic protectors to shield the frame from impacts and remove chain noise. Cable noise is eliminated using internal cable guides, improved silicon plugs at the frame entry and exit points and clever conduits linking the front and rear triangle

Asymmetric is Efficient

The silhouette of Occam is instantly recognisable however this design is chosen purely for
the efficient use of the material. The offset brace allows Orbea to remove material
elsewhere, tuning stiffness and lowering weight.
Orbea adds high modulus and high strength fibers to a standard layup to improve
stiffness-to-weight ratios. Bladder molding with EPS forms and PU headtube and bottom
bracket inserts stop wrinkling and unconformities in critical zones, allowing less carbon to be
used while maintaining strength.
In addition to the carbon version there's a high polish alloy frame. Manipulating the shapes
and wall-thickness of the aluminum tubing increases strength and resistance to unwanted
flex. Many of the tubes are double and triple butted to save weight in the middle of the tubes,
away from the stress of the joints and the weld zones. Each weld on the main frame is
polished smooth, matching the aesthetics of a monocoque frame. The action of polishing the
welds increases fatigue resistance at these high stress points.

Steep and Deep

Due to the uninterrupted steep seat-tube all riders should be able to fully insert a 230mm
dropper in their Occam. Drop your saddle right out of the way on the descents, giving more
space to your body and more control.

Occam is available in four sizes, S, M, L and XL, however Steep’n’Deep and one of the
shortest seat tubes around mean you can pick between sizes to get your preferred reach.
Choose a larger size to maximize stability, or go with a smaller size for a more playful
Occam.

Second Skin: Styling and Protection

Occam is ready for a tough life and the replaceable vinyl protection brings new styling
options as well as keeping the paintwork looking like new for longer. The beauty of Second
Skin is that if you get bored of the look, or simply want to refresh your bike, you can easily
remove it and replace it with a different design.

Fully sealing the bearings protects them from dirt and ensures that everything lasts longer
and keeps working smoothly even when the conditions are filthy. The integrated chain guide
offers enough protection to make sure you don't drop your chain even on the roughest trails.
The new chainstay and downtube protectors are quieter thanks to added air gaps in key areas, helping absorb any sound and protect the frame from impacts.

Integration

The new Occam features a number of integration features like the Sealed Internal Cables,
SIC System: fully sealed, internal cables that are quieter and more reliable, and make
swapping spacers and cables really easy. Our race mechanics agree that routine
maintenance, adjusting the cockpit and changing cables is easier than it ever was with
standard cable routing, while our racers love the lack of distractions and the lack of noise
from cables moving.
Cables are fully guided from the rear to LOCKR and from there it is easy to reach the
headtube if you ever have to replace a cable outer.
