Fast Trail Geometry

The Occam SL has the Fast Trail Geometry: a design that gives you control, capability and
adjustability. Balanced geometry that puts you in the perfect position to bring more flow to
your adventures.

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.

Lock on the go

Remote lockout comes to trail bikes with Occam SL. Locking and unlocking the suspension quickly becomes second nature. Squidlock is designed to work with Occam SL’s patented Inside Line technology, giving easy control of your shock and dropper post as well as integrating with the brake clamps to further simplify your handlebars. The Orbea patented I-line is simply the sleekest, most direct, most integrated shock lock-out on the market.

Carbon Shock Extender

Details such as the carbon shock extender on the Occam SL maximise rigidity and minimise weight. It is details like this which mean that Occam SL is so light but also handles and pedals so well

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 bottoms 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.
