ORBEA - OCCAM29 S30

OCCAM29 S30.
RIDE FAST IN ANY TERRAIN

"The Occam 29 Silver is perfect for long distance XC racing and riding as it offers ample travel in an efficient, lightweight package. We've re-designed the Occam platform for 29"" wheels, and it's a fast-roller that is perfectly suited to relentlessly rocky trails. Although it shares the same geometry as the Hydro version, we build this one with our Orbea Silver carbon fiber to create a package that is all about performance. The Occam 29 is agile and efficient on the climbs, yet it makes sparks fly on the descents."



ADVANCED DYNAMICS
ADVANCED DYNAMICS ENABLES US TO SIMULATE THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE BIKE AND A VIRTUAL RIDER TO CREATE SUSPENSIONS THAT PERFORM IN ALL CONDITIONS.

Advanced Dynamics models new suspension platforms with a virtual rider that exerts typical rider-induced forces onto the pedals, saddle, and handlebars. We can shape the simulations with different users – height, body weight, riding style – and we can generate all different types of terrain.

This process allows us to optimize our suspension designs before the prototyping and field-testing phases of development. You’ll get a dynamic suspension system that can be easily tuned for variable trail conditions and with a leverage rate curve that is matched to the spring and damper for maximum performance.

CARBON GSB
ORBEA CARBON ENABLES US TO CREATE STRUCTURES WITH OPTIMUM STIFFNESS, STRENGTH, AND VIBRATION ABSORPTION. THREE LEVELS OFFER THE RIGHT BLEND OF PERFORMANCE AND VALUE.

We've used our experience and know-how to design three carbon categories. We call them Orbea Carbon Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Each is made of a distinct blend of fibers with differing density, elasticity, and strength. Stiffer, high modulus fibers are great for lightweight frames intended for elite competition. And while we're all about performance, we know that comfort is a concern for many riders. That's why part of our grading process looks at vibration absorption qualities. Strength and durability are of paramount importance as well since we offer you a lifetime warranty on our bikes.

All of these considerations demand the blending of different fiber types with carefully designed layup schedules to develop bikes that meet our design requirements and exceed your expectations.

CONCENTRIC 9-12
THE CONCENTRIC 9-12 SYSTEM ALLOWS TRUE SEPARATION OF BRAKING FORCES FROM THE SUSPENSION AND PROVIDES ADAPTABILITY FOR POPULAR AXLE SYSTEMS.

The C 9-12 pivot system is based around a suspension design that features a rear pivot that is concentric with the rear axle. It allows true separation of braking forces from the swingarm; the seat stays act as a brake floater, much like systems used in moto and auto racing to optimize traction under heavy braking. With the rear wheel following the ground more effectively, you’ll have more control and more confidence in edge-of-control situations.

We made sure to provide compatibility for current axle systems (standard QR and 12x142mm thru-axle) so you can choose. The concentric pivot design also allows for a stronger, quieter post-mount brake attachment.

DIAMOND LINK
THE DIAMOND LINK SHAPES THE LEVERAGE RATE CURVE TO PROVIDE EFFICIENCY AND CONTROL THROUGHOUT THE TRAVEL RANGE.
The Occam bikes use the Diamond Link rear suspension. This linkage design creates a two-stage leverage rate curve to provide efficiency and control throughout the travel range. The first stage is characterized by a rising leverage ratio. This allows the Occam to offer good sensitivity for small bumps. By keeping your rear wheel on the ground, you’ll have traction and control at all times, up hills or down. At about 50% travel, the leverage ratio decreases towards the bottom of the stroke.

This gives the Occam a progressively firmer feel for control in fast bermed corners and through successive mid to large sized bump input.

DCR
OUR DIRECT CABLE ROUTING SYSTEM RELIES ON REDUCING DRAG AND THE POSSIBILITY OF CONTAMINATION TO ENSURE THE BEST SHIFTING PERFORMANCE POSSIBLE.

We've created and patented the DCR system to route the cables in the most efficient way. The goal is to ensure that you get the best performance.

The DCR system uses a Gore Ride On cable set, providing a sealed system for each wire. Without contamination and the higher drag inherent in traditional housing, DCR reduces friction in the system by up to 25%. You'll have a lighter and more precise feel at the levers. We make sure that the cables integrate cleanly with the design of the frame rather than looking like an afterthought. DCR is a system where function, simplicity, and tidiness are paramount.

ORBEA DESIGN
WE CREATE BOLD PRODUCTS, AND WE SET TRENDS. WE DO THIS USING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY AND WITH REGARD TO RIDER INPUT.

Orbea Design is based on four essential elements: the human factor, state-of-the-art technology, the creation process, and trends. Our logo for Orbea Design explains it perfectly; each of these four concepts is a key feature of the way we work, and each element is tied to the others. A big part of our design process involves feedback from users, test riders, and sponsored racers.

Our aim is to continue to bring you exciting designs that help you go faster and farther with greater comfort and control. We start each bike with a dream in mind - to amaze you. And we start with a challenge in mind - to offer you the very best, day after day. We’re here to build bikes for you.

ORBEA WARRANTY
ORBEA PROVIDES A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON EVERY FRAME. WE HAVE TOTAL CONFIDENCE IN OUR PRODUCTS.

Our constant efforts to ensure that Orbea bicycles are of the highest quality enable us to offer you the best guarantee possible - the Orbea Lifetime Warranty. If your frame has a manufacturing defect, we will respond quickly to solve your problem. Your warranty is activated at www.orbea.com using the unique, non-transferable registration number you'll find on the down tube of your frame.

Once the process is complete, your bike will automatically receive its lifetime warranty. We'll have a record of your bike information should it get stolen, and you'll be able to take part in our drawings and events. You'll also have access to the latest news about Orbea, its sponsored teams and riders, and new product development.
