A History of Orbea Mountain BIkes
Orbea mountain bikes are a well known brand throughout the world of mountain biking. The business is based in the North of Spain in the Basque country, in a town called Mallavia. Nowadays, Orbea mountain bikes, road bikes and touring bikes are all available.
Interestly this mountain bike company actually started life as a weapons and ammunition company. In its infancy, the business made rifles and pistols as well as cartridges. All through Spain, Orbea was renowned for the weapons it made. In fact, in the 1870s, Orbea was one of the most important, influential and successful companies in its region.
Orbea continued making weapons all the way up until when the Spanish Civil War Ended when it was hit by a drop in demand. Things also changed in 1926 when the business split into two seprate companies following family problems. From the split of the business came a company who chose to specialise in bikes and Orbea mountain bikes was born.
As one would expect from a big and famous name in cycling, Orbea has always sponsored and worked closely with high profile cycling teams. Euskaltel-Euskadi and Xacobeo-Galicia are two of the high profile cycling teams with which Orbea has close ties. But since 2005 Orbea mountain bikes has also had its very own team.
These days, many Europe-wide biking events are sponsored by Orbea and therefore the company’s products are often to be found as prizes in high profile races. Of the company’s current designs, a large proportion are made from carbon fibre which is a modern bike material. They also manufacture several designs made from 100% aluminium which are popular due to their Light Weight.
With more and more publicity from event sponsorship under its belt, Orbea mountain bikes have a very bright future. It supports and sponsors many of Spain’s biggest mountain biking events, which include many treks which are open to large numbers of members of the public. The fact that their bikes are now supplied all over the world serves to demonstrate their quality.
