Who are Orbea bikes?
Orbea, pronounced as Or-bay-ah, derives its name from the visionary brothers who established the company in 1840. In its early years, Orbea focused on crafting rifles and firearms. Transitioning to a new era, the company ventured into bicycle manufacturing in the early 1930s, an endeavor that has persevered through the decades, even securing triumphs in stages of the Tour de France.
A noteworthy feat lies in the association of Orbea bicycles with gold medal victories in both mountain and road events at the Beijing Olympics. Embarking on a transformative journey, the late '60s witnessed the evolution of Orbea into a cooperative enterprise. This cooperative is enriched by the presence of numerous co-op owners who share familial ties and have devoted years to the Orbea legacy.
