Just did today my first ride with my new OIZ H30! My First full suspension bike and I love it ! :)

I just bought that bike today. I have a cannondale habit 5 that I have ridden for 2 years now. I was a little concerned that the orbea would be squirrely by comparison. That is not the case at all. The orbea is very confidence inspiring and I wouldn't be scared to hit a little gnar with it. Thanks for s great review. You helped me decide to grab one.

Great Video! My H20 that was supposed to arrive in Jan was just pushed to April, your video coming out was a nice consolation prize.

Excellent review... Also for 2022, BH is releasing a budget version lynx race carbon rc 7.0. Its a full xt 12 spd set-up, with fox performance 34 sc fork 100mm and fox performance rear shock, and rest is decked out with BH components. It's has a sweet looking frame. Hope u are able to get ur hands on it.

Have a 2020 H30 and love it. First full squish bike and didn’t see the value in going carbon. With a dropper and came in Klixx wheels it’s right under 30lbs. Could probably scrub so weight but it’s not my bike fault I’m heavy hahaha.

Hey man.!! Great video!! Thank you, do you have a vid for the OIZ H20? Thank you.!

The problem with having to upgrade the wheels is that you'll be paying almost as much for the wheel upgrade as you paid for the bike. You pay $3300 for a bike and have to upgrade the wheels right off the top, you're adding another $2k or so. So now you have a bike that you paid $5300 for with an alloy frame and Deore parts. Deal breaker for me.

Astounding frame build, yup I would SWEAR it was carbon. Amazing.

Just bought an Orbea OIZ H20 2022 model in the color mouse grey. Mine has a Shimano XT rear derailleur, XT cranks and a 3 position lockout on the steering handle. Can't wait to ride this bike where it is designed for!!

Hey man.. great video.. I’m this close to buy that same model and color, how tall are you and what size is the OIZ ? Please

Hey, so there are Orbea OIZes in both XC and TR versions, and this one has the XC geometry, no matter the 120mm of fork travel, right? I'm a bit confused because they say on their website that TR versions have 120mm of travel, but then some of the bikes have the TR in their name, and some don't

Oh and another question, you said that this bike doesn't have a rear fork lockout, but there is a cable running to that rear suspension, is that for something else?

What size is this bike? I am curious to see because of the weight! I can never seem to find weights on bikes. I have an XL so i wanted to see what this one is. Thanks!

So, XC is going 120mm front and rear now? Guess Scott Spark isn't outsider anymore :) that is one nice looking bike. But it would be better if it had 34 fork. I know they are heavier but with increasing travel and more demanding courses, forks should be stiffer, IMHO. Regarding the price, recently I read Orbea announced 8 or 10% price increase. Not sure is that calculated into this model or we can expect to be pricier in next months. And I doubt prices will go down anytime soon... Great first impression Mossie and good luck with the weather and upcoming race

I was looking for a 2k euros xc hardtail carbon bike and i bought this one instead because it was 2k instead of 2.6k so clearly a lot less expensive that in the US. Fucking great deal!

What rearshocks with remote option can you fit on the Oiz???

Has oiz h30 remote lockout for rear shock?i m confused...

This one or canyon neuron 7?

Why the Orbea try to assembly THIS frame with Group of XT and Fork Fox SC 120 mm

Добрый день. Подскажите пожалуйста - можно на Orbea H30 поставить 34T звезду?

This Orbea vs The Specialized stump jumper alloy setup? Any advice or pointers?

Hello, I'm debating whether to change my bike to the above model,occam m30 lt 2022, I currently have a 2017 Aluminum Specialized Stumpgamper. What do you think?

Adventure begins at the seat post clamp?

Does it have routing for an internal dropper?

That is one sexy bike.

Just bought one for 2.8k dollars. Think i got a good deal.

The bike came with all the tools needed to assemble ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and the included instructional video made assembly a breeze. I bought the 20" bike for my child and it looks very nice and rides well. The 6-speed shifter is a little tight on the ends for the little hand but operates well between gears 2-5.While the paint is of good color, it seems to be very thin. I peeled off the white barcode sticker and it took off a big piece of paint with it. Now I need to find some touch-up paint to seal off the steel from the environment before it rusts...

Yo yo yo

What breaks are on this bike ?

That's not a "little heavy." it's a LOT heavy. Why not build up a Chinese carbon full suspension frame instead and use the big savings (read thousands of dollars actually) to buy top or near top tier level components and end up with a very light and capable xc racing bike for almost halfthe price you would if you bought a "name brand" ? No, I'm not talking off the top of my head.. I've done this very thing myself and know how much more capable for xc my bike build is than a lower level name brand bike. I've podiumed in nearly EVERY race I've entered on my Chinese build frame with a Chinese open mould. Chinese manufacturers offer frames only a few hundred grams hevier for a fraction of the price that work just fine. And yes, I do know what I'm talking about after living in Thailand and racing a chinese frame for more than five seasons with virtually NO problems in 46 xc races and NO failures of carbon on that hardtail, along with a new full sus chinese carbon build that has one 3rd and two 1st place finishes on it out of 3 races. No bad eh? BTW, my 7 year old 27.5 hardtail frame that has 49 actual races on it is still going strong and weighed only 1200 grams withthe complete build coming in at 9.79 kilograms which was plenty light enough to be very competitive along with a geometry that performed wonderfully in climbing and through tight winding North Thailand jungle. My new full sus chinese xc carbon frame build comes in right at 10.0 kilos on the money, and with an entire investment of less than $4500 USD. Any name brand coming in at 10.6 kilos or less will set you back $8,000 USD at the very least.. (check out their websites and find me one xc full sus bike that weighs less than 10.6 kg and costs lessthan $7900). There aint any. and yes mine is tough enough to do real xc racing, as I have raced it in Colorado ( a 3rd place in my age group )as well as Thailand ( two wins so far.) Still wanna believe that Chinese carbon is inferior and weaker than name brand big bike carbon? Well, you can lead a horse to water, but can't make it drink. Up to you. I'm just say'n.

4:25 stop saying schram. Does every murican try to sound dumb or do you hate the brand?

Welds are viseble near the crank and the rear of the bike. Wish Orbea did a better job on that.

I think the Orbea bokea are just priced right. Other brands are crazily overpriced.
