Turning Dirt Into Gold | How Orbea Went From Nothing To A Race Winning DH Bike

Orbea have been at the cutting edge of mountain bike racing for the last decade. Their riders have graced the podiums at the highest level, thanks in part to the engineering of the machines they are riding. All that is, except Downhill. Orbea have never had a downhill bike. Until now. This is the story of how Orbea went from zero to hero, and how some wild experiments with the Wild bike, an R&D division called Oolabs, and the FMD Racing Team took them from square one to the top of the box. This is the story of the Orbea Rallon.
