Orbea RALLON M-TEAM 2023

Where it stands

Priced below the market rate for its equipment, but another bike in its price range is priced further below it in the sizes where both are in stock. That is the only reason it is not the pick.

Our pick · €4,500 – €5,000

The compromises

• Mixed groupset: not every component is Shimano XT.
• Mechanical shifting, at a price where electronic groupsets are common.
• Wheels not identified from the listing, so we scored them level with basic aluminium rather than guess.
• No power meter, which many bikes at this price include.
• 2023 model year.

Price so far

• BikeExchange states an RRP of €7,499 (35% off). That is the shop's claim; we rank on today's price, never on the discount.
