Split Personalities - New Orbea Occam SL and LT Dissected #mtb

Orbea is launching not only one, but two new Occam trail bike models for 2024. Following feedback from the previous generation of their trail bike, Orbea realized that riders in the mid-travel full suspension market fall into two distinct camps based on their preference for pedaling efficiency or aggressive descending capability. They came to the conclusion that one bike couldn’t provide a solution to give the optimal performance for both camps, so developed the new Occam SL and LT. These rely on the same main frame, available in both alloy or carbon versions, but with different shock links, strokes and components. In this Dissected feature we’ll cover all the details of the new Occam and what sets the two models apart, and try to help you decide which model is the best for your needs.

DISSECTED DISCLAIMER | As with all of our Dissected Features, this is not intended to be a long term review or endorsement of a product but is instead a chance for our viewers and readers to get a deep dive look into some of the newest tech and products in the mountain bike space. We thank Orbea for the opportunity to create this feature and offer a more in-depth look into the production and changes of the latest generation Occam SL and LT.
