Orbea has introduced two new path motorcycles for 2024; the Occam LT and the Occam SL. The LT pulls up as Orbea’s extra revolutionary path motorcycle, boasting 150mm of rear wheel shuttle paired with a 160mm shuttle fork on a geometry-adjustable body. In the meantime, the SL is pitched as the speedier rolling of the 2, with 140mm of matched entrance and rear wheel shuttle.
2024 Orbea Occam Path Motorcycles
The Occam LT and Occam SL land in carbon (OMR) and aluminum (Hydro) fashions, all of which might be in large part re-configurable by the use of Orbea’s intensive MyO customization platform.
Importantly, each the SL and LT motorcycles cross slacker and longer than their predecessors, with appealingly revolutionary geometry numbers. And, there’s the entire bonus bits you must ever need, together with a instantly seat tube that permits for monstrously massive seat submit insertion depths (230mm drop conceivable on all sizes), and helpful accoutrements reminiscent of body garage and built-in equipment.
The linkage is of the linkage-driven single-pivot taste, by which a pivot concentric to the rear axle is alleged to lend a hand stay the suspension energetic underneath braking.
Additionally new for 2024 is the replace to a SRAM UDH rear finish, making the entire new motorcycles you notice right here appropriate with SRAM Transmission. Altogether, the 2024 Occam Path Motorcycles appear a extra horny proposition than ever ahead of.
Occam SL & LT – The Identical, However Other
To be transparent, the brand new Occam LT and Occam SL path motorcycles run the exact same entrance and rear triangles. What units them aside are their suspension shuttle numbers. Once more, it’s 150/160mm for the LT, and 140/140mm for the SL. Based on their divergent intentions, the LT fashions get 4-piston brakes and competitive tires with a gravity-focused tread development. The SL fashions, however, get 2-piston brakes, and faster-rolling tires.
And, except the bottom spec fashions, the LT fashions get piggy-back shocks (with each air and coil choices to make a choice from), whilst the SL fashions get lighter in-line shocks.
What units the frames aside is the yoke that drives the rear surprise. Those are distinct in each their form and subject matter.
The LT will get an aluminum yoke to pressure the surprise, that includes an eccentric QuickFlip Chip on the surprise mount. That provides the LT two distinct geometry positions; low and high, and switching between them is alleged to require not more than 15 seconds of your time. Simply loosen the bolt, information the surprise into the change place, and re-tighten.
That are meant to be eons quicker than the the flipping of different manufacturers’ turn chips. Whilst they are able to, theoretically, be flipped trail-side, it’s most often a ache within the bottom; just a motorcycle stand makes the method frustration-free. Orbea’s little eccentric innovation is a truly great addition.
In the meantime, the Occam SL body will get a lighter carbon surprise extender. It’s sans QuickFlip Chip, so there is not any choice geometry available with this 140mm configuration.
Orbea does plan to supply the distinct surprise yokes aftermarket, however pricing on the ones isn’t but to be had. That can imply that homeowners of the SL can improve their body to an LT will have to they want to make the motorcycle a extra succesful descender. Then again, homeowners of the LT could make their motorcycle an SL, will have to they want to get pleasure from a lighter and livelier shorter shuttle motorcycle. It is going with out pronouncing that riders may also want to supply the related surprise and fork to finish the transition.
Some other differentiator will be the far off lock-out introduced at the Occam SL builds. Those motorcycles employ Orbea’s patented i-Line device that stealthily routes a cable in the course of the height tube to the surprise. It is determined by the SquidLock bar-mounted far off additionally featured on Orbea’s XC race motorcycle; the OiZ. With the exception of, right here at the Occam this can be a push-to-lock affair, as a substitute of a push-to-unlock.

- Rear Wheel Shuttle: 150mm
- Body Subject matter: OMR Carbon & Hydroformed Aluminum
- Wheel Measurement: 29″
- Measurement Availability: S-XL
- Beginning Worth: $4,999 USD (OMR) // $3,599 USD (Hydro)
As in comparison to its predecessor, the 2024 Orbea Occam LT is a slacker, longer motorcycle general, with a 64° head perspective and a wheelbase of 1257mm in its lowest environment (dimension massive). Achieve is up by way of round 10mm around the body sizes, now at 480mm at the massive. All body sizes get the similar 440mm chainstay.
Some other notable alternate is noticed on the seat tube. It’s now instantly, maximizing the permissible seat submit insertion intensity to permit all body sizes to accomodate a 230mm dropper seat submit. I’m informed all body sizes can run any such submit with out the rear tire contacting the again of the saddle at complete compression and whole shuttle.
Proper sufficient, it’s extremely not going any individual on a small body shall be short of 230mm drop, however it’s an outstanding declare the entire identical. Seat tubes are shorter at the new motorcycle for the M, L & XL frames, however significantly longer at the S at 405mm (up from 381mm). So, regardless of the greater insertion intensity, it’s not going that shorter riders will get pleasure from any further clearance.
The seat tube sits extra upright for 2024, now at 77° within the low geo place. It is going steeper within the top geo place to 77.5°, a transformation that concomitantly steepens the top perspective to 64.5°, and will increase succeed in by way of 5mm. The ground bracket peak distinction is 8mm, at 342mm within the low environment.
Occam SL
- Motorcycle: 2024 Orbea Occam SL
- Fork Shuttle: 140mm

Geometry is mounted at the SL. We now have a 65.5° head perspective and 440mm remains, with a wheelbase of 1245mm in a dimension massive. Once more, chainstay duration is constant around the dimension vary. Achieve is 5mm longer at the SL, at 490mm in a big. This motorcycle boasts the steepest seat tube perspective of 78°, and the bottom BB at 341mm.
Different Body Main points
All 2024 Occam frames (OMR Carbon and Hydro) run thru-headset cable routing. In additional certain information, all are endowed with the LOCKR body garage, the FLP multi-tool (2, 3, 4 and 5mm hex) and a 6mm hex saved within the rear axle.
For essentially the most section, cables are guided internally, with tubes working from the rear to round mid-way up the downtube. Right here, across the level of the LOCKR door, the tubes come to an finish. Silicon plugs on the body access and go out issues are mentioned to lend a hand assists in keeping issues quiet. For a similar explanation why, we see intensive keep coverage at the drive-side, that runs proper up alongside the chainstay to the chainring.
For the avoidance of any doubt, the geometry tables above pertain additionally to the hydro (aluminum) fashions. Those frames get their welds polished easy to offer a an identical aesthetic to the carbon tube shapes. That is the place the most efficient price for cash is available, in the event you’re prepared to pedal across the further grams that include an aluminum body. Sadly, we haven’t been supplied with weights for the Hydro fashions, so we will be able to’t inform you precisely what that weight penalty is.
