Orbea Terra Race gravel bike first ride review: Orbea unvails a new evolution of its Terra gravel bike

Orbea Terra Race Being ridden on a gravel track in Spain.

Gravel is more of a catch-all term these days; the umbrella of gravel can cover everything from rugged off-road adventures to hitting the redline as you battle for position in an off-road peloton. As the gravel world expands, the needs of different riders have seen gravel bikes diversify.

This spectrum of gravel has prompted Orbea to split its gravel bike lineage into two different evolutions. On the adventure side is the recently updated Terra, continuing the essence of the Gen 2 with its built-in frame storage, additional mounting points and wide tyre clearance that is aimed at adventure and ultra-distance riding. The Terra Race is a completely new gravel bike for Orbea that has been designed specifically for gravel racing, featuring more aggressive geometry and a focus on performance.
