“When the race gets rough and the pace never lets up, the new Orbea Terra Race is built to keep pushing forward. Engineered for high-speed performance on unpredictable terrain, it pairs a lightweight OMX carbon frame with razor-sharp geometry and refined aerodynamics. This is Gravel Unleashed—a bike for those who thrive in the chaos and race to win.” – Orbea

What makes the new Terra Race unique?

FAST: Built For Speed

Terra Race begins with OMX, Orbea’s most advanced carbon layup. Using high-modulus fibers, laser-cut and precisely placed, this construction method creates maximum stiffness where it matters and shaves excess grams where it doesn’t. At just 910 g, the frame is a full 300 g lighter than previous designs, while still delivering a stiff and responsive, race-ready platform. The matching 425 g OMX fork keeps the front end tight and responsive—perfect for when the course gets fast and technical.

Speed comes not just from weight savings, but from clever design. Terra Race’s silhouette is built for the wind, with fully internal cable routing, the sleek integrated OC SH-RA10 Aero Cockpit, and a hidden seatpost clamp inspired by Orbea’s road racing platform. Each element reduces drag, enhances stiffness, and keeps the bike clean, quiet and fast.

The vibration-damping rear triangle adds control without dulling feedback. It’s shaped to absorb high-frequency trail chatter while keeping the rear wheel planted during accelerations, ensuring that your power goes straight into forward motion—even when the surface is far from smooth.

EFFICIENT: Maximized Efficiency

Built with racing in its DNA, Terra Race features Gravel Racing Geometry—a performance-focused layout designed to deliver stability at speed, predictable handling, and a more aerodynamic rider position. Borrowed from Orbea’s road racing lineage and reimagined for gravel, the geometry features a lower stack, longer reach, and optimized bottom bracket height for confident handling on fast, loose terrain.

Power delivery is equally intentional. With carefully tuned frame stiffness, Terra Race turns effort into acceleration with zero delay. The bike feels sharp and reactive under load—whether you’re surging out of a corner or grinding up a gravel climb.

And thanks to size-tuned stiffness, riders across the size spectrum enjoy the same responsive ride feel. Larger frames receive extra support where needed, while smaller frames remain light and agile. No matter your fit, Terra Race offers equal efficiency and control.

MYO: Performance-Driven Adaptability

No gravel race is the same. That’s why Terra Race is designed to adapt. Whether you prefer the simplicity of 1x or the range of 2x, Terra Race’s drivetrain compatibility gives you the freedom to choose. Clearance for up to 45C tires means you can fine-tune rolling resistance, grip, and comfort to match the demands of each event.

UDH compatibility ensures simple replacements and wide drivetrain support, making Terra Race easier to maintain and more versatile in setup. It’s ready to race—however you define it.

For riders chasing every aerodynamic advantage, the OQUO RP50LTD wheels bring deep-section speed to gravel. Their 50 mm carbon profile slices through the wind, while the wide internal rim offers compliance and support on rough terrain. The result is a wheelset that feels as fast as it looks—without punishing your body over the long haul.

Riders can dial in their position with cockpit and fit options including flared gravel bars, integrated aero setups, a selection of stem lengths, crank sizes, and a 15 mm riser bar for added height and control. Whatever your position, Terra Race lets you lock it in.
