Orbea offers a comprehensive size guide to help riders find their perfect bike fit. With detailed charts for road, mountain, gravel, and e-bikes, the guide ensures optimal comfort and performance. Measure your height and preferences to match your ideal Orbea bike size.
How Orbea Sizing Works
Orbea sizing is based on height and personal riding style. Riders measure their height and match it to size charts specific to each bike type (road, mountain, gravel, or e-bike). This ensures a tailored fit for optimal performance and comfort.
Road Bikes (Orca Series)
The Orca Series is Orbea’s high-performance road bike line, designed for speed and agility. The sizing for Orca road bikes is tailored to provide an aggressive yet comfortable riding position. Frames are available in sizes 47, 49, 51, 53, 55, 57, and 60, catering to riders of various heights and preferences. Key measurements include the seat tube (C-T), top tube (EFF), and head tube lengths, which vary across sizes to maintain optimal geometry.
For instance, a size 47 Orca features a 440mm seat tube and 510mm top tube, while a size 60 offers a 570mm seat tube and 590mm top tube; Riders are advised to consider their height, inseam, and riding style when selecting a size. While height is a primary factor, personal preference for handlebar reach and saddle position can influence the final choice. Orbea recommends test rides to ensure the best fit, especially for those between sizes or seeking a more aggressive or relaxed position.
The Orca Series is known for its precise handling and aerodynamic design, making proper sizing crucial for maximizing performance. By aligning frame size with rider measurements, cyclists can achieve a harmonious balance of power, comfort, and control on the road.
Mountain Bikes (Oiz Series)
The Orbea Oiz Series is designed for cross-country and trail riding, offering a balance of lightweight construction and robust performance. The sizing for Oiz mountain bikes is tailored to fit a wide range of rider heights and preferences. Frames are available in sizes XS, S, M, L, and XL, with corresponding rider heights ranging from approximately 150cm to 190cm.
Key geometry measurements such as reach, stack, and chainstay length vary across sizes to ensure optimal handling and comfort. For example, a size M Oiz features a reach of around 425mm and a stack of 615mm, while an XL offers a reach of 445mm and a stack of 635mm. These dimensions are designed to provide a responsive yet comfortable riding position, whether on smooth trails or technical terrain.
When choosing a size, consider not only height but also riding style. Riders who prioritize agility may opt for a smaller size, while those seeking stability might prefer a larger frame. Orbea recommends test rides to confirm the best fit, ensuring the bike matches the rider’s needs for performance and comfort on the trails.
Gravel and E-Bikes (Terra Series)
The Orbea Terra Series is designed for versatility, catering to both gravel enthusiasts and e-bike riders seeking adventure. The sizing for Terra models is structured to accommodate a wide range of rider heights, from 155cm to 190cm, with frame sizes ranging from 47 to 60cm. These bikes feature a balanced geometry, with key measurements like head tube length, top tube, and chainstay length tailored to ensure comfort and control on mixed terrain.
The Terra Series includes both gravel-specific bikes and electric gravel bikes, such as the Terra H30 and Denna e-bikes. For gravel bikes, the size chart provides detailed specifications, such as a head tube length of 105mm for size 51 and 168mm for size 60. The chainstay length remains consistent across sizes at 420mm, ensuring stability and maneuverability. E-bikes in the Terra Series, like the Denna, offer additional features such as a 420Wh battery and Shimano motor integration, while maintaining similar sizing principles.
Riders can choose their size based on height, but personal preference and riding style also play a role. Orbea recommends considering these factors to achieve the perfect balance between performance and comfort. Whether tackling gravel roads or exploring trails, the Terra Series is designed to adapt to your needs.

Common Sizing Issues
When using the Orbea size guide, several common issues may arise. One frequent problem is riders finding themselves between two sizes, making it difficult to choose. Orbea recommends considering riding style and personal comfort in such cases. For instance, aggressive riders may prefer a smaller frame for better handling, while comfort-oriented riders might opt for a larger size.
Another issue is the variation in sizing across different bike models. For example, road bikes like the Orca series have a more aggressive geometry, potentially requiring a smaller size compared to gravel or mountain bikes. Riders must ensure they reference the correct size chart for their specific model to avoid mismatches.
- Between Sizes: Choose based on riding style—smaller for agility, larger for comfort.
- Model Variations: Always use the size chart specific to your bike model.
- Height vs. Fit: Height alone doesn’t guarantee the right size; consider reach and standover clearance.
Consulting with a local dealer or expert can help resolve these issues, ensuring the best fit for your Orbea bike.
