Collection: Orbea Occam SL 2026 & 2027

The Occam SL suits rides where the surface and pace keep changing. You can settle into a long seated climb and still have enough travel for the rocky descent that follows. Matching 140 mm travel at both ends gives the bike a balanced feel through linked turns and over small drops.

The asymmetric structure around the shock gives the Occam its distinctive frame shape. The SL uses a lightweight carbon shock extender and a suspension curve that responds predictably. Its larger wheels help carry speed over loose ground. Choose your frame size based on your height and how much room you want to move on the bike.

Start by setting sag and rebound for your weight and riding style. On builds with Squidlock you can switch suspension modes from the bar. Use a firmer platform on a smooth climb, then open the suspension again when roots or rocks call for more grip. The controls vary by build.

H builds use an aluminium frame. M builds pair the SL geometry with carbon construction. Compare the fork, shock, brakes and wheels on the models above. If steep, rough descents make up most of your riding and you want more travel, take a look at the Occam LT as well.
