My first ride of the Orbea Rallon M10 Review. Having recently teamed up with my local bike shop (Gabriel Cycles) in Waterlooville, they have very kindly allowed me to take the Orbea Rallon M10 out for a spin.
This entry level Orbea is very impressive for the price. The spec is top line.

I didn't spend to long setting up the bike. Just small adjustments to tyres pressures and suspension.
So I hit my local trails at QECP and put it to the test. The GX eagle 12 speed makes mince meat of trails and delivers top performance on this already proven groupset.
There were moments on the trail however where the Orbea felt difficult to throw into tight corners. Also some climbs felt so much harder on the 29er. This could come to the fact that this is my first exposure to a 29er. So with only 4 hours in the saddle I can only offer my verdict based on the first ride. Having spoken to Kelly at Gabriel Cycles he's more than happy for me to take this out again but over a longer period. An offer I'll take up soon to pass true judgment of this beast.
So in summary. Great spec, great price and it looks stunning. This coupled with the fact you can be customise this in so many ways via the Orbea website.
If you contact Gabriel Cycles they are more than happy to assist and have a range of bikes waiting to be tested.
