The Orbea Occam LT seems as if it was purpose-built for my natural riding style. I prefer a bike that can climb efficiently up steep terrain while also providing plenty of stability for the ride down, so the travel ranges of most modern trail or all-mountain bikes really appeals to me. The Occam LT falls happily in this category, with 150 millimeters of rear-wheel travel and a 160-millimeter fork up front—making it an ideal choice for riders who want a balanced mix of climbing efficiency and descending prowess. In addition, its sensible geometry and smart array of components make for a bike that can be both stable and lively when the situation demands.
