Looking for a sturdy bike that offers long hours of riding experience without hassle? You don’t need to look further than the Orbea Avant M30 2018.

For one, Orbea is a trusted name in the world of road bikes since 1840. Their bikes are packed with features that ensure the safety and comfort of the rider and at the same time, you get a wonderful riding experience. So, without further ado, let’s look at the main features of the Avant M30:

• Sturdy Construction: The bike comes with the Orbea Avant carbon OME frame, which is sturdy and durable. The frame is strong enough to support people weighing up to 230 lbs., though you may have to invest in sturdier wheels. The fork is also made from carbon!
• Comfort: The solidity of the frame does not come at the cost of comfort. In fact, Orbea has paid special attention to ensuring that the bike offers a comfortable ride. You can rest assured that you will be able to ride the bike for long hours over long distances, without any excess fatigue or strain.
• Fitting and Sizing: The great thing about the Avant M30 is that the sizing and fit of the bike depends on the frame. You can rest assured you can easily measure yourself to determine the ideal size for the bike. Once you find a proper fit, you will be able to reach the handle and the pedals without having to bend your back.
• Cable Routing: This bike features internal cable routing. You can go with the standard cabling option but you can also upgrade to electronic cabling. The great thing is that this feature protects your brake and shift cables against external elements, enhancing the safety element. Plus, you can rest assured that the cables are not susceptible to wind and you won’t have to deal with extra drag. Again, this means riding it is a breeze, literally.
• Performance: The standout features of this road bike are the Shimano 105 11-speed drivertain and the FSA Gossamer Compact MegaExo crankset. These features ensure optimal performance, regardless of the riding conditions, allowing you to adjust the speed according to the terrain or your energy level. This also adds to the durability. The steer tube of the bike is tapered with full carbon.
• Wheels: The 2018 Avant M30 features the Vision Team 30 Comp Clincher wheelset. The wheels are covered in tires from Kenda Kriterium, which provide solid grip on the road. The tires will withstand frequent use and will wear down over a long period of time, ensuring you get optimal performance for several years without having to replace them.
