Orbis X
Don't stop when the road runs out
Leave the world behind
The world has changed. Roads are more congested than ever, and we’re understand the urge to get away from it all. That’s why we created our family of gravel bikes, which all started with the Orbis X.
Every member of our gravel family is defined by a maximum tyre size, and for the Orbis X, that size is 50 mm (width as measured, not labelled). It’s a size that offers plenty of grip and traction without extinguishing the performance of the bike on paved surfaces. The end result is a highly capable gravel bike that you can ride all the way home.
1x or 2x
3D printing allows us to make things that we haven’t been able to before, including 3 different yokes to suit 1x or 2x transmissions with different chainring sizes. Just let us know your bias (or we can help you decide).
50mm tyres
To ride gravel means to become pre-occupied with tyre pressures and tread patterns. There is a huge range of 700c gravel tyres to choose from, and as long as they are no more than 50mm wide (measured, not labelled), they will fit the Orbis X.
Disappearing act
Orbis Integration hides the brake hoses completely within the bike. 10% aero, 100% tidy, and it provides a better view of our head badge, too. An upgrade available for every member of the Orbis family.

orbis x Geometry
If it looks like there are design cues from MTB, then you would be correct. The X is as ready for the road biker going deeper off-road as it is for the mountain biker looking to get onto something that might (vaguely) resemble a road.
Compared to our Plus All Road bikes, the X has a slacker head tube, shorter stem, wider bars, increased stand-over height, and a higher bottom bracket to make the most of 50 mm tyres.
