Orbea Rider Connect
The Orbea Rider Connect program will allow consumers to view the current and future availability of Orbea bikes at local partner bike stores.
The program also offers a feature similar to Trek’s ProjectOne in which you can customize an Orbea – size, color, component specifications, etc. – and perform the execution at a local affiliated bicycle shop.
Once you’ve signed up for the Orbea Rider Connect program, you can select a model and see where it is now – or where and when it will be available.
