Thank you for making it possible: this is how we close the MyOrbea Custom Challenge

When we launched the MyOrbea Custom Challenge, we knew our community had talent. But what you created has exceeded every expectation. You reminded us that customizing a bike is more than choosing colors and components: it’s about telling the world who you are, where you come from, and where you want to ride next.

More than 50 countries joined this edition. Over fifty corners of the globe sharing excitement and creativity, and thousands of designs that filled us with pride, emotion and surprise in equal measure. Seeing our message travel so far reminds us of something very simple: what we do matters.

We cannot close this challenge without thanking Shimano for their support and trust. Their groupsets are an essential part of this customization experience: reliable, precise, and ready to bring any dream on two wheels to life. Thank you for helping us make each design become a unique bike.

Every proposal you sent carries a story. Some made us smile, others surprised us… and many left us thinking, “What if…?”
Those questions, that desire to explore new combinations and new ways of understanding design, are the fuel that drives us to keep evolving MyOrbea Custom.

There’s something you don’t always see, but it’s what makes everything work: our design team. Aitor, Ania, Esther and Tomasso reviewed every single submission, dedicating hours, expertise and sensitivity to understanding what each person wanted to express. Seeing their dedication reminds us how lucky we are to have such incredible talent at home — people who live design with passion and treat every detail as if it were their own.

And finally, thank you to every single person who participated. Even though not all proposals can be selected, every design, every idea and every minute of dedication has helped this challenge grow.

After a process filled with excitement, debates and tough decisions (because the level has been truly spectacular), we can finally say it:
The winner of the MyOrbea Custom Challenge is…
