Building, Not Just Competing

Some projects are born from deep conviction. From the belief that the journey matters as much as the result. At Orbea, this is how we understand sport, and that is why we take a step further alongside Orbea Klimatiza, reaffirming our commitment to XCM and to a way of competing built around people and shared effort.

Klimatiza is ambition, but also patience. It is about looking far ahead without losing sight of what is built day by day.

A team is defined by the people who make it up. By the way they compete, live together, and push in the same direction. Orbea Klimatiza brings together different profiles, established careers, and new energy that complement each other both on and off the racecourse.

David Valero, José Dias, Samuele Porro, Marc Stutzmann, Luis Martínez, and Sebastian Gesche represent that blend of experience, talent, and collective mindset that gives meaning to the project. Riders for whom XCM is not just a discipline, but a reflexion of who they are and their commitment to the long haul.

While XC is decided by explosive efforts and highly technical courses, XCM is built over hours, through effort management and the ability to adapt to every type of terrain. That is why the Orbea Klimatiza calendar focuses on the major events of international marathon racing: stage races, long-distance marathons, and the most prestigious arenas such as the Cape Epic or the UCI Marathon World Championships, where consistency and a long-term view matter as much as speed.

Two different disciplines, two different ways of competing, which at Orbea are part of the same vision of sport and the same commitment to top-level competition.

Competition is an essential part of our development process, and Klimatiza will be a key ally in the ongoing evolution of our bikes.

Orbea Klimatiza is more than a team. It is a commitment to a way of understanding XCM: with camaraderie, dedication, and shared ambition. A project that moves forward step by step, convinced that long journeys are best made together.
