Orbea and Gravel: Racing Towards the Future

Gravel cycling has become one of the fastest-growing disciplines in the world of bikes. What started as a niche activity has exploded into a global phenomenon, offering riders the opportunity to explore off-the-beaten-path routes while enjoying the camaraderie of events and races. But as with any burgeoning category, gravel is evolving—and polarizing. Two distinct camps have emerged: adventure-focused gravel enthusiasts and speed-driven racers aiming to conquer the podium.

At Orbea, we’ve always embraced the competitive spirit. Where there’s an opportunity to race at the highest level, we push boundaries, innovate, and develop the best products. Competition has always been in our DNA, and supporting elite athletes is a natural extension of this, so today, we’re thrilled to announce our commitment to gravel racing by introducing the talented riders who will represent us as our Gravel Racers.

As we look ahead to 2025, the excitement is palpable. Our Gravel Racers will compete in some of the most prestigious events around the globe, representing Orbea on the biggest stages. We’re eager to see their dedication, grit, and talent in action.

But this is just the beginning. Gravel racing is more than a competition; it’s a movement, a chance to push what’s possible on two wheels. At Orbea, we’re committed to being at the forefront of this evolution. Stay tuned for updates, race results, and stories from the field. The future of gravel is here, and we’re racing full speed ahead.
