Origin
The Avant is Orbea's accessible endurance road platform — designed for riders who want a do-everything bike for long rides, gran fondos, and mixed roads without the race price of the Orca. Orbea has always positioned the Avant as the entry point to their road family, with hydroformed aluminum keeping cost down while an OMR carbon fork adds performance where it matters. The 2025 generation was a significant step forward, adding ICR+ internal routing, a Service Box storage compartment, and modern all-road geometry.
