The Orbea Alma M50-Eagle 27 is an affordable carbon-frame model of the Alma. It is made for the rider looking to kick up their performance on the trail or test out their skills in some cross-country races. This bike can do it all on the trails from charging up climbs to sprinting and descending with speed. It has no trouble on more technical sections of a course, so it is perfect for the rider on a budget who is looking for solid performance. A SRAM Eagle groupset keeps the price down while providing reliable shifting.

The geometry of the M50-Eagle 27 frame is the same as some of the more expensive Alma models. Orbea uses their World Cup geometry which includes an aggressive riding position along with a slack headtube angle to balance out speed with comfort and stability. The Alma frame is also known for its stiffness, promoting power transfer and a quick sprint. This frame gives you all the tools you need to fend off early fatigue and focus on hitting top speeds.

The Orbea Alma M50-Eagle incorporates the RockShox Recon RL fork which lowers the price and provides extra suspension on unforgiving trails. A fork that moves up and down with the terrain ahead of you makes for a more comfortable and enjoyable ride which is huge for beginners in the cross-country game. Furthermore, this will help keep the rider from fatiguing due to excess absorption of vibration energy.

You will have the option of equipping a small or medium frame with 27.5-inch wheels which is perfect for a new cross-country rider. Using these smaller wheels will give you easier control over your ride as you improve your trail riding. The Orbea Alma M50-Eagle is a fun bike to take on the trails that you will get for a reasonable price. The Alma is a balanced hardtail that can perform on climbs, descents, and flats to help you step up your cross-country game.
