Orbea ALMA M50 Bike 2026XC Hardtail That Means Business XC racers and marathon riders who want a carbon hardtail without paying flagship money have a great option here. The ALMA M50 is built on an Orbea Alma carbon frame with Boost 12x148mm rear spacing and full internal cable routing, keeping the cockpit clean and the weight where it needs to be. The geometry is tuned around a 110mm fork, a choice that hits the balance between bump absorption and low overall mass that XC racing demands. Orbea's X-Fader technology shapes the rear triangle to flex vertically and resist laterally flattened chainstays and seatstays absorb trail chatter and reduce fatigue on long efforts, while the lower spine handles torsional loads and keeps power transfer sharp. That seat tube is shaped to act as a micro damper, smoothing out vibrations without killing the snappy, direct feel a hardtail needs to be fast. The M50 spec puts capable components under a capable frame. Squidlock integration lets you control the dropper post and fork lockout without moving your hand off the bars, a small detail that pays off when the course demands it. The Orbea MP10 dropper post delivers 100mm of travel with infinite adjustment rather than just two positions, so you can dial saddle height to the terrain rather than guessing between high and low. My O custom color configuration is available if you want to make this one your own before it ships.
