2027 Orbea Oiz M10 AXS

Designed to turn technical cross-country terrain into a place to carry speed, the 2027 Orbea Oiz M10 AXS combines OMR carbon construction with a 120mm full-suspension chassis and a component package built around speed. Oiz remains a dedicated cross-country platform, but its modern geometry and suspension give it far more confidence than the twitchy race bikes that once defined the category. Rather than chasing low weight alone, this build combines speed with control so the rider can keep pushing after the trail turns complicated. With 29-inch wheels and 120mm of travel at both ends, this build is intended to climb efficiently, hold speed over rough ground and let the rider stay aggressive when the course turns technical.

The carbon frame is the center of the bike. Orbea uses a compact forged alloy link, a reinforced bridge near the shock and its UFO flex-stay concept to control the rear suspension while minimizing unnecessary hardware. Regressive kinematics are used to keep traction available on climbs and to give the bike a composed feel with the shock open. Dual bottle mounts on every size make the chassis practical for marathon events and long training rides, while the I-line shock-lockout routing keeps the cable path direct and the bike visually clean.

Suspension on the M10 AXS is handled by RockShox SID Ultimate Flight Attendant 120 mm up front and RockShox SID Luxe Ultimate Flight Attendant 190x45 mm at the rear. That pairing matches the Oiz philosophy: low weight and efficient response without giving up the damping control needed on fast, repetitive hits. The 120mm travel figure keeps the bike firmly in the XC world, yet there is enough movement to maintain grip through braking bumps, square edges and rough corners. A remote-oriented setup also lets a rider quickly firm the suspension when a smooth climb or sprint calls for the most direct power transfer possible.

The drivetrain is SRAM GX Eagle AXS with X0 power-meter crank, giving this spec the gearing needed for steep race climbs and high-speed transitions. The standard cassette spans 10-52, so there is room to spin up sustained grades without sacrificing useful top-end gearing. Braking duties are covered by SRAM Motive Silver, chosen to balance dependable control with the weight expectations of a cross-country race build. The cockpit uses OC Carbon Cockpit MP10, keeping steering precise and reinforcing the clean, integrated look of the bike.

OQUO MP30TEAM wheels form the rolling package, matched to fast cross-country tires that prioritize low rolling resistance without abandoning cornering support. The OC Mountain Control MC22 dropper gives the rider room to move on steeper trail features and technical descents, a feature that has become essential on modern XC courses. Across the bike, the component choices are aimed at preserving the Oiz’s quick acceleration while adding enough durability and control for everyday riding, training blocks and stage-race mileage.

The 2027 Orbea Oiz M10 AXS is not a trail bike disguised as a racer and it is not a fragile sprint-only machine. It is a purpose-built XC bike for riders who want to cover ground quickly and still enjoy the difficult parts of the course. The combination of carbon construction, 120mm suspension, 29-inch wheels and a carefully matched build gives it the speed to matter on race day and the versatility to make the miles between races genuinely fun. If your ideal bike should feel eager on every climb and composed enough to attack the descent, this Oiz deserves a very close look.
