The term ‘Orbea’ is derived from the family name of two Spanish brothers who started the company. But what else? Let’s cover it in this Orbea bikes review below… Initially, the Orbea brothers specialized in selling the guns. They intended to continue selling handguns but the company transformed into a bike manufacturer and it was not long before they created the renowned brand. According to the company’s philosophy, anyone riding it is termed as a real warrior. The company is responsible for the engineering and manufacture of bicycles such as road, mountain, triathlon, and street bikes. The modern bikes may fool you into thinking that it is a new company but that could not be further from the truth because this is one of the oldest bike companies in the market. Since it is a very big manufacturer of mountain bikes and other accessories, it has also managed to acquire brands such as Zeus and Veneto. Together, they have managed to become the 2nd largest bicycle producers in France. Other buyers of these bikes come from nations like the US, Australia and South Africa. According to the leading export manager, Maria Retegi, the company makes annual sales of about 200,000 bicycles. The return on investment is placed at about 33 million Euros. Today, the Cooperative Movement (which Orbea is a part of) has managed to use services from over 180 designers. It has merged with another organization to form a cumulative association known as Mondragon. From it, you can borrow as much as 15,000 Euros. Customers can access them directly using phone and fax numbers. Alternatively, they can email them using their specific URL addresses. It may not be the biggest bicycle seller, but with 60 target destination countries, a lot of impact has definitely been felt.

From 1840...

Orbea Bikes Company traces its roots back in 1840 when handguns were quite popular. The end of World War 1 marked the end of guns and as a result this caused a slump in the handguns market. By 1930, the company saw the need to abandon their old hustle by engaging in manufacture of pioneer bicycles and sponsoring its self-made team. The factory was also responsible for manufacture of prams. Since then, it has become the biggest cycle and parts seller in Spain and Portugal with Mallabia as its main headquarter. Over the years, its workers decided to form an association thus transforming Orbea a cooperative company. Eventually, the management also decided to relocate the company’s original headquarters to Eibar, which is just a few kilometers
