Terra H30 Shimano GRX 820 2x12

The second-generation Orbea Terra, sold as the Terra OMR from 2022 through 2025, was the point where the model fully moved away from its earlier road-biased roots and into the mainstream gravel/adventure category. Orbea redesigned the bike around broader all-surface use: tyre clearance increased to 45 mm with 700c wheels, with launch coverage also citing up to 50 mm on 650b, and the frame was built to accept both 1x and 2x drivetrains in either mechanical or electronic form. That made the Terra notably versatile for riders who wanted one carbon gravel bike to cover fast mixed-surface riding, light bikepacking, and day-to-day rough-road use without locking them into an unusually proprietary setup.

A few design choices define this generation. The dropped driveside chainstay is central to the packaging, creating tyre and chainring clearance while preserving relatively short rear-end dimensions for a bike in this class. Orbea also adopted more current gravel geometry thinking, with longer reach and a lower bottom bracket, then paired that with a steeper head angle and shorter stems to keep steering from becoming sluggish. Comfort and practicality were addressed through a compact front triangle that leaves more 27.2 mm seatpost exposed, a reshaped fork intended to add compliance, and the addition of the first-generation LOCKR downtube storage compartment. In the market, this Terra sits as a modern, broadly useful carbon gravel platform that prioritizes range and sensible design over extreme race specialization.
