ORBEA ONIX REVIEWS:

May 2011, Bikeradar.com
"I bought one three years ago and have done over 6000 miles in it. Fantastic bike, very comfortable and feels solid on a long ride. With a decent saddle I don't know any other bike that is more comfortable... light and fast as well.

Feb 2009 Road.cc:
"Crisp, assured handling from a Carbon thoroughbred."
"If you're in the market for a good bike that's had a fair dollop of R&D money spent on its development Orbea's Onix may not be the first machine you would think of, but maybe it should be."

"Baby brother to Orbea's range-topping Orca model the Onix benefits from the same SSN (Size Specific Nerve) technology – basically what that means is that each frame size has been tuned in terms of wall thickness, tube profile, and geometry to deliver a standard ride ride across the range."

...(snip)..."Where Orbea score is that they were one of the first companies to start building their bikes like this, that they optimize the entire mainframe in this way, and that they offer this technology further down their range than simply the flagship model."

"No arguments that the Onix Tour delivers a fine riding experience...(snip) ... (the frameset: frame, fork headset, seat clamp weighs in at approx 1.2kg depending on frame size, says Orbea)"

"Verdict
Did you enjoy riding the bike? yes
Would you consider buying the bike? yes
Would you recommend the bike to a friend? yes
Overall verdict: Well thought out, well put together bike"

"Orbea are made in Mallabia in the Basque Country in the North of Spain and started the business in 1840 and now are one of the leading bike manufacturers in Europe. They are very famous for sponsoring the Basque Euskaltel professional cycle team and that experience comes through in their frame designs."
"The Onix frame uses monocoque carbon technology, the same as the team use."
"...Orbea Onix, it has that European flare for design and finish quality."

"The Onix TDF is smooth and comfortable and has a ride quality you only get from euro bike brands with pedigree."
"The all round ride was fantastic and I would have to confess Onix ...got me motivated to push just that little harder on a fast morning ride, I felt comfortable right away and the plush ride gave me instant confidence in the Onix.  ... this felt great and balanced."

"it looks amazing, it feels really natural (the geometry is great), it is really stiff yet it isnt uncomfortable, but most importantly, it makes me smile when i look at it, when i ride it and when i get off of it (at the end of a ride) i cant wait for my next ride, and that is why i love the onix!"
