NEW 2027 Orbea Laufey H-LTD Mountain Bike - Shimano XT M8200

The 2027 Orbea Laufey H-LTD is the top of the alloy Laufey range - an aggressive trail hardtail built with a premium Fox 36 chassis and Shimano XT 12-speed shifting for riders who want hardtail simplicity with no compromise on capability. A 140mm Fox 36 fork, dropper post, lightweight Race Face wheels, and modern trail geometry make it a confident, hard-charging singletrack weapon that climbs efficiently and descends like a much bigger bike.

Aggressive Alloy Trail Hardtail Frame

Orbea's Laufey Hydro triple-butted alloy frame uses Boost 12x148 spacing, ISCG05 mounts, and trail-tuned geometry that's slacker and more confident than a cross-country hardtail. It's a forgiving, low-maintenance platform that's happy on technical singletrack and everything in between.

Fox 36 Chassis + Race Face Wheels

A burly 140mm Fox 36 Float SL fork brings big-bike steering precision and control to the front end, while lightweight Race Face AR tubeless-ready wheels and a Race Face Aeffect crank sharpen the whole package. Grippy Maxxis Dissector 2.40" tires keep it planted when you push hard.

Shimano XT 12-Speed Drivetrain + Dropper

A Shimano XT M8200 rear derailleur and shifter deliver the brand's crispest, most precise mechanical shifting across a wide 10-51t range, and Shimano MT620 hydraulic disc brakes add serious stopping power. A dropper seatpost lets you get low and move the bike beneath you on steep descents.

Available in three colorways - Lavender - Gum, Silver, and Cinnamon - Black - in sizes S-XL.

FREQUENTLY ASKED:

• Is the Laufey a trail bike or an XC bike? It's a trail hardtail - a 140mm fork, dropper post, and slacker geometry make it more capable and playful on descents than a cross-country hardtail like the Orbea Alma.
• Does it come with a dropper post? Yes - the Laufey H-LTD includes a dropper seatpost with a Shimano remote so you can drop the saddle on descents.
• Is the frame aluminum or carbon? The Laufey is an alloy (aluminum) hardtail across the range - light, tough, and easy to live with.
• How does the H-LTD step up from the H10? The H-LTD upgrades to a premium Fox 36 Float SL fork, a Shimano XT M8200 drivetrain, Shimano MT620 brakes, lighter Race Face AR wheels and Aeffect crank, and a Fizik Terra saddle.
