NEW 2027 Orbea TERRA H40 1X Gravel Bike - Shimano Cues U6000

The 2027 Orbea Terra H40 1X is a simple, rugged aluminium gravel bike built around a clutter-free 1x Shimano Cues drivetrain with a wide-range cassette. On the hydroformed triple-butted Terra Hydro alloy frame and full-carbon Terra Race fork, it's made for gravel, bikepacking, and drop-free single-ring riding.

Terra Alloy Frame + Carbon Fork

The hydroformed triple-butted aluminium Terra frame brings gravel-tuned geometry, internal cable routing, a 12x142 thru-axle, fender mounts, and MMS accessory mounts. The full-carbon Terra Race ICR fork keeps the front end light and composed.

1x Shimano Cues Drivetrain

A 1x11 Shimano Cues drivetrain with a wide 11-50t cassette gives huge climbing range and a clean cockpit with no front derailleur to manage. Shimano RS405 hydraulic disc brakes deliver dependable all-weather control.

Gravel-Ready Roll

Tubeless-ready 700c alloy wheels and grippy Vittoria Terreno T50 700x40c tires keep the Terra H40 1X sure-footed across loose, technical, and mixed terrain.

Available in three colorways - Diamond Black - Diamond Carbon View, Bumblebee Yellow - Brown, and Ivory White - Metallic Olive Green - in sizes XS-XXL.

FREQUENTLY ASKED:

• What's the advantage of 1x? A single front chainring means a simpler, lighter cockpit with no front shifting and less chance of dropped chains - ideal for rough gravel.
• Does 1x have enough range? Yes - the wide 11-50t cassette covers steep climbs and fast descents.
• Can I run tubeless tires? Yes - the 700c wheels are tubeless-ready.
• Can I add racks, fenders, or bags? Yes - the frame has fender and MMS accessory mounts.
• How does it compare to the standard H40? Same frame and price, but the 1X swaps the 2x11 setup for a single-ring 11-50t drivetrain for simplicity over tighter gearing.
• What's new for 2027? Updated Shimano Cues 1x spec and new 2027 Terra colorways.
