The 2023 Terra M21e Team 1x was crafted with a geometry to be speedy on road while exceeding expectations of comfort once the gravel begins. With versatility in wheel/tire pairing, SRAM Force eTap AXS electronic shifting, and a 1x drivetrain - the 2023 Terra is designed to roam free and far.
The 2023 Orbea Terra M21e Team 1x comes with Fulcrum Rapid Red 500 DB wheels with some plush Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H 700 x 40 tires. You’ll also have the ability to run 700c x 45mm or 650b x 50mm tires at maximum. This model of the Terra runs a 1x crank, but it can comfortably accommodate a compact 2x crank to provide greater range in gearing. As a bonus, the 2023 Orbea Terra can sport 30mm tires and play the part of an endurance oriented road bicycle. Long story short, there are more than enough options to comfortably roll upon any surface you have in mind.
To provide more room for growth and experimentation, Orbea outfits the Terra with a standard 27.2mm seatpost which sports routing ability for a dropper post. Sometimes you have to get down to get down.
Featuring a top tube bottle bag mount, three bottle mounts, and two more mounts on the fork blades - the Terra is aptly named. It’s truly a bike built to experience as much land as possible. Fender mounts are thrown in as a bonus for those less than ideal muck-covered days.
Here's one of our favorite parts of the new Terra: a downtube storage area they call the downtube LOCKR. Basically, underneath the downtube water bottle mount is a trap door that opens to two sealed bags. They say this gives you space for a tube, tools, CO2 cartridges, or other necessities. We imagine this would be a great place for a windbreaker on those variable-weather rides. Either way, it keeps extra gear down low on the bike and less susceptible to the elements.
