Orbea entertained the idea of having a professional elite cycling team, whose future members would include Perico Delgado – winner of the
Vuelta a España 1985 – and Marino Lejarreta.. Although Orbea has always been associated with racing, it was only in 1982 that it became the sponsor
of a road cycling team.
Later, with the emergence of mountain biking, Orbea launched an initiative that would change the brand and the industry for good: its first MTB team,
led by Jokin Mujika, whowon the Spanish Cyclo-Cross Championships in 1994.
Orbea operates in more than 65 countries, developing and supplying around 250,000 bicycles, thousands of helmets,
cycling wear and hydration packs, and planning trips and events.Since the making of its first bike, Orbea has managed to adapt to the course of history,
offering quality products with ever-changing, innovative designs and materials.
