Best enduro bike! - Enduro-MTB magazine.

Omtale på engelsk av den nye modellen:
Rallon brings a new geometry to the table, being longer and slacker. It offers more options in frame sizing and even though there aren’t any big changes in the lines of the frame, the bike received plenty of other updates.

With its 170 mm (6.6 in)-fork and 6.2 in (160 mm) of rear-wheel travel, the new carbon fiber-only Rallon is available in four highly customizable models that allow you to choose everything from the color of the frame to the components and even the logos and decals. The available models from most affordable to top-end are the Rallon M20, Rallon M10, Rallon M-Team, and Rallon M-LTD.

Rallon comes with mullet compatibility, and includes all the standards of a modern enduro bike, from internal cable routing, to threaded bottom bracket, rubber protection on the seat stay, chain stay, and the downtube. A shock extender allows riders to run a 27.5-inch rear wheel without bringing dramatic changes to the geometry of the bike or you can equip the new Rallon with full 29-inch wheels. 

There’s a LOCKR in-frame storage compartment that can be accessed via a lever located next to the water bottle cage, and it’s spacious enough to fit a tire lever or a tube in there. 

With the Rallon being designed for dirty trails, Orbea improved the sealing on the bearings making them more mud-proof. 

Rallon comes with changes in the seat tube which is now shorter, for more control and increased speed. Orbea boasts of its new bike having among the lowest standover heights around.
 
Enduro-magazine skriver om sykkelen:
Just as perfect are the spec options, except for the size of the rear brake rotor. The integrated mini-tool and clever storage compartment are just the icing on the cake! Together with the excellent suspension and high fun factor, the Orbea is a top-class all-rounder. Retailing at a very reasonable price, the Orbea Rallon secures our coveted Best Buy in the “Best enduro bike of 2022” group test. 

Omtale hos Pinkebike.com sier:
Enduro racing requires a bike that has an even radar chart - no corner should be pulled to heavily in one direction and the Rallon answers well in all situations. Aside from the chain problems that could be worked around, it's challenging to be critical. High levels of grip from the suspension let the standard geometry send harder, ultimately making the Rallon a top candidate as a long travel, pedal worthy machine. The appropriately sturdy frame is packed with features to carry all of your goods and is built with a fine attention to detail. In-frame storage, 29 or 27.5" rear wheels, air or coil shocks - Orbea's race weapon has it all.
