Orbea Terra Race M31eLTD 1X – High-Performance Carbon Gravel Race Bike
Engineered for Speed. Built to Race.
The Orbea Terra Race M31eLTD 1X is a premium carbon gravel racing bike designed for riders who demand maximum speed, efficiency and control across challenging terrain. Combining Orbea's advanced OMX carbon frame technology with SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 13-speed electronic shifting, aerodynamic carbon components and lightweight OQUO carbon wheels, the Terra Race is purpose-built to deliver outstanding performance when every second counts.
Unlike traditional gravel bikes designed around adventure and endurance, the Terra Race places the emphasis firmly on competition. Its lightweight construction, race-focused geometry and aerodynamic profile make it an ideal choice for gravel racing, fast mixed-surface riding and riders looking to push their performance to the next level.
Whether accelerating out of tight corners, powering up steep climbs or maintaining speed across fast gravel tracks, the Terra Race M31eLTD 1X is engineered to make every pedal stroke count.
OMX Carbon Frameset – Lightweight, Stiff and Responsive
At the heart of the Terra Race M31eLTD 1X is Orbea's premium OMX carbon frameset, designed to achieve an exceptional balance between low weight, stiffness and riding comfort.
Orbea uses an advanced carbon layup process that reduces unnecessary material overlap, saving approximately 300g compared with its alternative construction without sacrificing frame rigidity.
The result is a highly responsive platform that delivers immediate acceleration and excellent power transfer, particularly when climbing, sprinting or attacking technical sections.
Frame stiffness is carefully tuned according to size, ensuring consistent handling and performance throughout the range.
The full carbon fork further enhances steering precision while helping absorb vibrations from rough gravel surfaces.
SRAM Rival XPLR AXS 13-Speed Electronic Shifting
The Terra Race M31eLTD 1X features SRAM's Rival XPLR AXS wireless electronic groupset, delivering precise, reliable shifting across a wide range of terrain.
Designed specifically for gravel racing, the 13-speed drivetrain combines a single 40T chainring with a wide-range 10–46T cassette, providing the versatility to tackle steep climbs while retaining suitable gearing for high-speed efforts.
Wireless shifting eliminates traditional gear cables, reducing maintenance requirements while providing consistently accurate gear changes.
The 1X drivetrain also simplifies operation, allowing riders to concentrate on maintaining speed and selecting the perfect line rather than managing a front derailleur.
SRAM Rival hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful, progressive braking performance, ensuring confidence and control in wet, loose and technical conditions.
OQUO RP50LTD Carbon Wheels – Aerodynamic Performance
A premium wheelset is an essential part of any serious gravel racing bike, and the Terra Race M31eLTD 1X benefits from Orbea's high-performance OQUO Road Performance RP50LTD carbon wheels.
Designed to combine aerodynamic efficiency with low weight and excellent responsiveness, these carbon wheels help maximise speed across fast gravel roads and mixed surfaces.
Their aerodynamic profile is particularly beneficial when maintaining momentum on open sections, while the responsive construction supports rapid acceleration and precise handling.
Paired with Vittoria Terreno T30 700x45c tyres, the wheel and tyre combination delivers an excellent balance of rolling speed, grip and control.
Integrated Carbon Cockpit – Clean, Aerodynamic Design
The Terra Race features Orbea's OC Carbon Cockpit RA10, an integrated carbon handlebar and stem system developed to improve aerodynamics without compromising control or comfort.
Fully internal cable routing creates a clean, streamlined appearance while reducing aerodynamic drag.
The ergonomic design provides comfortable hand positions for extended efforts, while the stiff carbon construction delivers precise steering when sprinting or navigating demanding gravel courses.
The result is a cockpit that looks as fast as it performs, perfectly complementing the Terra Race's competition-focused design.
Vibration Damping – Comfort Without Compromising Speed
Although designed primarily for racing, the Terra Race incorporates thoughtful frame engineering to improve rider comfort and control.
Its specially developed vibration-damping rear triangle helps reduce vibrations transmitted through the bike when riding over rough gravel, broken surfaces and uneven terrain.
This design also helps keep the rear wheel planted, improving traction when accelerating over loose surfaces or climbing technical sections.
Reducing fatigue is particularly important during longer gravel races, allowing riders to maintain their performance and concentration when the terrain becomes demanding.
Combined with the carbon seatpost and wider gravel tyres, the Terra Race provides a balance of responsiveness and comfort.
Race-Focused Geometry and 45mm Tyre Clearance
The Orbea Terra Race has been developed with speed and efficient handling as its priorities.
Its race-focused geometry encourages an aerodynamic riding position while maintaining the stability and precision required for high-speed gravel riding.
Tyre clearance of up to 45mm allows riders to benefit from increased traction, improved comfort and lower tyre pressures without compromising the bike's aerodynamic and lightweight design.
This makes the Terra Race particularly effective across a wide variety of competitive gravel courses, from hard-packed tracks and dusty roads to loose, rough and technical terrain.
