2022 Orbea Rallon Mullet AXS Öhlins Custom Dream Bike Build

1st build for the year 2023, this should have been done and dusted a long time ago but parts sourcing and time management had other plans. Also at 1st wanted to gear it up with FOX 🦊 but I came across some great deal for the öhlins so was no question I'll go with them.

Meantime Hope dropped out the Tech4 lineup so that was a must have as well 😅

Was pretty much toying with going full 29er or go mullet as I couldn't decide. Not really a secret that I'm not much of a fan of Mullet setup but decided to give it shot and go MX rather than full 29er. Yet to see if that was a good call or not.

All in all I think this beauty turned up quite nicely, the paintwork on this ‪@orbea‬ is stunning, the videos don't do justice to how sick it is, you can see the carbon layer on some area which is really cool! Was no question that a Brand New out of box frame 1st step is going to be ‪@invisiframeglobal‬ wrap. A paintwork like that has to be protected with the best protection out there.

Took me about 3 months to get everything ready for it so the build could go ahead. Pretty stoked with the end result, minus the MX but let's be positive and see how that pans out.

Hope you guys and gals enjoy the build. If so give it a thumbs up, hit that Subscribe and share yours thoughts in the comments section!
