Every now and then, a bike rolls into the shop that genuinely stops us in our tracks. The new Orbea Muga is one of those bikes — and we’re all a bit blown away by it.
It’s rare to see a pure road race bike line-up at a muddy cyclocross event. But that’s exactly what happened when Toon Aerts turned up on the Orbea Orca and entered the eye of the storm. The usual choice for the team is the Terra Race, but for this outing...
Honestly, cyclocross was never on my radar. I was a mountain biker. I was a road rider. CX just seemed... weird? Skinny tyres, taped-off fields, and a lot of running. No thanks.
