The Orbea Avant H40 is designed around comfortable, versatile road riding. Its hydroformed, triple-butted aluminium frame combines practical features with a geometry focused on making longer days on the road more comfortable, making the Avant well suited to everything from regular fitness rides to longer weekend routes.

Hydroforming allows Orbea to shape the aluminium tubes to suit different areas of the frame, while triple-butted construction varies the tube wall thickness. The result is a frame designed to balance strength, weight and ride quality.

Up front, the Orbea Avant Hydro full carbon fork helps keep weight down and complements the aluminium frame. It uses a tapered steerer and 12x100mm thru-axle, while the frame uses a matching 12x142mm rear thru-axle for secure wheel mounting.

Internal cable routing gives the bike a clean appearance, with cables entering through Orbea's ICR system around the headset area. A conventional threaded BSA bottom bracket keeps an important service point straightforward, while the 27.2mm seatpost diameter allows the use of a relatively slender post.

Shimano CUES components provide a 2x10-speed drivetrain. The U6030 chainset uses 50/34T chainrings and is paired with an 11-39T CS-LG300 cassette, giving the Avant a broad spread of ratios for flatter roads, rolling terrain and steeper climbs.

The two-chainring setup also provides smaller steps between many of the available ratios than a typical wide-range 1x drivetrain, making it easier to fine-tune cadence during longer road rides. Shimano U6030 shifters operate the CUES front derailleur and U6020 SGS Shadow rear derailleur.

Shimano U6030 hydraulic disc brakes provide braking at both wheels. Hydraulic operation offers controlled lever feel and consistent braking across changing road and weather conditions, helping make the Avant suitable for regular year-round riding.

The 700c alloy wheels use tubeless-ready rims with a 19mm internal width. They're paired with 30mm Continental Grand Prix folding tyres, providing a useful balance between efficient road performance and additional cushioning compared with narrower traditional road tyres.

Orbea's OC Road Performance RP31-R handlebar has a compact 70mm reach and 125mm drop, along with 15mm of rise. It's paired with an OC Road Performance RP23 stem to create a cockpit suited to the Avant's comfort-focused road riding brief.

An SP 0.6 alloy seatpost uses a 20mm setback and 27.2mm diameter, paired with Orbea's 145mm-wide SD 0.1 saddle. Together with the frame and cockpit, these components support the Avant's focus on comfort over longer distances.

Practicality is also built into the frame through Orbea's MMS mounting system, giving the Avant additional versatility beyond straightforward recreational road riding.

Overall, the Orbea Avant H40 offers a straightforward route into regular road cycling without limiting itself to shorter rides. Its aluminium frame, carbon fork, wide-ranging Shimano CUES 2x10 drivetrain, hydraulic brakes and 30mm tyres make it well suited to riders who value comfort and practicality alongside an efficient road-bike feel.a
