Orbea Terra
Gravel riders. Orca if you want road race; Occam if you want MTB trail.
Orbea gravel: stable, mounts, and a calmer chart than Orca. It wants mixed surfaces and longer days.

Riders who want a drop-bar bike for mixed-surface events, not a touring mule.
Gravel-race geometry with a distinctive front end. Quick to turn and happier on fast dirt than on loaded bikepacking tracks.
Racers who want a boutique aero-light bike. O2 VAM is the climbing sibling; LS is gravel.
Factor's aero-all-rounder: light enough to climb, aero enough to race, and a stiff, precise race bike that reviewers keep measuring against the Tarmac SL8.
