First ride: Orbea Rallon

Orbea's new Rallon has proven to be a hotly anticipated new introduction in the enduro-class mountain bike market for its enticing promise of reasonably light weight, efficient pedaling performance, capable suspension, and striking good looks. Now that we've had a chance to sample it for ourselves - in Puerto Rico of all places - our initial impressions suggest that it's definitely worth a closer look if you're in the market.
