Orbea Fox Enduro Team | Ready for the UCI Enduro World Cup

The Orbea Fox Enduro Team has earned the status of team favorite in any enduro race they attend. Last year was exceptionally successful, and with the 2023 season on the horizon, the team hopes to match or exceed it. To accomplish this, riders, staff, sponsoring brands and equipment are ready to face the entire calendar with the utmost preparation and motivation.

Martin Maes and Vid Persak will focus on the UCI Enduro (EDR) World Cup events, the mechanical category of this new season. Flo Espiñeira and Edgar Carballo have their sights on dominating the ebike category of the UCI E-Enduro (E-EDR) World Cup. The two ebikers will also participate in EDR races held outside of Europe. In 2022, both Edgar and Flo achieved victories in E-EDR World Series events, and Martin added three consecutive podium finishes in his first year with the team. The Orbea Fox Enduro Team calendar will start in Maydena (Tasmania, Australia) on March 25 and 26.

The team will compete on two Orbea bikes that have become world leaders in their categories. The team’s new Orbea Rallon will debut with personalizations made on the MyO platform, with colors and aesthetics that reinforce the team’s identity. The E-EDR races come with more changes, where the athletes will compete aboard the new Orbea Wild, overhauled for 2023 and debuting with a lighter frame and improved suspension geometry and kinematics.

Orbea Fox Enduro Team manager Primož Štrancar will be in charge of directing a group that includes mechanical team leader Javier Lorenzo and is seen as a fundamental part of a discipline as demanding as enduro.

The roster of Orbea Fox Enduro Team sponsoring brands carries over from last year, ensuring smooth continuity to the project. Fox will take the reins on suspension, a vital part of a winning bike. Race Face will provide its new Era cranks, a revolution in resistance-to-weight construction. Oquo joins the project by contributing its Oquo MCZ32 Team aluminum wheels and MC32 LTD carbon wheels, in what will be the brand’s strong debut in the highest enduro race. OC will provide the stem and handlebars that perfectly integrate with the frame. Bosch continues its commitment to the team by equipping the Orbea Wild with the special Race edition of its Performance Line CX motor. Bluegrass, Fizik, Maxxis and Galfer also continue to support the Orbea Fox Enduro Team, which will be a key factor during such a demanding season.

This year, the team will have its own website that will act as its communication center. Riders, bikes, calendar...in it, you’ll find all the information to keep you updated on team news, including what clothes they’ll wear for both racing and leisure. To kick off 2023, the team will raffle a prize that includes the team’s Race Face apparel, Race Face protective gear and a Bluegrass enduro helmet. Of course, you can also stay up to date on the day-to-day activities of the Orbea Fox Enduro Team through its social channels.The union of these riders along with their endless talent, ambition, motivation and world-leading sponsors are sure to provide a year full of emotions and total dedication as they work their way to the top of the podium.

The team will have also a new website that you can check out HERE and Orbea will be giving away an exclusive team kit between all the people that get registered.
