Having received your support during the Orbea GF Vitoria-Gasteiz and hearing your suggestions, we at Orbea want to continue to share with you our passion for cycling with a new cycling tourism event. This time, it will take place on the roads and mountain passes of the historic territory of Bizkaia.

It’s an event that will combine emblematic locations with demanding passes that are unknown to many. The race covers a single distance and represents a real athletic challenge, probably that last great challenge of the season.

The route of the Orbea Klasika Bilbao-Bizkaia is not one for someone just getting started in the world of cycling tourism; quite the opposite, it’s an event for advanced cycling tourists. For those who have survived a thousand battles, those who defy the law of balance and gravity.

The Orbea Klasika Bilbao-Bizkaia covers 128 km and 2,800 meters of positive elevation change. The very nature of the mountain passes, which cover a distance of nearly 5 kilometers, with slopes greater than 20% in some places, makes it advisable to use special gears.
