Maximum Rider Weight

[MarquisMatsugae]

Most road bikes seem to be rated around 105kg. I'm well North of that, so stick to metal frames.

I feel so slim now.

Ah!
I (and possibly others) immediately thought "road bike" when you said "carbon frame". I don't know if that makes much difference but it's worth highlighting I think.

I read that as he wants to do cycling other than MTB (away from trails), i.e. On a roadbike. Dk if Orbea make carbon MTBs even

Might help if OP actually links the bike he is looking at :-)

They do. I just checked.
I also see how you interpreted it differently.

What does a modern ultralight roadbike look like if it is designed for a slim, non athletic whippet with chicken legs? How light can you go?
