Anyone got experience of Orbea mountain bikes?

Hi all

A new cycle shop has just opened in my neck of the woods (Dorchester, Dorset), specialising in Orbea.

I gather that Orbea has a fantastic reputation for their road bikes but I cannot find much relating to their mountain bikes. Link to their current output here: http://www.orbea.com/en/bicis/tipos/mtb_rigidas/

I was looking at the Sport model. I suspect that they are a little bit overpriced but, as the shop is only a couple of miles from my house, I wondered if it may be worth paying that little bit more for the good service possibilities.

I appreciate all comments!

They seem OK but as you say overpriced. A friend had a Hydra Sport it which I used to service, it looked the business but was overweight and overpriced. I think there are better deals to be had elsewhere.
