Orbea has recalled its Avant road bike, with H40, H50 and H45XI models from 2025 and 2026 said to be affected.
According to the European Commission's Safety Gate, the EU rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products, the issue with the bike concerns the fork, which could “crack and break”, leading to injuries.
The bike's fork is made of carbon fibre, while the rest of the frame is aluminium.
The affected models are from MY2025 and MY2026, with the UK’s Office for Product Safety and Standards sharing the following affected barcodes:
