The ORBEA PRELOAD ROD LINKAGE OIZ 13 is a genuine frame hardware component designed specifically for the Orbea Oiz full-suspension platform. This preload rod linkage element is part of the suspension pivot system, helping to keep the rear triangle precisely aligned and the shock working smoothly through its travel. By maintaining correct preload and structural integrity at the linkage, it contributes to a responsive, efficient and predictable ride feel on demanding cross-country and marathon terrain.
Using an original Orbea linkage part ensures optimal compatibility with your Oiz frame, correct fitment with existing hardware and long-term durability under real-world riding loads. It is ideal for riders refreshing a well-used bike, performing a pivot overhaul or replacing worn or damaged linkage hardware after seasons of racing and training. When installed as part of a properly serviced suspension system, this preload rod linkage helps reduce unwanted play, creaks and flex, so your Oiz can deliver the precise handling, efficient power transfer and confident control it was designed for on technical climbs, fast descents and everything in between.
