Assembled in Spain, but the frames are made in China.

From wiki

Orbea is a bicycle manufacturer based in Mallabia, Spain. It is part of the Mondragón Cooperative Corporation and Spain's largest bicycle manufacturer. Orbea manufactures and assembles bikes at their own factory in Mallabia, the other models being made in Portugal and frameset are from China.[1]

I'll have to dig deeper, but I read on NSMB that they recently started making their carbon frames in either Spain or Portugal. I'll see if I can verify that or not.

Santa Cruz frames are for sure made in china, it even has a nice sticker “china” on the bottom of the downtube….
Generally, if they do not explicitely say its made in uk or usa etc its made in china..if the explicitely say “Designed in Usa” you for sure know it”s made in china…

Scott frameset is made in taiwan assembled in swiss
Pole is made in Finland, cool but weird bike
Antidote is made in Poland

There's also Unno. Alchemy also says many of their carbon frames are made in house, but I didn't see where they specify which ones.

A friend of mine has had two Alchemy's and visited their facility, their suspension frames are made in Asia.

I'm not looking at making my bikes from carbon in the foreseeable future. If I did, how much value do y'all place on US manufacturing?

As mentioned, Allied is made in Arkansas. Price reflects that, wish I could swing the cost. Giant pulled their production out of China a few years ago, I think when the tariffs started?, and did not send it back despite the huge uptick in demand in 2020. That is what I read a few years ago, anyway, I suppose it may have changed.

Last I heard (maybe 2015) all carbon and premium aluminum Giants were made in Taiwan.
