Orca
is the ultimate in bicycle technology. Orbea’s
engineering team has invested hundreds of hours in
creating a flagship bike that is stiffer, lighter,
and more comfortable at the same time. It is also
important that this new Orca be revolutionary in
style as well as performance. The result is a
machine that Bicycling, Men’s Health, and G.Q. all
agree looks as beautiful as it rides.
By
thinking outside of the traditional round tube
shape, Orbea has created a frame that rides as
beautifully as it looks. The “nerve” is the angular
structure that runs the entire length of the frame
unifying the front and rear triangles for excellent
torsional stiffness. At the same time, road
vibrations are better muted, resulting in a ride
that is both responsive and comfortable. This
function lends itself to a beautiful form, and we
have paid attention to the details with touches like
the machined head badge with integrated cable stops,
the aero seat collar and the sculpted dropouts. Even
the fibers themselves are cutting edge, Orbea blends
high-modulus M30S fibers with the most advanced
material on the market, M40J, to create this
award-winning design. Finally you can have stiffness
and comfort in the same package.
