The Highlights of The Orbea Orca Bikes
The Orca series from Orbea offers everything you need for demanding climbs and intensive training sessions. The proven geometry of the Orbea Orca guarantees excellent power transfer and precise acceleration. The bike responds extremely directly and allows you to tackle even the steepest climbs with ease. In addition, the handling remains balanced and stable, which is particularly advantageous at high speeds and on descents. Although the focus is on climbing performance, the Orbea Orca also offers an outstanding riding experience on lengthy rides and fast descents: with a tire clearance of 32 mm and spacers that sit under the stem, you can easily achieve the comfort and riding position of an endurance road bike.
With two types of carbon frames to suit different needs and budgets, Orbea road bikes set new standards in terms of weight and performance: the high-end variant, the OMX carbon frame, is made from the most advanced fibres and offers the lowest weight with maximum stiffness. The cheaper alternative, the OMR frame, is slightly heavier but offers excellent stiffness and durability. In-house components such as the stem, handlebar and seatpost contribute to weight reduction and quality control. Another highlight of the Orbea Orca series is the in-house OQUO road bike wheels, which are available in three different versions in carbon or aluminum.
