Orbea Orca M40

The Orbea Orca's design uses the most technologically advanced carbon construction to make the most sophisticated frames possible—a complex and painstaking process with results you will appreciate on the road. Its geometry is born from almost 100 years of designing road racing bikes and is the perfect balance of responsiveness and stability. The position is aggressive to maximize body aerodynamics and efficiency, while the handling is precise and intuitive. Angles and dimensions are considered carefully across a range of sizes to put more power to the road with every pedal stroke, and more power means more speed.

In order to best accommodate for external forces on the frame—whether cornering stresses or vibration from rough roads—the Orca uses narrow, thin-walled seatstays to give maximum traction and control over rough surfaces without compromising the bike's overall rigidity. The natural flex patterns created by the carbon layup and minimal bulk of the top tube and seat stays deliver a dynamic, smooth ride that feels like floating over rough roads. The Freeflow fork utilizes a wider opening where the rim and tire pass through, reducing pressure and turbulence which results in a faster bike. Internal routing results in a cleaner aesthetic and has the added benefit of protecting the cables from the elements. With sharp colors that really make it stand out and a carefully curated suite of performance components, the Orca is perfect for the weekend warrior and dedicated racer alike.
