Orbea Ordu M20Team

Ordu translates to "moment" in the Basque language. It's the perfect name for a bike created to capture the efforts of training and distill them into the present, a single focus on having the time of your life. The time you push so deep into the tunnel you can't recall the minutes spent on the road. When heart rate, wattage and gear selection completely vanish from your perception and it is only you and the bike. We all know moments like this - the rarest of events when somehow you ride beyond your capabilities and do the perfect effort. Everything clicks into place and you have the time of your life. These moments are what the Orbea Ordu represents.

The Ordu frame is constructed of monocoque carbon fiber that's shaped with subtle improvements to a traditional airfoil, specifically for helping riders go faster in conditions typically encountered on the road—including at lower speeds and higher yaw angles. The frame's Mini Taper headtube allows air to flow smoothly around the reduced frontal area and past a clever aerodynamic stem cover. This reduces drag and saves a few grams at the same time—no small feat. The Freeflow fork accounts for the high-pressure zone created by the rotation of the spokes and today's wider rims and tires, by widening the space between the fork legs to reduce turbulence. The overall result is that normal directional aerodynamics remain unchanged but the bike gets faster because the airspace inside the Freeflow fork blades is less chaotic. Additional design features include an oversized bottom bracket for increased frame stiffness and power transfer, internal cable routing for further streamlining, and power meter compatibility.

Riders who compete in both Time Trials and Triathlons can take advantage of Ordu’s true multisport geometry, without having to rely on workarounds. It's hard to give it your all if you feel like you’re making do. Ordu was designed under the premise that there’s no reason to settle for an almost perfect fit. With a calculated linear progression between sizes and the frankly massive range of saddle positions made possible by Orbea's symmetrical seat post, you’ll never have the nagging feeling that you’d be faster “if only". Plus, with its excellent parts spec and racy graphics, you'll have no excuse to not give it your all come race day.
