The new Orbea Orca: a Lightweight Ride Feel
The feeling of a light and efficient Orca is unbeatable, and this instant acceleration on every pedal stroke, vibration absorption and responsive handling come from a frame which knows where it needs to be light and where it needs to be stiff. The lack of inertia means an agile, responsive ride as you carve through the corners and accelerate out the other side. The OMX Carbon frame weight is 745 grams.

Dominate the Climbs
Orca's light weight is the result of many marginal gains, focusing on the details and using the best materials across the range.

Stiff Where It Counts. Light Where It Matters.
the Orca is designed to be as light as possible without compromising our target rigidity, ensuring maximum efficiency on even the most demanding climbs. It is possible to make very light bikes; however, if you lose efficiency due to a lack of rigidity, then it makes no sense. When Orbea designed the Orca, they started with a target rigidity to ensure that even the strongest climbers could be sure of efficient power transmission. Then they designed the Orca to be as light as possible without compromising that number.

 
Aerodynamics in the Details
Orbea carefully integrated aerodynamic details wherever possible—never at the expense of the bike’s ultimate goal: pure, uncompromising lightness and although the fork is designed to minimise weight, the clever shape helps to reduce drag at the same time.

Size-tuned stiffness
If Orbea were to use the same carbon layup in each frame size, it would make larger frames less stiff, resulting in a different feel. That is why they alter the carbon layup for each frame size to ensure every Orca feels the same. It is a lot more work, but these are the small details you notice when you ride.

Slim, round frame profiles offer more compliance, and the lack of vibration on less-than-perfect roads adds to the effortless feeling of riding Orca. Of course, the Orca needs to maintain pedalling efficiency, and its Powerspine maximises rigidity and resists pedalling forces.
