Description
Orca isn’t just light. It is 6.7kg of climbing technology designed to change how you reach the top. Welcome the ultimate climbing machine!Achieving Orca´s light weight required many marginal gains, focusing on the details and using the best materials across the range. Considering the bike as a package means working with component and wheel designers right from the start to optimize stiffness and weight. But having the lightest bike is worth nothing if it isn’t stiff and efficient. When Orbea designed Orca, they started with a target rigidity to ensure that even the strongest climbers could be sure of efficient power transmission and to be as light as possible without compromising that number.There is indeed just something special about the feel of a lightweight bike. We love the instant acceleration when you stamp on the pedals and the responsive, agile handling as you carve through the turns. The clever frame design means that stiff doesn't have to be uncomfortable. Rounder frame sections help reduce vibrations, saving energy on longer rides and offering you an advantage on that final climb. Wider clearance allows for tires of up to 32mm- maximising traction and compliance.
