Highlights of the Orbea Orca M30iLTD PWR Roadbike

• Engineering a frame that uses as much carbon as possible of course saves weight but it also contributes to the sophistication and refinement of each Orbea.
• Orbea works directly with specialists at Mondragon University in the Basque Country to analyze and test aerodynamic concepts. The downtube, seat tube and seat stay sections of the new Orca are ovalized and subtly flattened for a 10% drag reduction over the previous version.
• OMX frames blend high modulus fibers and high strength fibers exclusively. Prepreg carbon sheets are laser cut to minimize excess materials and overlap, and hours of premolding is done to ensure optimal compaction with the smallest amount of carbon. A full EPS mold and Latex inserts are used to eliminate wrinkles and imperfections.
• The D-shaped proprietary seatpost of the OMX frame aids aerodynamics as well as comfort. An internal battery plug tucks away a battery, and a rubber collar protects against the elements with a refined look. The simple and secure clamp of the Orca seatpost is a proprietary design that allows adjustment of tilt to be made independently of saddle fore-aft position.
• Internal Cable Routing is carefully routed along the best path under the stem and trough the head tube, with no rub or rattle, and is optimized for both traditional and electric shifting system.
• Orca’s seat post clamp is integrated smoothly into the frame, decreasing the likelihood of contamination and increasing aerodynamics. Of course, it looks great too. Just one of the small details that make Orca smart and beautiful.
• Orca Racing 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. 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.
• This simple and elegant ergonomic solution elevates the tops and drops of the traditional road bar, so your neck and shoulders can relax a bit more, focusing on a better ride ahead. Increase endurance with a position that enhances comfort.
• wide tires with lower air pressures provide increased comfort and are durable.
