Orbea Avant M40 Team Disc Road Bike 2020

Orbea Avant M40 Team Disc Road Bike 2020

Offering a stiff yet highly compliant frameset, Avant Endurance Geometry, reliable componentry and frame-size-specific finishing kit, the Orbea Avant M40 Team Disc Road Bike is best suited to those preferring a slightly more relaxed position. You'll be comfortable on rough roads hour after hour thanks to the Dynamic Structure, locating flex zones where required for an incredibly smooth ride. The carbon construction uses Orbea Monocoque Performance (OMP) technology, combining the standard layup with high modulus and high strength fibres to increase the stiffness-to-weight ratio, and torsional rigidity in the headtube, downtube and chainstays efficiently transfer your power through the pedals, so there's no compromise to performance.

Shimano Tiagra is a reliable 10-speed groupset with a good range of gears for climbing and descending, with hydraulic disc brakes taking care of stopping in all conditions. Cables are routed internally in keeping with the sleek lines of the frame, which also serves to reduce contamination and consequently improve the longevity of your setup.

Highlights

• Orbea Monocoque Performance (OMP) adds high modulus and high strength fibres to a standard layup to improve the stiffness-to-weight ratio
• Bladder moulding with polyurethane headtube and bottom bracket inserts eliminates wrinkles in critical zones, allowing less carbon to be used while maintaining strength
• Avant’s Dynamic Structure provides a smooth, light ride without bulky compromises like tubing inserts and elastomers. The natural flex patterns created by the carbon layup and minimal bulk of the top tube and seatstays deliver a dynamic, smooth ride that feels like floating over rough roads
• The headtube, downtube and chainstays are shaped to resist twisting and transmit power to the rear wheel
• Avant Endurance Geometry endurance ergonomics result in a bike that is easier to ride and increases stamina. Handling is precise and intuitive
• The Avant fork uses a shallower, rounded-blade profile and longer fork legs to offer the best combination of elasticity, tyre clearance and torsional stiffness. The increased axle-to-crown height is offset by a shorter headtube to maintain stack measurements and improve aesthetics
• Shimano Tiagra 10-speed disc groupset
• Orbea clincher wheels and Vittoria Zafiro IV 28c tyres
