Orbea Orca Aero M21eTEAM Disc Road Bike 2021

The Orbea Orca Aero M21eTEAM Disc Road Bike is a wind-cheating steed that delivers in any high powered riding situation thanks to a potent blend of innovative design traits, advanced materials and premium components. Reducing drag while promoting unwavering efficiency enables the Orca Aero to charge across heavily undulating terrain or surge to the finish line with consummate ease.

The frame is conceived with the finest carbon material, and this is realised within a monocoque construction. This single structure places extra plies in the head tube, bottom bracket and seat stay zones to provide a rigid core for immediate power transfer. The frame tube sections feature unique cross-sections that incorporate a double-radius curve, a heavily truncated rear edge and flat sides to improve the airflow and reduce drag. Bowed fork legs, an aero seat post and cleverly positioned bottle cage mounts all complement this by further refining the aerodynamics of the chassis.

Instant acceleration is provided by the light and stiff carbon rim of the Vision 40 SC wheelset. The rim further assists thanks to its wind tunnel tuned profile that enables it to slip through the air with adeptness and composure. While aerodynamic, the mid-depth of the rim also allows trouble-free and confident riding in windy conditions.

A wireless electronic SRAM Force eTap AXS drivetrain changes through the 24 gears in a punctilious fashion to afford smooth passage across any topography. At the same time, the hydraulic disc brake setup bestows modulated and precise stopping power even in the worst of weather conditions.

Highlights

• A wind defying thoroughbred that is ultimately stiff and efficient for all high-speed road riding scenarios
• The monocoque frame and forks are made from the highest grade of OMR carbon fibre
• A Double Radius tube profiles with truncated trailing edges and flattened sides improve the airflow and reduce drag
• The head tube, bottom bracket and chain stay areas provide a rigid core for optimal power transfer
• Clean internal cable routing is low maintenance, aerodynamic and aesthetically pleasing
• Multiple bottle cage mounting points allow aerodynamics and centre of gravity to be fine-tuned
• Freeflow fork design spreads the legs away from the wheel to reduce air turbulence and drag
• An aero seatpost reduces air turbulence, absorbs road surface vibrations and offers a variety of saddle fore and aft positions
• Vision 40 SC Disc Carbon wheels are light, wind tunnel verified and are compatible with tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyres
• SRAM Force eTap AXS wireless, electronic gears are precise and reliable
• SRAM Force eTap AXS hydraulic disc brakes offer powerful and modulated stopping power
