Orbea Orca M20 Team Disc Road Bike 2020

The Orbea Orca M20 Team Disc Road Bike is light and stiff, yet comfortable, with precise handling and an aggressive racing geometry. The OMR carbon frame is created to prevent flex in the headtube, downtube and chainstays, transmitting all your watts to the road, while some compliance in the top tube and seatstays keep the ride smooth so there's no excess harshness. Although not a fully aero bike, there are small touches that cut drag so there's no compromise to speed on the flats. A Freeflow fork reduces turbulence, the oval shape of the downtube, seat tube and seatstays reduces drag by 10% over the bike's predecessor, and there's a neatly integrated hidden seatpost clamp.

The bike is built up with ever-reliable Shimano Ultegra disc components. Just one step below the brand's flagship model, Ultegra brings similar performance - smooth, precise shifting, powerful braking - with a very minimal weight penalty. If you do want to eventually upgrade, the frame and fork are compatible with both mechanical and electronic systems. With the bike using an ICR stem, all cables are routed internally for a clean aesthetics while limiting the risk of contamination. The pairing of DT Swiss 1850 wheels and Hutchinson Fusion 5 All Season tyres in a wider 28mm width means you get a combination of smooth, fast, and more comfortable rolling. Finishing off the bike is a frame-size-specific crank length, stem length and handlebar width so you'll be able to dial in an optimised, comfortable position.

Highlights

• OMR carbon fibre construction
• Orca Racing Geometry is born from almost 100 years of designing road racing machines. The position is aggressive, comfortable and efficient. Handling is precise and intuitive
• Dynamic structure balances stiffness and compliance
• Freeflow spreads the fork legs away from the wheel to reduce pressure and turbulence – the airspace inside the Freeflow fork blades is smoother, resulting in less drag
• The downtube, seat tube and seatstay sections of the new Orca are ovalised for a 10% drag reduction over the previous version
• ICR (Internal Cable Routing) - Cables are carefully routed along the best path under the stem and through the head tube with no rub or rattle
• Optimised for both traditional and electronic shifting systems
• The ICR stem is compatible with a faceplate-mounted computer mount
• The Orca’s seatpost clamp is integrated smoothly into the frame, decreasing the likelihood of contamination and increasing aerodynamics
• A new saddle fastening mechanism offers an unprecedented setting range. The reversible nut reaches a setback position of 0-25mm, meanwhile, the tilt adjustment screw enables you to achieve an angle of +/-10°
• Shimano Ultegra R8000 11-speed drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes
• DT Swiss E 1850 TLR clincher wheels and Hutchinson Fusion 5 All Season 28c clincher tyres
