Orca is the ultimate in bicycle technology. Orbea’s engineering team has invested hundreds of hours in creating a flagship bike that is stiffer, lighter, and more comfortable at the same time. It was also important that this new model be revolutionary in style as well as performance. The result is the new Orca, a machine that Bicycling, Men’s Health, and G.Q. all agree looks as beautiful as it rides.

Orbea achieved this by thinking outside the traditional round tube shape. SSN is a nerve width, wall thickness & lay up schedule adjustment for each frame size of the new Orbea Orca. The "nerve" begins at the integrated seat binder, runs along the top tube, around the headtube, to the bottom bracket, the chainstays and then up the seat stays. It runs the entire length of the frame unifying the front and rear triangles for excellent torsional stiffness. At the same time, road vibrations are better muted, resulting in a ride that is both responsive and comfortable. This function lends itself to a beautiful form, and we have paid attention to the details with touches like the machined head badge with integrated cable stops, the aero seat collar and the sculpted dropouts. Even the fibers themselves are cutting edge, Orbea blends high-modulus M30S fibers with the most advanced material on the market, M40J, to create this award-winning design. Finally you can have stiffness and comfort in the same package.
