Orbea Orca M20iTeam (2023)

Orbea Orca M20 iTeam - The Orca with Shimano electronic shifting

For a long time, people have wondered what else could be improved on a road bike. One of the answers was the introduction of electronic shifting, which has now evolved from fiction to a technically mature must-have for ambitious racers. And for the manufacturer Orbea, which has been involved in racing for many years, another building block to the perfect racing bike. Because the Orca series was developed to exceed limits. This is also noticeable in the geometry, which combines aggressiveness, aerodynamics and efficiency with the help of a shortened stack (protrusion height) and extended Reachs (horizontal distance to the head tube / stem). Add to this the exceptional ergonomics of the OC cockpit, which was also developed in the company's own laboratories. With its special shape, the handlebar helps to relax the shoulders and neck. Below the stem, the cables run invisibly into the head tube and further through the frame to the gearshift and brakes. The ICR Plus system is a prime example of clean integration. This also includes the preparation for the front mounting of a computer on the stem.

Lightweight monocoque frame with Ultegra Di2 components

The basis of the Orca is the newly developed OMR carbon frame, which weighs just about 1000 grams. The modern monocoque construction uses the bladder molding process. It ensures that no wrinkles and irregularities occur in the carbon mats and thus always as little raw material as possible is consumed. The rear end, which is set low on the seat tube, provides a vibration-damping effect that helps the rider's muscles tire less quickly. Frame and fork offer freedom for mounting tires up to 32 mm wide. Equipped with the sophisticated Shimano Ultegra Di2, the M20 iTeam sets new standards in performance. Probably no other circuit on the market changes the gears with such surgical precision. There is no need to discuss the quality and serviceability of the Ultegra disc brakes. A lightweight Fulcrum Racing wheelset with thru axles, a Prologo Scratch racing saddle and a carbon seatpost make the M20 iTeam perfect.
