Orbea Orca M21eTeam PWR

Orbea Orca M21eTeam PWR - The team edition with powermeter and electronic Sram shifting

Better, faster, lighter. The Orca is entering a new era for your next bike season. After thorough optimization of the aerodynamics, the Orca now sets a new benchmark in terms of lightweight construction. The developers have not only slimmed down the carbon frame, but also all components. This is the only way to achieve the set goal in lightweight construction. The Orca thus awakens all the feelings of happiness that can turn road cycling into an addiction: Immediate acceleration, vehement propulsion and the ability to literally fly up long Alpine passes. Yet the Orca has remained a good all-rounder: With tire clearance of up to 32 millimeters, it can almost be transformed into a gravel bike.

In the M21eTeam PWR version, the Orca is the first choice for ambitious hobby racers and active competitive athletes. This is because it is equipped ex works with a power meter crank, which helps to optimally allocate your power. Even when building form, monitoring the wattage is a prerequisite for efficient training. The crank is part of the Sram Force AXS shifting and braking group, in which the gear changes are transmitted via radio from the shift lever to the rear derailleur. The hydraulic Sram disc brakes are among the best on the market, they decelerate reliably in all weather conditions. Other highlights of the team version are an ultra-light carbon wheelset and a carbon seatpost. This component group is high-tech at its best!

Completely revised carbon monocoque frame

The most striking innovation are the rear stays now attached to the saddle sleeve. At the same time, the seatpost received a simpler but more efficient clamping mechanism. Further optimizations to the geometry: The wheelbase was slightly reduced, which improves the responsiveness when starting. And the fork blades received an aerodynamic lift. Orbea manufactures the Orca frame in two quality levels. The M21eTeam uses OMR carbon, which is slightly less complex to manufacture compared to the OMX variant. The price / performance ratio can really be seen. The bladder molding process ensures that no wrinkles and irregularities occur in the carbon mats during production. At Orbea, they are keen to use as little raw material as possible. Thanks to Orbea's ICR Plus system, all cables run completely internally from the stem onwards. This underlines the clean look of this extremely fast road racer.
