With the Orca M30 Orbea shows what is possible at an affordable budget! Thanks to the revised, even lighter carbon frame, this all-rounder becomes a true climbing artist. The new Shimano 105 drivetrain ensures efficient power transmission with 2 x 12 gears on any terrain. A carbon seatpost underlines the consistent lightweight construction.

Orbea is one of the most innovative brands in the racing scene. After successfully improving the aerodynamics of the Orca last season, the Spaniards have put lightweight construction at the top of their to-do list. To achieve this, the developers not only slimmed down the carbon frame, but also all components. This is the only way to achieve the lightweight design target. The Orca thus arouses 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 M30 version, the Orca comes with the latest Shimano 105 drivetrain, which has been upgraded to 2 x 12 gears. The 105 components have been the benchmark in the mid-range segment for years. The hydraulic disc brakes are also from the market leader Shimano and convince with unsurpassed function and ease of service. At the tubeless wheels thru axles provide high lateral stiffness. A carbon seatpost rounds off the lightweight concept.
The most striking innovation are the rear stays, which now attach directly to the saddle sleeve. At the same time, the seatpost received a simpler but more efficient clamping mechanism. Other 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 M30 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.
