Orbea Orca M30iLTD PWR (2023)

Orbea Orca M30iLTD PWR - The new generation with Shimano Di2 upgrade

For 2023, the Orca will be even more modern - and even faster! Brand new Shimano electronic shifting, race-ready Fulcrum wheels and an aerodynamically optimized carbon frame push your limits even higher. The Orca M30iLTD PWR is back in the Orbea tradition. With every step you feel the years of experience from professional cycling. Hardly any other manufacturer understands so well to combine aggressiveness, aerodynamics and efficiency in the geometry. This simply makes you want to step on the gas, even if you're not competing. In addition to a high-tech frame, you also benefit from Orbea's exceptionally good ergonomics, which allows you to last many kilometers longer. For example, the OC cockpit with the aerodynamic carbon handlebar was also developed in our own laboratories. Its special shape helps to relax the shoulders and neck. Another feature is the ICR Plus system developed by Orbea, which ensures a visually clean integration of the components. Below the stem, the cables run invisibly into the head tube and further through the frame to the gears and brakes. This also includes preparation for front mounting of a computer on the stem.

Lightweight and aerodynamic OMX monocoque frame

Orbea manufactures the Orca frame in two levels of quality. The heart of the M30iLTD PWR is the exclusive OMX carbon, which is lighter than the slightly cheaper OMR carbon and is also more elaborately shaped. Under 1000 grams of frame weight are a real fighting chance. 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. Frame and fork offer freedom for mounting tires up to 32 mm wide. In the M30iLTD PWR version, the Orca comes with the brand new Shimano 105 Di2 group, which finally brings electric shifting into affordable regions. The ensemble includes, of course, usual low-maintenance Shimano disc brakes.

Based in the bike-crazy Basque country, the company's philosophy has always been to be close to the sport.
