Performance, technology and style have always been cornerstones of cycling. We may not compete but we love the feel of a racing bike – an Orca that is light, fast and beautiful. Professional athletes, weekend warriors, Strava hunters and recreational riders all have similar aspirations – we love the machine as much as the lifestyle.

PRAISE THE LIGHT. Orca isn’t just light. It is 6.7kg of climbing technology designed to change how you reach the top. The feeling of a bike this light and efficient is unbeatable, and this instant acceleration, vibration absorption and responsive handling come from a frame which knows where it needs to be light and where it needs to be stiff. Welcome the ultimate climbing machine! DOMINATE THE CLIMBS Achieving Orca´s light weight required many marginal gains, focusing on the details and using the best materials across the range. Considering the bike as a package means working with component and wheel designers right from the start to optimize stiffness and weight. RIGID IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES But having the lightest bike is worth nothing if it isn’t stiff and efficient. When we designed Orca, we started with a target rigidity to ensure that even the strongest climbers could be sure of efficient power transmission. Then we designed Orca to be as light as possible without compromising that number. THE FEEL OF FREEDOM There is indeed just something special about the feel of a lightweight bike. We love the instant acceleration when you stamp on the pedals and the responsive, agile handling as you carve through the turns. NO TRADE-OFFS Our clever frame design means that stiff doesn't have to be uncomfortable. Rounder frame sections help reduce vibrations, saving energy on longer rides and offering you an advantage on that final climb. Wider clearance allows for tires of up to 32mm- maximising traction and compliance. PERFORMANCE DESIGN Orca is built on our understanding of performance and design, reflecting our belief that bikes should look great and ride better. Orca’s minimal, timeless lines give it its distinctive style and cover some very modern technology.

It’s hard to beat the sensation of power that comes from a great aero bike. What rider is ambivalent about a machine that is designed to give back free watts? Is there a competitor who doesn’t grasp every last advantage in the battle for speed? Orca Aero delivers these prizes – along with the willingness to to go all-out, all day, without hesitation. Long live the bike that balances the emotional and rational desires inside each of us – Long live Aero. PERFECT BALANCE Historically, considering only the three design factors of aerodynamics, stiffness and weight rarely yeilds dramatic improvement. Big gains in one area always compromise one or both of the others. The key to building the best aero road bike is finding the balance of these targets, and identifying additional performance factors that allow the rider to increase efficiency. AERODYNAMICS Aligning the frame with the airflow, optimizing cross-sections, smoothing transitions and myriad other improvements mean a big reduction in drag. Slipping effortlessly through the air, that instant feedback of a world-class aero bike. There is no better feeling. SUPERIOR ERGONOMICS Our all new OC Cockpit has been designed for a perfect balance of aerodynamics, stiffness to weight and ergonomics.

THE LIGHTEST AND MOST CAPABLE RACING BIKE Performance, technology, and style have always been cornerstones of cycling.

Professional athletes, weekend warriors, Strava hunters, and recreational riders all have similar aspirations – we love the machine as much as the lifestyle. ICR Internal Cable Routing is carefully routed along the best path under the stem and through the head tube, with no rub or rattle, and is optimized for both traditional and electronic shifting systems. HIDDEN CLAMP Orca's seat post clamp is smoothly integrated into the frame, decreasing the likelihood of contamination and increasing aerodynamics. Not to mention, it looks great too. SEATPOST CLAMP The sleek and secure clamp of the Orca seat post is a proprietary design that allows tilt adjustments to be made independently of the saddle fore-aft position. INTEGRATION Cables and brake hoses are routed directly inside the stem under an aero cover. A clever headset design and split stem spacers allow the cables to enter the frame while still permitting stem adjustment.

PERFECT BALANCE Historically, considering only the three design factors of aerodynamics, stiffness and weight rarely yield dramatic improvement. Big gains in one area always compromise one or both of the others. The key to building the best aero road bike is finding the balance of these targets, and identifying additional performance factors that allow the rider to increase efficiency. AERODYNAMICS- FREE SPEED Building on all of our aerodynamic knowledge. That means thousands of hours of modeling, wind tunnel sessions, and field testing fanatically considering every single component, searching for the sweet spot for Orca Aero. Aligning the frame with the airflow, optimizing cross-sections, smoothing transitions and a myriad of other improvements mean a big reduction in drag. Slipping effortlessly through the air, that instant feedback of a world-class aero bike. There is no better feeling. POWER TRANSMISSION The large majority of torsional and lateral loads are handled by the lower spine of the frame. A frame which is stiff in the right places means direct power transmission to the rear wheel. BALANCED HANDLING One of the most important points to consider when determining geometry is that the bike must be easy to ride. Going fast isn't just a by-product of good aerodynamics, it requires precise control over the bike. STIFFNESS- THE KEY TO POWER TRANSMISSION The large majority of torsional and lateral loads are handled by the lower spine of the frame. The headtube, downtube, and chainstays resist twisting. There is no doubt about it, a frame that is stiff in the right places transfers more of your watts to the rear wheel. Your power converted to speed. ERGONOMICS- DESIGNED FOR SUPERIOR ERGONOMICS Steering away from a fully integrated cockpit gives massive ergonomic gains for very little compromise. Rotate your bars, change stem lengths or change handlebar widths to get a perfect position, improve aerodynamics and reduce fatigue. Better Ergonomics improves rider comfort, aerodynamics, and control. Which means more speed! TOOLBOX BEHIND THE FRONT WHEEL The age-old question of where to carry essential tools, tubes, and identification is answered by the integrated Toolbox behind the front wheel. Like the bottle cage, the Toolbox is not only useful but aerodynamically beneficial. ORCA AERO IS FASTER WITH THE BOTTLE IN PLACE Airflow around the downtube rolls seamlessly past the bottle and cage, and nothing impedes the beautiful look of the frame. If you need more carrying capacity, there are standard bottle mounts on the down tube and seat tube. TIRE CLEARANCE With clearance for 30c tires, Orca Aero acknowledges that speed can also be comfortable. Modern road riders have discovered the advantages of bigger tires - A wider tire inflated to lower pressures can reduce rolling resistance and the added air volume dramatically increases compliance and traction.
