Orbea Orca M35i
Product Details
The Orbea Orca M35i represents a remarkable evolution in road bike design, crafted specifically for riders who demand the ultimate climbing machine. While many bikes cater to aerodynamics or endurance, this 7th-generation Orca dedicates itself to delivering exceptional climbing performance through superior power transfer, agile handling, effective vibration damping, and impressively lightweight construction.
Celebrating two decades of Orca innovation, this latest version achieves climbing prowess through advanced engineering that minimizes overlaps in the carbon frame layup while carefully shaping the frame to eliminate unnecessary material accumulation. Orbea maintains weight discipline without sacrificing strength, selecting components like the OC Performance cockpit and newly developed Oquo wheels that complement the lightweight philosophy. Every detail from paint to frame hardware is handled at Orbea's Basque Country headquarters, ensuring precise control over factors affecting overall weight.
Lightweight construction alone doesn't guarantee performance, the Orca delivers through superior stiffness-to-weight ratio, responsive handling, and quick acceleration. Slightly shorter chainstays enhance maneuverability, while rounder tube shapes absorb vibrations to reduce rider fatigue and improve comfort across varied terrain. With clearance for tires up to 32mm, the Orca provides versatility for different riding conditions while maintaining its climbing-focused character.
Thoughtful aerodynamic integration enhances performance without compromising weight or ride quality. The ICR cable routing system minimizes drag, while the new seat clamp mechanism reduces surface area for improved aerodynamics. With the OMR carbon frame, Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed electronic shifting, and Oquo Road Performance wheels, the Orca M35i blends Orbea's rich heritage with cutting-edge technology for riders who prioritize climbing excellence.
