Product Details
The Orbea Orca Aero M21ELTD brings elite-level aerodynamic performance within reach, delivering the same drag-reducing technology and race-focused engineering used at the highest levels of competition. Designed to free watts through intelligent integration, every element of the Orca Aero works together to help you ride faster with less effort—while maintaining the sharp handling and control demanded by aggressive racing and spirited riding.
Its meticulously optimized aerodynamic profile delivers real, measurable gains, saving up to 15 watts at 40 km/h and 28 watts at 50 km/h compared to traditional road bikes. A horizontal top tube and chainstays smooth airflow, while down tube and seat tube profiles are tuned specifically for 25–28mm tires—the modern balance of speed and comfort. Clean junctions throughout the frame minimize turbulence, rear wheel integration reduces drag, and the aerodynamic fork is optimized for high-profile wheels. Paired with the OQUO Road Performance RP45LTD wheelset, the result is aerodynamic efficiency that translates directly into real-world speed.
The Orca Aero’s OMX carbon monocoque construction delivers stiffness exactly where it matters most. Strategic reinforcement at the bottom bracket, chainstays, and head tube ensures every watt of rider input is converted into forward motion, producing explosive acceleration and confident sprinting performance. This precision-tuned stiffness also sharpens handling, delivering composed, predictable control during high-speed cornering and technical descents—performance validated through extensive efficiency and power-transfer testing.
Race-focused geometry balances aggressive positioning with stability at speed. Shorter chainstays and wheelbase enhance acceleration and responsiveness, while size-specific tuning of fork trail, stack height, and bottom bracket drop ensures consistent handling across all frame sizes. The adjustable Orca Aero OMX seatpost offers 25mm of setback adjustment and ±10° of tilt, allowing riders to fine-tune comfort and dial in an optimal aerodynamic position.
Built for competitive racers and performance-driven riders, the Orca Aero M21eLTD is equipped with premium components throughout. The SRAM Force AXS 12-speed wireless drivetrain delivers precise, reliable shifting without cables to disrupt airflow, while the OC SH-RA10 integrated cockpit provides lightweight, sprint-ready stiffness with clean ergonomics. An ICR Road stem maintains seamless cable integration with multiple length options for perfect fit. This is aerodynamic performance without compromise—a cohesive, speed-focused race bike engineered to help you go faster, more efficiently.
