Orbea Orca M10iLTD PWR

The Orbea Orca M11eLTD PWR represents climbing technology designed to change how riders reach the top. The feeling of a bike this light and efficient is unbeatable, with instant acceleration, vibration absorption, and responsive handling derived from a frame that knows precisely where it needs to be light and where it needs to be stiff.

Built around the Orbea Orca OMX carbon frame weighing just 745g through monocoque construction, this represents the pinnacle of carbon fiber bicycle manufacturing. Achieving this remarkable weight required obsessing over countless details—from coating (15g) to paint (25g) to hardware (40g)—with the sum of all parts creating an extraordinary 6.7kg complete bike weight. The OMX frame uses fewer carbon pieces, meaning fewer overlaps and almost 300g weight savings with no change in rigidity, though requiring significantly more effort during carbon layup.

The engineering philosophy balances minimal weight with target rigidity to ensure even the strongest climbers experience efficient power transmission. Size-tuned stiffness means each frame size receives custom carbon layup maintaining consistent ride feel across the complete range, more work, but critical details riders notice immediately. The Powerspine structure comprising headtube, downtube, and chainstays handles the large majority of torsional and lateral loads, resisting twisting and transmitting power efficiently to the rear wheel.

Minimalist design extends throughout, from seat clamp to derailleur hangers, saving weight while maintaining clean lines. Carefully designed tube intersections remove sharp edges where excess epoxy gathers, reducing weight without disadvantages. Slim, round frame profiles offer compliance that reduces vibration on imperfect roads without compromising pedaling efficiency, while clearance for 32C tires acknowledges that modern speed can also mean comfort. Balanced geometry ensures precise control essential for high-speed riding.

The lightweight construction creates instant pedal response with agile handling through corners and minimal inertia that enhances responsiveness during climbing and sprinting. Shimano Dura-Ace R9200-P 2x12 electronic shifting with integrated power meter (36x52t) provides smooth, precise gear changes with championship-level performance data, while the Oquo Road Performance RP35LTD wheelset delivers responsive acceleration characteristics.

Perfect for elite climbers and serious enthusiasts demanding the ultimate in lightweight performance without compromising efficiency, the Orca M11eLTD PWR embodies effortless climbing through obsessive attention to detail and precision engineering that redefines what lightweight road bikes can achieve.
