Orbea Orca Aero M20iLTD

The Orbea Orca Aero M20iLTD stands as a true embodiment of innovation in the realm of legendary road bikes, meticulously crafted to excel in performance. Orbea's approach to achieving this is by prioritizing crucial factors, including exceptional power transfer, agile handling, effective vibration damping, and, most notably, an impressively lightweight design. This iteration introduces several innovations aimed at fulfilling its racing ambitions.

In the quest for an exceptionally lightweight frame, Orbea has painstakingly minimized overlaps in the carbon frame layup, ensuring the avoidance of sharp edges or epoxy buildup. This attention to detail extends to the component selection, where Orbea incorporates its own OC Performance cockpits and Vision 55 SC wheels, all contributing to the bike's overall weight reduction. Moreover, Orbea retains full control over the paint and frame hardware processes at its Basque Country headquarters, enabling a finely tuned approach to weight management.

On the Orbea Orca Aero M20iLTD, Orbea recognizes the significance of aero optimization, incorporating such features wherever aerodynamics do not compromise weight or ride quality. Notably, the "ICR" cable routing minimizes drag at the front end, while the redesigned seat clamp mechanism reduces surface area for improved aerodynamic efficiency. The result is a road bike that not only boasts minimal, timeless aesthetics but also seamlessly integrates modern technology. The M20iLTD model, in particular, underscores Orbea's commitment to performance, featuring a lightweight OMX level carbon frame and a Shimano Ultegra Di2 12-speed drivetrain.
