Orbea
Orca M35i
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.
Orbea
Overview
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.
Stiff Where It Counts. Light Where It Matters.
Orca is designed to be as light as possible without compromising our target rigidity, ensuring maximum efficiency on even the most demanding climbs.
Lightweight Ride Feel
Instant acceleration when you stamp on the pedals and the responsive, agile handling as you carve through the turns.
Pure Light
Reducing weight on a bike is all about taking care of the details. The lighter the frame gets, the more complicated it becomes to remove more weight without compromising anything. Orca's journey to lightness was about obsessing over the details.
By the Numbers
Our frame weights are an average of several production frames, randomly selected. Only by tightly controlling every process can you consistently reduce weight. Honing in on the smallest of details like coating (15 g), paint (25 g) and hardware (40 g) allows us to lower the bottom line. The sum of all parts is a remarkable 6.7 kg for the M10i LTD.
Aerodynamics in the Details
We carefully integrated aerodynamic details wherever possible—never at the expense of the bike’s ultimate goal: pure, uncompromising lightness.
Fork
And although the fork is designed to minimize weight, the clever shape helps to reduce drag at the same time.
Seatpost clamp
The new seat post clamp adds a touch of style. At the same time it is lighter than ever and the minimalist design improves aerodynamics.
Lightweight components
From our premium OC components to ultra-responsive OQUO wheels, each part is chosen not just for its weight, but for the way it elevates the ride.
OC SH-RA10 Integrated Cockpit - 313 g
An exceptionally light and aerodynamic integrated cockpit, with fully internal routing, ergonomic tops, and sprint-ready stiffness — all engineered for speed.
OC HP11 Handlebar - 190 g
Advanced carbon manufacturing ensures these bars are stiff, robust and light enough for the most demanding riders.
Premium OQUO Wheels
The perfect complement to Orca, whether you prioritise lightness, aerodynamics, or the ideal balance of both.
