Long live Aero

It’s hard to beat the sensation of power that comes from a great aero bike. What rider is ambivalent about a machine that is designed to give back free watts? Is there a competitor who doesn’t grasp every last advantage in the battle for speed? Orca Aero delivers these prizes – along with the willingness to go all-out, all day, without hesitation. Long live the bike that balances the emotional and rational desires inside each of us – Long live Aero.

HOW WE MADE IT

In professional cycling, partnerships matter and the right combination can distinguish a good team from a great one, turning near misses into podium finishes. See the first steps of how Orbea and Lotto Dstny joined forces in the latest video.

PERFECT BALANCE

Historically, considering only the three design factors of aerodynamics, stiffness, and weight rarely yields dramatic improvement. Big gains in one area always compromise one or both of the others. The key to building the best aero road bike is finding the balance of these targets and identifying additional performance factors that allow the rider to increase efficiency.

AERODYNAMICS

Aligning the frame with the airflow, optimizing cross-sections, smoothing transitions, and myriad other improvements mean a big reduction in drag. Slipping effortlessly through the air, that instant feedback of a world-class aero bike. There is no better feeling.

POWER TRANSMISSION

The large majority of torsional and lateral loads are handled by the lower spine of the frame. A frame which is stiff in the right places means direct power transmission to the rear wheel.

BALANCED HANDLING

One of the most important points to consider when determining geometry is that the bike must be easy to ride. Going fast isn’t just a by-product of good aerodynamics; it requires precise control over the bike.

SUPERIOR ERGONOMICS

Our all-new OC Cockpit has been designed for a perfect balance of aerodynamics, stiffness to weight, and ergonomics.

OQUO WHEELS

Orca Aero is available with OQUO’s Performance range, focusing on weight and aerodynamics for modern, high-performance road bikes. With a choice of deeper, drag-reducing profiles, you can configure your perfect speed machine.
