PERFECT BALANCE Historically, considering only the three design factors of aerodynamics, stiffness, and weight rarely yields dramatic improvement. Significant 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 improving myriad other aspects mean a considerable 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 larger majority of torsional and lateral loads are handled by the lower spine of the frame. A stiff frame in the right places means direct power transmission to the rear wheel. BALANCED HANDLING One of the most essential 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. SENSOR ERGONOMICS Orbea's all-new OC Cockpit has been designed to perfectly balance aerodynamics, stiffness to weight, and ergonomics.
