Stunningly fast without sacrificing versatility, handling or comfort
Real-world fast
Great handling
Heavier than the competition
Aero handlebar makes fitting tri bars tricky

A first taste of the new Orca OMX and Orca OMR lightweight road bikes
Light
Stiff
Efficient-feeling
Fairly customisable
OMX handling on the sharp side

Orbea commits to lightweight for more climbing speed in 7th-gen Orca carbon road racing bike, with frames from 680g & bikes from 6.7kg…
Jul 2023 · Calvin Zajac
The Orbea Orca 2024 promises a lightweight, pure riding experience. But can the lightweight climbing bike hold its own in the age of all-round aero bikes?
Well thought-out climbing concept
Playful riding characteristics, especially fun on fast descents
The OMX and OMR versions offer two bikes in one
Great value for money
Aero-optimisations are more style than substance
Apr 2022 · Aaron Borrill
With a design blueprint inspired by its Ordu time trial bike, the Orbea Orca Aero is one seriously fast machine, but does that come at a cost?
Beautiful paintwork
Typical Orbea build quality
Incredible straight-line speed
One of the best in-class ride qualities
Sharp, reactive handling
Good price point
Anonymous branding won't appeal to all
Heavy
Oct 2021 · Greg Kaplan
Orbea claims the new Orca bike will save you 15 watts at 40kph, and if you can manage 50kph, you'll save an additional 13 watts on the new aero road bike.
May 2020 · Sam Challis
In the latest Orca, Orbea has found the necessary sweet spot for any all-rounder
Neat integration
Handling
Well-rounded race bike
A little heavy
Orca range is cluttered
