Orbea Orca
Perfectly Balanced All-Round Road Bike
The Orbea Orca delivers an exceptional ride that’s hard to describe but guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Its effortless agility is matched by a smooth yet engaging ride, thanks to sophisticated vibration damping and handling that is unrivalled. Descending has never been this exhilarating!
Our Verdict
The Orbea Orca has quickly cemented itself as one of the greatest lightweight climbing bikes available on the market today, but what’s impressed us is just how incredible the Orca is as a high performance all-rounder. Responsive, comfortable, balanced, and with a timeless design.
With a choice of carbon fibre layups, either OMR carbon for a more compliant and forgiving ride over longer distances, or the lighter OMX carbon for a sharpness of acceleration and an added kick on the climbs, Orbea have created a bike that appeals to a wide range of riders.
Add to this the ability to customise the Orca even further in Orbea’s MyO configurator, and building your dream machine just became a reality.
Whether it’s long steady miles in the saddle, a bucket list ride, your next local hill climb, that elusive KOM, or an ultra distance adventure on the cards, the Orca could be the bike for you

While the Orbea Orca is ideal for climbers seeking the ultimate hill bike, it’s much more than that. It offers the most balanced ride feel and precise handling of any road bike we’ve tested—and we’ve ridden plenty, so that’s saying something! Check out our in-house review of the Orca here>> And it’s not just our opinion—the reviews have been outstanding.
It’s been a while since I’ve jumped on a bike and grinned at what it offers. The whole package is on point, with the weight, stiffness, and comfort; it harks back and looks forward at the same time. It’s not trying to be anything or add any extra features that would be frivolous or detract from its design goal. You expect it to glide up hills, and it does; you expect it to chew downhills aggressively, and it does. It has that all-day comfort and the snappiness you expect in a race bike. Velo Magazine
The Orbea Orca delivers effortless acceleration, agility, and responsiveness—the hallmarks of a lightweight bike. Pound for pound, the Orca range offers some of the lightest bikes available at every key price point, without relying on impractical, non-standard components or sacrificing handling and comfort.

It climbed effortlessly, and handled predictably through fast successive curves on the descents, eager to accelerate back out of the corners. GranFondo Magazine
The Orca comes in two variants, both featuring the same geometry and tube shapes but differing in carbon fibre mix and layup. The OMX (LTD) range prioritizes minimal weight, razor-sharp handling, and ultra-responsive stiffness. Meanwhile, the OMR range provides added smoothness, steady handling, and exceptional comfort for long-distance rides.

Orbea has achieved remarkable weight reduction with the Orca by meticulously addressing every detail. As frames get lighter, it becomes increasingly challenging to shed more weight without sacrificing performance, particularly with regards to power transfer and reliability, which is always a key concern for Orbea, because all of their frames carry a lifetime warranty. The result of this obsessive attention to detail is a 750g OMX medium frame, featured in the Orca LTD models, paired with a 360g fork.

The OMR frame weighs 1030g, with a 410g fork. Both the OMX and OMR frames incorporate stiffer fibres in key areas to optimize power transfer. However, the OMR frame uses more elastic—and slightly heavier—fibres to enhance ride comfort, particularly on longer rides or rougher surfaces. This design makes the OMR Orca frames the lightest available in the endurance racing category.

The Orca OMR was the choice of staff member and former World Tour pro Molly Weaver when setting a new Guinness World Record for the 4800 mile circumnavigation of mainland Britain in June. Offering the optimal balance of speed, handling and comfort that is essential for such an undertaking, Molly describes it as “without doubt the best all round road bike I’ve ever ridden”.
By collaborating with OQUO wheels and their in-house OC Components from the outset, Orbea achieves a perfectly balanced bike while shaving off extra grams. OQUO wheels are extremely light, ultra-reliable, and deliver high performance, with the latest RP35 LTD wheelset weighing in at just 1244g. The RP (Road Performance) stems are among the lightest on the market, offering a practical solution for hidden cable and hose routing. For those who prefer a fully integrated one-piece cockpit, a number of models come equipped with Orbea’s brand new integrated carbon handlebar and stem.

Paint and hardware play a crucial role in achieving lower frame weights. Orbea paints its frames in-house at their headquarters in the Basque Country, allowing for meticulous control over the process and further weight reduction. On the lightest raw “carbon view” finishes, the total paint weight is just 15g, while the frame hardware adds only 20g.
A key factor in the Orca’s agility lies in its geometry, which remains largely unchanged from its predecessor. The only notable adjustment is shorter chainstays and, consequently, a shorter wheelbase, designed to deliver the responsiveness and agility that climbers demand. The rounder frame sections help absorb vibrations, conserving energy on longer rides. Additionally, the wider clearance accommodates tyres up to 32mm, maximizing traction and comfort while also reducing rolling resistance.
Orbea’s approach with the Orca is to prioritise aerodynamics wherever it doesn’t compromise weight or ride feel. A prime example is the cable routing, which minimises drag without adding weight. The newly designed seat clamp mechanism is not only simple and efficient but also reduces surface area to enhance aerodynamics. Even the fork, while optimised for minimal weight, features a shape that reduces drag.

The Orbea Orca embodies Orbea’s philosophy of performance and design, reflecting their belief that a bike should not only perform exceptionally but also look stunning. The Orca’s clean, timeless lines exude a distinctive style, and with most models offering free custom ‘MyO‘ (My Orbea) paint options, you can make your Orca truly one of a kind.
MyO CUSTOM COLOURS
Orbea’s MyO (My Orbea) system is a unique offering in the industry, allowing customers to personalise their frameset with fully custom colours on most Orca models—all at no additional cost. Each bike is painted and assembled to order at Orbea’s headquarters in Mallabia, located in the heart of the Basque Country.

The on-line MyO custom design app is intuitive and user-friendly, offering an extensive range of frame colour combinations and a fun design experience. The app also provides a rough estimate of lead times, which are typically a few weeks longer than for standard colours. Once your order is placed and added to Orbea’s painting schedule, we’ll be able to give you more precise production timings.
The MyO programme also includes a selection of component options. However, for more personalised tailoring or fully bespoke builds, please contact us at Epic Cycles. We offer virtually unlimited customisation options to ensure your bike meets your exact specifications.
