The Orbea ORCA M35i road bike is dedicated to climbers, offering the best uphill performance with instant acceleration, agile ride, vibration damping and excellent power transfer. Attention to detail was key in the creation of this model, with the goal of further reducing weight without compromising stiffness. Orbea reduced overlaps in the frame, using fewer but larger carbon pieces, and took care with the paint and components, minimizing unnecessary material. The bicycle is designed for efficient power transmission, thanks to the Powerspine design of the frame that handles torsional and lateral loads. The geometry remains responsive and agile, while rounded frame sections reduce vibration and increase efficiency during longer rides. Despite the focus on lightness, Orbea has kept an eye on aerodynamics, introducing small details to reduce air resistance without compromising the lightweight and agile feel.
