Long Live Orca Aero

It's hard to beat the feeling of power that a big aero bike provides. What rider is indifferent to a bike designed for extra watts? What Pro would say no to a machine that optimises its power in the battle for speed? Orca Aero gives you these gains to go for it, all day long, without hesitation. Long live the bike where your emotional and rational desires meet - Long Live Orca Aero.

Perfect Balance

Historically, considering only aerodynamics, stiffness and weight as design factors has rarely translated into dramatic improvement. Making a big improvement in one of these three areas always negatively affects the others. Thus, we conclude that the key to building the best aerodynamic bike is to find the balance between these three key areas, discovering additional performance factors that allow the rider to maximise their efficiency.

Aerodynamics

Aligning the frame to the flow of air, optimising junction points, smoothing transitions to a single profile and many other improvements made mean a significant reduction in drag. Cutting through the wind effortlessly is immediate confirmation that this is a world-class aero bike. It's an unbeatable feeling.

Power Transmission

The lower half of the frame carries the vast majority of torsional and lateral loads. Adequate stiffness at the right points means direct power transmission to the rear wheel.

Balanced Handling

Going fast is not only a direct consequence of good aerodynamics, but also requires easy and comfortable control.

Superior Ergonomics

Our new OC Cockpit has been designed to achieve a perfect balance between aerodynamics, stiffness/weight and ergonomics.
