2012 Orbea Orca Bronze

Orbea Orca technology under $2,500?! Wow.

Take a look at the new Orca Bronze from Orbea – A freshly introduced road bike designed to carve up your favorite rides without emptying your bank account.  Thanks to Orbea’s use of their blend of intermediate modulus carbon, the Orca Bronze is noticeably more compliant than the Silver or Gold level versions, while only slightly heavier.  The result is a frame that rides smooth as silk and feels great even on longer rides.  While the carbon blend is designed for greater compliance, don’t be fooled.  A tapered head tube, redesigned fork, oversized BB, and monocoque construction provide stiffness where you want it.  Acceleration is fast, and cornering is sharp.  Additionally, Orbea’s Size Specific Nerve technology optimizes ride quality for each individual frame size, a benefit of carbon that can’t be matched by comparably priced alloy bikes.  Overall the Orca Bronze is a perfect ride for anyone who wants to put long days in the saddle, without a huge performance sacrifice or killing their budget.
