It is 6.7 kg of climbing technology designed to change how you reach the top. The feeling of a bike this light and efficient is unbeatable, and this instant acceleration, vibration absorption and responsive handling come from a frame which knows where it needs to be light and where it needs to be stiff. Dominate the Climbs Achieving Orca's light weight required many marginal gains, focusing on the details and using the best materials across the range. Considering the bike as a package means working with component and wheel designers right from the start to optimize stiffness and weight. Stiff Where It Counts. Light Where It Matters. Orca is designed to be as light as possible without compromising our target rigidity, ensuring maximum efficiency on even the most demanding climbs. Lightweight Ride Feel Instant acceleration when you stamp on the pedals and the responsive, agile handling as you carve through the turns. Pure Light Reducing weight on a bike is all about taking care of the details. The lighter the frame gets, the more complicated it becomes to remove more weight without compromising anything. Orca's journey to lightness was about obsessing over the details. By the Numbers Our frame weights are an average of several production frames, randomly selected. Only by tightly controlling every process can you consistently reduce weight. Honing in on the smallest of details like coating (15 g), paint (25 g) and hardware (40 g) allows us to lower the bottom line. The sum of all parts is a remarkable 6.7 kg for the M10i LTD. Aerodynamics in the Details We carefully integrated aerodynamic details wherever possible—never at the expense of the bike’s ultimate goal: pure, uncompromising lightness. Fork And although the fork is designed to minimize weight, the clever shape helps to reduce drag at the same time. Seatpost clamp The new seat post clamp adds a touch of style. At the same time it is lighter than ever and the minimalist design improves aerodynamics. Lightweight components From our premium OC components to ultra-responsive OQUO wheels, each part is chosen not just for its weight, but for the way it elevates the ride. OC Components OC SH-RA10 Integrated Cockpit - 313 g An exceptionally light and aerodynamic integrated cockpit, with fully internal routing, ergonomic tops, and sprint-ready stiffness — all engineered for speed. OC HP11 Handlebar - 190 g Advanced carbon manufacturing ensures these bars are stiff, robust and light enough for the most demanding riders. Premium OQUO Wheels The perfect complement to Orca, whether you prioritise lightness, aerodynamics, or the ideal balance of both. OQUO RA57 LTD A versatile, aero, and lightweight carbon rim with a 57mm profile and our Q10 hub. OQUO RP45 LTD A great balance of aerodynamics and weight with a 45mm carbon rim. OQUO RP35 LTD A 35 mm carbon rim and Q10 hub make up the lightest, stiffest wheels for the most demanding climbers. OQUO Q10 Hub Unmatched performance from premium materials and design: 45T with 8º engagement for instant power, ceramic treatment for precision, Sharktooth Design for reliability, and Crest-to-Crest Spring for efficient stress management. Available only on RA57LTD, RP50LTD, and RP35LTD. Stiff Where It Counts. Light Where It Matters It is possible to make very light bikes; however, if you lose efficiency due to a lack of rigidity, then it makes no sense. When we designed Orca, we started with a target rigidity to ensure that even the strongest climbers could be sure of efficient power transmission. Then we designed Orca to be as light as possible without compromising that number. Lightweight Ride Feel The feel of a lightweight bike is unbeatable, that instant response and the feeling of acceleration on every pedal stroke. The lack of inertia means an agile, responsive ride as you carve through the corners and accelerate out the other side. Compliant but efficient Slim, round frame profiles offer more compliance, and the lack of vibration on less-than-perfect roads adds to the effortless feeling of riding Orca. Of course, we need to maintain pedalling efficiency, and their Powerspine maximises rigidity and resists pedalling forces. Versatile tire clearance With clearance for 32C tires, Orca acknowledges that speed can also be comfortable. Modern road riders have discovered the advantages of bigger tires on rougher surfaces. Balanced handling For a high-performance bike, one of the most important points to consider is that the bike must be easy to ride. Going fast requires precise control over the bike, and here, geometry plays a key role. Shorter wheelbase is more responsive Size-specific fork trail gives improved control Racing ergonomics = more watts Powerspine The lower spine of the frame handles the large majority of torsional and lateral loads. The headtube, downtube and chainstays resist twisting and transmit power to the rear wheel. Size-tuned stiffness If we were to use the same carbon layup in each frame size, it would make larger frames less stiff, resulting in a different feel. That is why we alter the carbon layup for each frame size to ensure every Orca feels the same. It is a lot more work, but these are the small details you notice when you ride.
