Orbea presents the new Ordu OME
The Ordu OME has been designed to take you beyond the limits of the possible, to the magical terrain in which you do not feel the wind or yield to pain. To the territory where crossing the finish line is no longer enough and it is only worth crushing your challenge.
The new Ordu
The competition always brings out the best in you. Give everything in pursuit of excellence, the feeling of controlled physical chaos, the satisfaction of knowing that you have not left anything ... Those are the reasons why you go to a race. The personal objectives are to fix them, reach them and overcome them. Success can come in small doses or in large quantities, which are a good mental fuel during a good season.
1 AERODYNAMIC DESIGN
When designing the revolutionary Ordu OME frame, aerodynamics were given top priority. The 1-1/8” straight head tube allows the bike to be bike an extraordinarily thin head tube that reduces the front of the machine to a minimum. With a width of just 38 mm, it reduces aerodynamic drag thanks to its perfect integration into the main triangle. This crucial area thus allows for better air circulation throughout the frame. Triathletes are not the only athletes who can benefit from these advantages: the frame and fork comply with UCI regulations, making the Ordu OME a serious contender in races or time trial stages. Front or rear brakes from any standard road bike can be used, making it a machine suitable for all types of users and for equipping it with the best products on the market.
2 RIGIDITY OF THE TABLE
While aerodynamics draws the design of the frame towards narrower tubes that offer the least possible resistance to air, the frame must be rigid in order to transmit the energy to the rear wheel. The advantages obtained in the fight against the wind should not be translated into a lower stiffness, a loss of braking capacity or a questionable driving. The Ordu OME is more aerodynamic than its predecessor, but it also significantly outperforms it in terms of rigidity. This results in a faster bike, which is better driven and develops more power on the road.
3 ADJUSTMENT OF GEOMETRY AND PHILOSOPHY
What we suggest is an evolution in the geometry of the bicycle. This represents a radically different way of considering the design and construction of bicycle frames, which makes it possible for the Ordu OME to adapt to a wider variety of men and women and follow a more linear progression of size. The new range includes sizes XS, SM, MD and LG, and guarantees that anyone can mount an Ordu OME, regardless of the size of it. This progressiveness of sizes ensures that our XS bike offers the smallest fit and that subsequent sizes increase linearly and predictably.
4 MONOHULL
The monocoque construction offers a carbon structure with optimal performance and long-term reliability. We mold the structures of a piece so that each tube is connected to the next, with continuous fibers in all the important joints. When you advance, your bicycle is subject to various forces, such as tension, compression or torsion. Our monocoque frames allow an optimal distribution of these forces throughout the structure thanks to the perfect fusion of the materials that compose it.
The construction of the OME CARBON carbon frame (Orbea Monocoque Evolution) takes advantage of the combination of high modulus carbon fibers with standard fibers to achieve a perfect balance between performance, durability and value.
