Can we just appreciate the fact that GCN used a stick and a rock to hold this state of the art bike up for the shots when they stod still.
It's called genuis.
You just can't beat mother nature! 🙌
After all the fanfare over the shadow stand, too
@@antonioguevara4188even if they sell a stand that looks invisible in pictures
Does the bike really care?
What do you think of the new Orbea Orca bike?
beautiful bike but it is still an orbea. i do not think they have the brand awareness for this pricing.
not my geometry, but it looks absolutely fantastic!
The best you can buy.Considered design❤
This is a proper light bike!
Nice bike. Looks like a proper climber like a Cervelo R5
I own and love the previous Orca, I bet this will be just as good. I like the change back to traditional seat stays rather than the dropped seat stays. Nice bike orbea 👍
As an owner of 4 previous Orbea's and a Orbea fanboy I approve! Love they're getting back to their climbing roots!
Happy to see Orbea offering a true climbing bike. Absolutely love it. So very light weight and you get to choose colors, phenomenal. Way to go Orbea!
It's a super cool bike! We hope you've entered the competition? 👀
@@gcn this competition is not available in Australia👎
I think it is great that Orbea has released a bike that is light and fast. I agree with you Simon, that it is difficult to really feel the results of all that "aero", but you sure feel satisfied when you pick up a nice light bike that is stiff and responsive.
An absolutely gorgeous bike! Very sleek with well though-out details. Would love to have one to conquer these hills!
I'll always be a fan of lightweight bikes. I love how responsive they feel when you're climbing.
The biggest aero gains are your body position. Get that right, and you'll leave the aero lads that don't get it right in the dust with your lightweight bike. And as someone who lives on a hill, nothing is worse than a heavy bike. At my crawl speeds, I don't see any aero gains as I breathe so hard that I just offset it with my exhales...😂
I’ve never ridden a lightweight bike or an aero bike so i can only speculate the difference
No better feeling than flying up a climb 💨 How do you feel about aero bikes?
I agree - I ride a 2019 Orca - it still amazes me on the climbs
Lightweight and responsive, best combination.
I've always been a huge fan of Orbea, and tend to favour lightweight bikes as well ! :)
My first orbea onyx was wonderful but after leaping up to the orca in 2021 with the full customized build I was amazed at its great all round handling.I would love to try out this new orca it sounds incredible.
Gorgeous! 😮 Finally, a new bike model with classic style. 👍🏻
As the owner of an Orbea Orca M20ILTD, and extremely happy with it, and also an absolute believer in the Orbea business style and way of thinking about performance bicycles, I do really love this new iteration of the Orca. It would come in quite handy around my new stomping grounds in Spain, where the hills and mountains do require a lighter and nimbler bike.
It reminds me somewhat of a Canyon Ultimate, or my own bike - a Factor O2. As a taller guy that also enjoys hills, I'm already carrying more momentum on the flats but if a bike doesn't feel good going uphill you are going to feel that. A light bike feels great and it's inspiring. This new Orca looks badass and I'm glad to see them prioritize an appreciation for the mountains.
It's definitely a refreshing surprise to see a return to elevated seat stays. It certainly suits the bike and dropped stays should only be on aero bikes. I love the agressive look of an aero bike (gonna get hate for that) but the classy silhouette of a lightweight road bike had been lost, until now. Well done Orbea.
What about the Bianchi Specialissima? That's a good example of a classic-looking, climbing-focused bike as well, isn't it?
@@fabriziomonopoli5074 A mate just bought one, and it is a work of art!
I'm in love with this Orbea and was thinking about trying to get one this spring. And the fact you can create your own colors for the bike is awesome.😊
Wow what a bike! Just a dream! I only got into cycling less than a year ago but I'm obsessed with it and love hill climbs... Well I love the feeling at the top having not stopped! I completely agree that ighter weight is an absolute priority on the difficult hills as aero plays such a smaller role at these lower speeds. Your channel has also been inspirational and so educational...I particularly loved the North coast 500. Simply stunning ❤
@GlobalCycling_Network.. sounds exciting!
Love the twig-shaped kickstand - nice touch.
I love a light bike. I love taking it off the workstand, I love carrying it down the steps, I love loading it on the rack. I love when people pick it up to check the weight. And I love peddling it.
I must say, this is a breath of fresh air compared to all the new releases we been seeing. Well done Orbea ❤
It's a pretty great looking bike isn't it! Fancy getting your hands on one? 👉 gcn.eu/WinOrbeaOrca
Great looking bike! This colour really suits it aswell. I love that lightweigt bikes are not forgotten. 😁👌🏻
I‘m riding the previous ORCA OMX and I like the design much more. Personally I would choose a Aero bike over a very light bike and work on loose a bit body weight. Thanks for introduction.
First od all because first impression is the most important... love this paint!!!!
I'm small person and for me more enjoy is climbing... 6.6 kg sounds great because it seems this bike is completly prepared for that kind of battles... Anyway love carres of clean look and something kinds od aerodynamics! This should be uphill killer!!
It's a beautiful bike. I've a friend who owns an Orca and has ridden it for going on ten years now. It even survived a pretty bad wreck. Great quality - thanks for the review.
That bike looks stunning. Big fan of the low weight and the look Orbea achieve whilst keeping that in mind 🎉
I love lightweight and I love a traditional seat cluster even more.
It's just amazing. Congratulations for this contest which will make one happy. 🎉🎉😊😊
I have an old one from 2007 and I know how light that one is. . . If this is even lighter. . then OMG. . . Respect . . Well presented as well Si. .
Absolutely stunning bike, I've ridden a previous incarnation around Cyprus and the ride feel was amazing. Lightweight over aero all the time.
Having just bought a new wheel set that prioritizes weight savings over aerodynamics, i am with Orbea and their design parameters. Looks like it would be a blast to ride.
The traditionale seat stays suits the bike way better, in my opinion! 🤩 It definitily would make me much happier having a bike that looks this, then going that little bit faster with a more aerodynamic setup
Looks really nice with those integrated cables. I like the fact that it is available without one piece stem/bar combination.
I would love to see it in british racing green.
Awesome looking new Orbea Orca and it's definitely aero enough.💯👌🏻
Absolutely stunning bike! I need all the help I can get for climbing.
Awesome clean bike 🚲… Cheers and good luck to those who win this cool Orbea
Beautiful bike! Nice range of prices, even at entry level. Best choice to set a stiffness goal and then look at going for the lightest option. Now I don’t have a climbing bike but a rather heavy badly geared old bike. It would suit me and I will ride it to the factory to have a look at its birthing ground 🎉
Orbea continue to be my favorite bike brand with this beauty!
I think the best was is the combination of weight and aero. And that is exactly what they did. Stunning bike :)
I love my Orca Aero... and now I want a new climber. Stunning bike.
I just bought a lightweight bike as my first proper road bike, it was 7.1 with no pedals.
It's amazing how much easier it is to ride up the hills back to my apartment.
Haven't yet taken it up to the mountain roads though.
What a beautiful bike, as a rider surround by mountains and rolling hills I would say a stiff lightweight bike is the go to option.
Points to Orbea for some really thoughtful design choices and what appears to be a great result - a very cool bike that stands out from the crowd. 👍🏻
SO nice to see full height seat stays!
Finally, a superb option for a lightweight disc frame in the market! Hopefully frameset option will be available in Malaysia soon!
I switched from Giant to Orbea with my mountainbike already. Been loving the bike massively. Would love to drop all my friends on the racer too ;)
Absolute Beauty of a bike.
Great looking bike , slick frame design not too flashy , for sure performance is increible. 👌
It looks absolutely amazing and its weight of only 6.6kg is mindbogeling.
Personally, I really like the aspect of rapid acceleration due to the low weight and the design of course :D
Love the look and the higher seat post of the bike! Would love to win my first race bike :)
I have an Orca OMX with Rival & was surprised by the weight. It doesn’t feel that heavy & it’s still pretty snappy.
Nice looking bike. I would choose lightweight over aero any day. It is more versatile IMO and it's benefits are easier to evaluate.
Damn! Even looks better than my current electric orange Orca! That one is amazing (fast) to ride, but due to the looks, this will even be faster! 🧡
It's about time the seat stays meet the top tube again! Beautiful a classical design!
Love it! Back to a more traditional shape!! Looks mint
Love the traditional paired-down look of the bike.
I love the elevated seatstays with a ‘twist’ at the top!
What a BEAUTIFUL Bike!! Bring on the climbs!!!!!
I love the look of aero bikes, I’m never going to be a beast on the hills, so I’d probably go for aero over lightweight. The best weight savings I can make are on my waistline.
Cracking looking bike, Orbea have smashed it. 🚴👍
Lovely looking bike. At 196cm tall I need more than an aero bike to go fast but this is nearly half the weight of my current bike so definitely make more of a difference.
From a dropped seatstay to traditional double diamond frame, oddly although this is a design shift of going backward, I quite like it in terms of aesthetics
I have a 2017 Madone 9. Aero with more traditional double diamond frame. I refuse to replace it. Aero and still looks classy, imo.
It's hard to beat those classic lines 👀
Its great that they are acknowledging that not everyone is aero everything and gives a nice light alternative for the market.
I'm not a climber, but compliance and comfort on bad tarmac, are much appreciated :-)
That's a good looking bike! Love the look of the traditional diamond frame with the raised seat stays and flat top tube (top gave at least!), now what colour to choose 🤔.....
Really pleased to see a manufacturer offering a really lightweight stunningly beautiful bike. I don't race so aero isn't a big deal for me (and many new aero bikes are, in my opinion, becoming quite ugly). The new Orca looks absolutely fantastic!
This bike is really great! And there are so many ways to really personalize this bike, wow!
Absolutely love it!! I still prefer a light bike over aero.
Looks and sounds awesome, would love to have a bike like this.
Dream Bike for me.. And Not all People Drive a Specialized 😅 Love it
Airo and super light weight is always exciting especially when pro’s use the latest gear. It is easy to trick oneself into thinking that we can buy pro performance instead on working hard on the biggest gains, oneself (strength, Airo positions etc) - love! a response bike what a amazing setup from Orbea
Lightweight wins for me every time. Such a gorgeous looking bike.
Love this bike and the color is a perfect match to my
RAGBRAI L 50th anniversary gold kit. I need a climbing n
Bike to go with my Canyon Endurace
Such a sweet bike. A welcome change to the "aero everything" we've seen in recent years. Don't get me wrong, aero is good, but this bike is going to be special. Thanks for the great video.
Excellent, Orbea have a CX bike!!!
Living in the Netherlands I would usually prefer aero. But since I enjoy climbing a big mountain over flat courses and my uphill speed is not big enough for aero to be utmost important, I would still go for light weight. Comes in handy raising money for cancer research by climbing Alpe d’Huez 6 times in a day.
A beautiful bike. I’m all for a lightweight bike. I love my Orbea M20i Team this would be a great step up b
I much prefer lightweight bikes to aero - in fact, the Orca looks like my idea of a dream bike. It looks slick and I bet it's wonderful on hills.
I love aero bikes but I think it comes down to where you live and what you prefer. The important thing is to keep cycling
I discovered cycling as a pastime last year. I treated myself to an aluminium gravel bike to cover all bases. I have now discovered that being 60 yrs old, I need all the help I can get on the hills. I light bike such as this great looking Orbea would be a dream for me.
Timely. I have been hoping to buy a new Orca soon.
Ohhh man!! Sooo nice. I was sooo close to getting an Orbea Orca last year but the sale fell through.
Orbea just launched my new bike. I want a pure climbing bike and they have definitely built one that suits my desires. The fact that I can get it in orange with the MyO program seals the deal!
Looks great! This gold colour is No1.
Looks lovely. You have one of the best jobs in the world.
Nice bike, would love it as an upgrade to my current orbea
awesome bike and what a lightweight machine
My preference is also lightweight over aero. Minimalist, climbing, I live near the mountains. Maybe I'd feel differently if I lived by the beach, but because my terrain in undulating, I prefer lightweight.
Finally a classic looking bike
Except horisontal top tube. 😊 I love those.
What I like most, contrary to the prevailing fashion, is how the seat stay is connected to the seat tube.
It gives the bike a classic look 🙂
Lots of people are loving those classic lines... we would be inclined to agree! 👀
@@gcnorbea is from spain?
If you live in flat areas, then go aero. If you are surrounded by hills, then go lightweight. If you can find something that does both, then fantastic. There must be a good reason (some) TDF riders switch bikes halfway through a time trial that has flats and hills. But given my average speed is
I need all the help I can get climbing lol... beauty bike
I wanted to buy the Orca, but my shop could not get the customized ones, and the other standard ORCAs he could not get in for more than 6 months or more. I reside in California. I was bummed because I really did not want to wait that long. That being said it would have been my first choice as I had owned an Orbea MTB and really liked it. The road bike looked phenomenal.
What a beast for the only thing counting on Strava: climbing!!!
The thing about weight is that it is tangible. Aero is a bit harder to quantify. So at the cafe stop on your local group ride you can easily win the lightest bike top trumps but harder to say your bike is 5W faster at 45kph with a yaw angle of 30 degrees.
This is something I always say to people - from a pure science perspective an aero bike might be faster, but a lightweight bike feels alive and makes you feel good - which makes you ride it faster. Especially on the slowest parts of a course (hills) where you are likely to lose the most time, feeling that you are on something that responds and rewards your efforts can make a big difference to how hard you push.
The rider will always be the biggest factor in determining performance, and psychology is an important factor to consider, not just going down a rabbit hole of pure physics.
Nice to see such a beautiful lightweight bike
bike looks so good, love the seat stays
Just when I thought my stable of bikes was complete :o( . Stunning looking machine.
I have the 2020 OMR team ad love it. Would be nice to get the same bike but much lighter.
I’ve been riding an Orbea Asphalt since 2006. This beautiful, classic looking bike would be a worthy replacement 🤩
Looks matter, and this looks way better than any of the aero bikes out there!
Looks do matter! What do you make of this new rocket? 🚀
Sweeeet
It does. The hyper areo look is too clunky looking for me.
