Orbea Orca Aero - new frame for 2022, review

Orbea has totally revamped its Orca Aero road frame for 2022 and here Caroline takes you through all the features of the new bike. While the design process included acres of aero testing, it also went through a few loops of feedback from riders and the result is a frame that is both incredibly fast and well balanced. It handles beautifully but also gives the rider many options in terms of specifying geometry so you can get the fit right for you and the style of riding you do. Caroline has ridden this bike in lots of amazing locations and the review features footage from Mallorca, Andorra, and France.

Beautiful bike, the base price is also reasonable.

I've avoided aero bikes in the past as it's just too hilly here in the American northeast. This could be a game changer.

@@thebricksession Weird question, but what is your inseam? I have odd dimensions for my height with shorter legs and longer torso. Some manufacturer calculators downsize me from 54 to 51/52.
