The Orca M30i features Shimano's 105 Di2 groupset, providing you electronic, partially wireless shifting. With unprecedented shifting speed, be prepared to cut through the climbs, flats, and descents like they aren’t even there.

Over the past couple of years, Orbea has significantly improved their carbon fiber layups and frame construction. They use their in-house OMR carbon lay-up to carefully reinforce critical frame areas which provide unbelievable stiffness to weight ratios. The forces acting on every part of the frame are taken into consideration and then exactly the right amount of material is utilized to implement strength, rigidity, and weight savings.

The Orca M30i effortlessly cheats air resistance. A holistic improvement to essentially every aspect of the Orca M30i yields an eager responsiveness from the bike. In the name of optimization, Orbea specifically designed the down tube and seat tube for 25-30mm tires. Tire selection is a very personal decision and Orbea puts the power in your hands.

Comfort is often an aspect that falls through the cracks in creating sleek road bikes. An uncomfortable cyclist is a slow cyclist; if you’re constantly shifting about in search of a pleasant position, you’re creating lots of drag. You’re also mentally distracted from the road in front of you. One of our favorite aspects about the 2023 Orbea Orca M30i is the ease of customization. Orbea designed the Orca M30i without a fully integrated cockpit to provide handlebar adjustability because they know that everyone has different reach numbers, flexibility, and riding styles.

Rotate your bars, change stem length, rotate your seat angle, and make your competition regret their back-killing one-position integrated bar/stems. Fast can, and must be comfortable; always remember, optimized dynamics are faster than trivial weight savings.
