ORCA M10iLTD PWR

Designed from the ground up for gravel, Terra isn't a repurposed road bike or a slimmed down mountain bike. Add comfort to your road adventures, finally discover where that dirt trail leads or let your trips spread overnight. There is a wide world out there and Terra is ready to explore it with you.

Orca isn’t just light. It is 6.7kg 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. Welcome the ultimate climbing machine!

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.

RIGID IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES

But having the lightest bike is worth nothing if it isn’t stiff and efficient. 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.

THE FEEL OF FREEDOM

There is indeed just something special about the feel of a lightweight bike. We love the instant acceleration when you stamp on the pedals and the responsive, agile handling as you carve through the turns.

NO TRADE-OFFS

Our clever frame design means that stiff doesn't have to be uncomfortable. Rounder frame sections help reduce vibrations, saving energy on longer rides and offering you an advantage on that final climb. Wider clearance allows for tires of up to 32mm- maximising traction and compliance.

PERFORMANCE DESIGN

Orca is built on our understanding of performance and design, reflecting our belief that bikes should look great and ride better. Orca’s minimal, timeless lines give it its distinctive style and cover some very modern technology.

PURE LIGHT

The most efficient Aero bikes can never be truly lightweight and in the same way the lightest bikes can never be super aero. Trying to make a tool do many different jobs often results in something that isn’t good at anything.

FRAME WEIGHT

When the gradient of the climb means that your speed drops below around 15kmph, gravity starts to affect your ride more than air resistance. The gradient at which this occurs depends on each rider. Here a lightweight bike offers clear advantages.

RIGID IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES

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.

SIZE TUNED STIFFNESS

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.

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.

INSTANT RESPONSE

The feel of a lightweight bike is unmistakable, 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.

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.

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.

FORK

And although the fork is designed to minimise weight, the clever shape helps to reduce drag at the same time.
