The Orbea ORCA AERO Road Bike M20i REPLICA #S728 (Lotto Edition) is a direct celebration of Orbea's partnership with the Lotto Dstny pro cycling team. This machine is engineered for pure speed and efficiency, designed for riders who are relentlessly chasing podium finishes or mountain-top victories. It features the identical geometry and frame specifications used in the Grand Tours by the professional team, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of pro-level performance.
The Orca Aero is built to give back "free watts," with advanced aerodynamic shaping and myriad improvements that collectively reduce drag by 15W at 40kmph or an astounding 28W at 50kmph. Key aerodynamic features include a horizontal top tube and chainstays to improve airflow, an optimized down tube and seat tube profile for 25-28mm tires, and single-profile transitions between tubes to reduce turbulence. The rear wheel airflow is also optimized by aligning the upper seat tube junction, and the new aerodynamically designed fork is specifically optimized for high-profile wheels. This commitment to aerodynamics extends to modern solutions like the integrated Toolbox behind the front wheel (which is also aerodynamically beneficial) and the downtube's design that allows airflow to seamlessly roll past a bottle and cage, actually making the bike faster with a bottle in place.
Power and Precision are at the core of the Orca Aero. The frame is constructed with Orbea's OMX carbon, the pinnacle of carbon fiber bicycle manufacturing. This advanced monocoque construction ensures that the frame is stiff in precisely the right places, transferring more of your power directly to the rear wheel for explosive speed. This same stiffness also delivers razor-sharp, precise, and responsive handling, crucial for confident cornering at speed or holding your line in a sprint. Orbea's rigorous testing includes both high-speed efficiency tests on indoor velodromes and low-speed efficiency tests on steep climbs to validate aerodynamic benefits and power transmission.
Dynamic Race Handling is achieved through a meticulous geometry and ergonomic design. The Orca Aero features a shorter wheelbase and chainstays for a more responsive feel and better acceleration. A size-specific fork trail ensures improved control regardless of frame size, while a lower stack and bigger BB drop contribute to better aerodynamics and stability. Adaptive Ergonomics further enhance rider comfort, aerodynamics, and control, all translating into more speed.
This M20i REPLICA build comes equipped with a Shimano Ultegra R8100 12-Speed mechanical drivetrain, Shimano R8170 Hydraulic Disc Brakes for reliable stopping power, Oquo Road Performance RP45TEAM wheels for a balance of lightness and aerodynamics, and Vittoria Corsa N.Ext G2.0 Foldable 700x28c tires. High-performance components like the OC Road Aero RA11 Carbon handlebar and OC Road Aero RA10 Carbon Ultralight seatpost complete this pro-level package.
