We believe that our values and understanding of riders worldwide will enable us to create solutions that will make it easy for distributors to manage their businesses and enjoy the unique products we are offering our customers now and in the future. The effort we have made over the years is beginning to yield returns, and this is the philosophy that will prevail in the future. ORBEA will continue to be a global solution provider that aims for its customers to have a full choice of the very best bikes, accessories, clothing and extras.

ORBEA is a brand with international prestige that has undergone major change and significant growth over the last few years. We are a brand known for putting forward ideas and spearheading changes that will help all of us rethink our vision of the bicycle industry.

These technical programs started out with the highly successful Orca, a prodigy incorporating some of the best features ever incorporated in a bicycle and continued with the presentation of the Alma, possibly one of the greatest-ever developments in the carbon hardtail field. It would be practically impossible to beat our previous efforts and here’s a thought: how many brands in the world have won gold medals in both Road Cycling and Mountain Biking at the same Olympic Games? The answer is: Orbea, at the 2008 Beijing Games. Two bicycles at the pinnacle of technology at the service of two of the biggest names in cycling: SAMUEL SANCHEZ, who won a gold medal in Road Cycling, and JULIEN ABSALON, with a gold in MTB. Orbea products tried and tested by the elite.

While race wins are exciting proof of our product, it is our development of SSN technology, GSB carbon schedules, DCR cable routing, ATTRACTION and numerous other unique features that keep us ahead. We develop latest-generation products with outstanding performance, and above all we have been able to combine the needs of top competition riders with those of the average user, so that our customers and friends can benefit from our knowledge and experience. We just keep on innovating, and we know the future holds products that will always be at the forefront. Just as you should expect from Orbea.

Orbea has become a clear international reference point for the industry, with exceptional, original technological solutions.

Ever since debut of the innovative design of our famous Orca, we are proud to say that our ideas have changed the way things are done, and even the way new products are developed and built. SSN technology is an unprecedented example of construction and adaptability in the production of carbon frames. In the case of the groundbreaking ALMA we collaborated with the best MTB racer in history, Julien Absalon, to create this high-tech wonder. New highly-resistant and extremely lightweight materials and better adapted designs are the result of this strategy of research and development we started many years ago and which certainly doesn’t end here, as none of our competitors can equal our team of engineers and our resources. This will guarantee us better products in the future, solutions we cannot yet reveal as they will be unveiled in the next few years, when products will appear that seem like precise science today.

Our work hasn’t finished yet. To be continued...

Orbea means constant innovation. Orbea means people working together to create the best response to the new challenges the cycling market is facing today and will face tomorrow. New uses and new trends, new lifestyles and rigorous sporting requirements lead us along a path we set years ago. We generate technological solutions that have become important landmarks in our industry.

�06 �07

Orbea has formed a group of engineers and professionals from different fields and all of them work together to constantly redefine technological solutions and to anticipate the real needs of users. We seek continuous improvement of our development processes, to anticipate technologies that will solve some of the problems of cycling.

We have stood out (and received recognition) in recent years for being the brand that has offered the most technological innovation, but that’s not enough for us. We have brought together a work team that will play a very significant part in Orbea’s strategy. It’s not enough to innovate: we also need to change our way of seeing things, and that’s exactly what we’re doing. If you want to remain the same, you have to constantly evolve

Movement has always been a key feature of the products we create. Perhaps that’s why we realized a long time back that innovation and development are always on the move. Just like the demands of a market that’s well used to constant renewal of its products.

Orbea Design is based on what we consider the four essential elements of bicycle design: the riders, the state-of-the-art technology, the creation process and the trends. The logo we have chosen for Orbea Design explains it perfectly: each of these concepts is a key feature of the way we work.

WE LOVE BIKESThe human factor. We are people, not machines. We are people who listen to you so that we can adapt our products to your needs. When you talk, we listen, and we take your ideas into account. Forums, blogs, interviews, trips, routes, travel… all that information shows us the way. You show us the way.

WE KNOW THE TECHNOLOGYOur aim is to make life easier for you, to find the solution to your needs. We don’t believe in design for design’s sake, and we don’t invent unnecessary technologies. We create innovation, we create solutions to adapt to you more and more as time goes by. That’s where our value lies. Monocoque is a technology that provides a lifetime guarantee for your frame. Who else can offer you something like that? That’s technology applied to life.

WE CREATEWe have the skill to create what we imagine. The proof is in our experience, and in our bicycles (Orca, Alma, Ordu, Oiz...), designed with a dream in mind: to amaze you, and a challenge in mind: to offer you the very best, day after day.

WE SET TRENDSAcquiring an Orbea bicycle is an experience. You know you’re buying a companion that will never go out of fashion, because we keep ahead of the trends. And not just that: we create them. We take note of everything that’s going on so it can form part of our products. State-of-the-art technology innovation applied to your needs, an ear for your opinions… we are a market reference in design.

Orbea knows that monocoque technology is the only technology that can guarantee a structure with an optimum performance and reliability that will last, and which has become our standard.

They also give us great freedom in the design of creative shapes for new frames, durability and fatigue resistance. This is why we can offer a lifetime guarantee on our frames: monocoque assures a stable structure with properties guaranteed not to alter over time.

Stresses are optimally distributed over the entire structure, there are no seals and no joints, thus minimizing critical areas. This means your frame will stand up to the toughest demands, and the structure will not lose any of its characteristics, however much you use it.

Monocoque technology assures the perfect fusion of the composite materials, not only on the visible external layers but also internally, thus preventing any loss of performance caused by fatigue at the joints, which is not the case for a more traditional tubed construction. It is a solid, one-piece structure, it is not made up of separate parts bonded together… Do you need any more reasons for choosing an Orbea monocoque frame?

Let’s talk. We want to get to know you. Tell us what you want. We have no end of options to really give you what you need. We’ll ask you what you want and we’ll help you choose. And that’s where YOUR Orbea will come from. Because you don’t need to be an expert, you just want a bike. But a bike that adapts to your body shape, your hobby, your tastes… that’s what My Orbea is about.

Orbea offers you the possibility of designing your own bike. You have a dream and we can make it come true. We’re here to help you choose. Orbea offers you

options for colour, assembly, size and ergonomics: transmission, handlebar width, crank length, stem length… in short, it adapts to you, it’s created by you and for you.

We give you a host of possibilities, logical options for different user profiles, options that are important when selecting a bike. That’s another of the added values of choosing an Orbea. Others sell you bikes. But we ride alongside you, because we want you to choose YOUR bike, and that’s what MY Orbea is all about.

Dama geometry consists of more than shorter top tubes and marketing hype. Our frames address differences in center of gravity as well as in measurements. Every single angle of every frame size is designed to contribute to one of the smoothest, fastest, most stable performance bikes in the world. The result is a real petite racing bike; still a first in women’s bike design.

Orbea provides a lifetime guarantee on all its frames. Only a brand that knows the materials, masters the technologies and has the skills can guarantee your frame to be totally reliable. Only Orbea takes you a step beyond.

Our monocoque construction will ensure you have no frame problems. And if you do, if your frame has a manufacturing defect, whenever that might happen, we will respond. Creating an Orbea frame involves a long time spent working on design, manufacture and quality testing before it reaches you. Our constant effort to ensure our bicycles are of the highest possible quality allows us to offer you a guarantee that no-one else can. Absolutely no-one else. There is not a single company on the market offering peace of mind like we do. The Orbea guarantee certifies your frame’s health for life.

The guarantee is activated using the registration number you will find on all Orbea frames. When you have activated it at your dealer’s or at www.orbea.com, your bike will automatically receive its lifetime guarantee. But that’s not all: there are many more advantages such as being able to report it if it’s stolen and taking part in competitions or accessing the latest news, and basically everything that’s going on at Orbea.

maximum Young’s Modulus and a high vibration absorption capacity. And that means a bike that’s as demanding as you are.

CARBON BRONZE Orbea Carbon Bronze fibers are intermediate module fibers that seek maximum performance by combining elasticity, durability and creating a frame accessible to anyone.

The higher density and the compression resistance of these fibers make for an optimum laminate, better vibration absorption and a higher resistance of the structure over time. That’s why Orbea’s first step in carbon is far superior to the market standard. Users can really make the most of this combination, as we cater for the needs of riders who are experiencing Orbea Carbon technology for the first time, guaranteeing them a higher degree of performance and efficiency.

CARBON GOLDCarbon Gold consists of ultra-high module fibers that improve traction resistance and compression, obtaining structures with extremely high stiffness. Combined with low specific-weight carbon fibers, they allow us to construct frames with an optimum weight-to-stiffness ratio. These materials, in combination with laminates that have undergone interative processes of finite element analysis (FEA), enable us to create a frame that guarantees the maximum stiffness and the minimum weight.

This type of fibre is used for top-level competition: we are placing the market’s top technology in your hands.

CARBON SILVER

Carbon Silver consists of high module fibers providing stiffness and vibration absorption for maximum pedalling efficiency, offering you unbeatable performance/comfort for long journeys. It uses a combination of fibers with Our hydroforming process consists of high pressure

fluid injection to shape the tubes of our bicycles. This technique allows us to obtain tube shapes and geometries enabling a totally different, customized frame design, while our mastery of this technology gives us control over the pressure of the fluid injected and the thicknesses and tube shapes obtained to make the structure reliable, durable and attractive.

Orbea carbon is a composite consisting of high module carbon fibers, and we use it to create structures with optimum stiffness, resistance, lightness and vibration absorption. In short, the perfect qualities for making the perfect frames.

We have used our knowledge, experience and know-how to design three fibre categories, and we have called them Gold, Silver and Bronze. Each one represents a different level of carbon and therefore has certain technical characteristics.

Until now, the technologies used for designing full-suspension bicycles were based on flat kinematics analysis. Advanced Dynamics is the result of a long process of joint research work with the CEIT (Guipuzcoa Studies and Technical Research Centre), using computer-based, virtual modelling and simulation programmes to study the performance of dual suspension bikes. Using this virtual analysis system, Orbea and CEIT were able to take into account all variables affecting a full suspension bicycle’s performance, giving rise to the four cornerstones of Orbea’s Advanced Dynamics technology: the bike’s dynamic suspension platform, perfect use of its suspension travel, its customized damper and its sealed bearings.

Others make their calculations on paper, but, using Advanced Dynamics, Orbea has created a virtual “you”. With our virtual simulation programs, Orbea models different users and simulates different types of terrain, so that we can take into account all the different parameters at work in your full-suspension bicycle: the force exerted on the pedals, saddle, handlebars etc. Basing our design on the results of these studies, our new suspension configuration achieves maximum absorption of all types of impact, minimising the suspension/pedalling interaction and increasing the contact time between your tyres and the ground.

SSN is a working procedure, a design technique and a command of technology that we now use for all our bicycles. Firstly the Orca, and then the Onix and the Alma, began to be designed using this system.

Each bike size is designed individually, optimizing the frame structure according to the stiffness ratio and the cyclist’s body mass. The result is five individually-designed frames, 100% exclusive and perfectly balanced. We have achieved this by creating a structure with variable, optimized tube diameters, in addition to a specific carbon fibre laminate for each of the sizes.

This is a quality standard that we guarantee on our products, and which is far above the average standard required.

Attraction is the smoothness all cyclists desire. Attraction removes road interactions with the body to obtain the best performance. Transfer of power to the wheels is optimized. Attraction enables more control of the machine on the road. It enhances traction regardless of terrain or weather. The fork and rear triangle of the new Orca have been designed with improved shaping to optimize your performance. Its purpose is to absorb vibrations and irregularities of the road, maximize performance of the bike and achieve optimal pedaling efficiency, all without compromising the lateral stiffness of the frame.

Traction force- compression that we have on the rear stays is converted into shear forces through the shaping. The result is a bike designed for competition that gives the rider an optimal response for rides requiring heavy-duty physical performance: - Vibrations transmitted to the rider are minimized, increasing the performance on the bike. - Optimization of traction, whatever the terrain, resulting in better acceleration, sprinting and bike control. - Better power transfer is achieved. - Maximized control.

We have created a unique cable-routing system that very efficiently routes the cable paths to the brakes and deraileurs. Created by Orbea in 2010 as a key design element of the second generation Alma, we have introduced this innovation to the Orca because of its efficient response at all levels, its smoothness of operation and the ultra clean lines it gives the design. Cables are protected from the elements, minimizing friction and multiplying durability.

Characteristics- Maximum smoothness- Minimum friction-Minimum maintenance- Seamless integration into the frame design

External cabling- Enhanced flow- Reduced friction- Reduced maintenance

Internal cabling- Increased friction- Increased maintenance- Increased weight- Damaging to the monococoque structure

Orbea has created a solution providing the maximum possible wheel coverage, taking into account a co-linear geometry with the bottom bracket. The key to this creation is that any cyclist, whatever their size, will be able to assume the right posture on their bicycle.

With the traditional geometries offered by other brands, the seat post is not co-linear with the bottom bracket, meaning that as the saddle height is raized, the length of arm reach is not correspondingly increased, making a truly aerodynamic position more difficult to achieve. With the Ordu this problem is solved and it puts you at the cutting edge of innovation once again.

U.F.O is a carbon suspension system we use to eliminate the pivot point and the additional problems it brings with it: nuts and bolts, axles, bearings, weight, maintenance, etc. · Cyclists need a rear suspension that will provide optimum performance with minimum weight: they are looking for the perfect balance. U-Flexion by Orbea, U.F.O, offers these characteristics: a suspension fulfilling all the requirements as regards lightness - 1.95 kilograms - simplicity, low maintenance and, most importantly, high reliability.

AIZonE by Orbea was created in 2007. The initials stand for “Aerodynamic Investigation Zone by Orbea”. Greater aerodynamics is not the same as greater speed. Increasing the aerodynamics of a bike reduces its stiffness, which means a lower power transmission capacity. Likewise, building a frame with maximum stiffness means its aerodynamics are reduced. The conclusion is that we have to obtain the perfect balance. And that’s where Ordu comes into it. Our principle on developing this bike was to optimise stiffness and minimise the bicycle’s drag as it moves through the air. There are two reasons for this: · Optimum stiffness: The power the cyclist generates is transferred directly into forward motion, to an optimum degree. · Perfect aerodynamic coefficient: The impact of the bicycle as it moves through the air is the most balanced on the market.

We use the knowledge we have aquired in the Wind Tunnel to offer you the best bikes on the market.We develop the knowledge gained in the Wind Tunnel and transfer it to our bicycles.

The most aerodynamic bike isn’t necessarily the fastest.

All the knowledge created via the AIZonE project is transferred to all the new Orbea bikes at the design stages.

This is the continuation of a long-term project, which will involve the successive evolution of the Orbea Ordu.We work alongside the Euskaltel-Euskadi team, studying their cyclists’ positions in order to improve their time trial results.

· We offer you dual suspension with no pivot point. This is added to the balance between stiffness and flexion that the carbon structure provides: lateral stiffness and total vertical impact absorption, with 85 millimeters of travel. · This innovative suspension system makes for downhill safety and perfect uphill traction, as both wheels always remain firmly on the ground, increasing comfort and reducing fatigue on even the toughest rides.

A 4x4 is an all-terrain vehicle. The Alma is an all-terrain giant. And we’re going to tell you why.

We started with the 4PT. This is a four-point rear triangle that allows a greater distance between the points where the seat stays and chain stays meet the front triangle, and a greater distance where the chain stays are joined to the seat stays, using a fourth angle. The greater the distance between these points, the greater the rigidity of the frame, and the frame’s comfort is improved despite the increased stiffness of the frame over former designs.

After this innovation we carried on working until we obtained the maximum expression of rigidity, comfort and the best cross-country racing geometry in the world: 4x4. The front suspension forks are of a different length. Their industry standard 80 mm length has been increased to 100 mm. And we’ve adapted our frame’s geometry accordingly. But instead of seeing this as a problem, we decided to make it a strength, an opportunity. The first premise to be maintained in the head tube area is that the top tube and the down tube have to remain apart. If the head tube is raized and the tubes are kept at the same angle, the two will be too close together and the bike will lose rigidity. If the top tube is straight, the area where it joins the seat tube is raized, and the comfort provided by the seat tube neck is lost.So we found a way round it. We ran the top tube as it was going to be on the finished bike, and 10 cm from the seat tube we created a curve, a new point, that turns the three angles of the front triangle into four.

We merged the two technologies into one with our monocoque construction and we obtained the 4x4. The advantages of this system are:1) Improved rigidity: the separation maintained on the head tube provides this feature that sets it apart from our competitors’ models. 2) Improved comfort: the new angles created on the front triangle allows the top tube to merge with the seat tube in a lower area, and this provides exceptional impact absorption, even on the roughest terrain. 3) Less lateral torsion: The reduced lateral torsion means better transmission of the riders power.4) It improves the bike’s response and acceleration, as the rear triangle chain stays have been shortened by 3 mm. 5) It adapts to the new 100 mm forks. 6) The head tube and steering angle have been redefined. 7) The rear bridge has been eliminated, obtaining a larger wheel arch for riding in extreme conditions.

An exclusive Orbea design that improves the structural rigidity of the frame even further, while providing rider protection as it serves as a mudguard.The downtube is now an element that adds benefit to your bicycle: this part of the frame has been widened to optimise your bike’s stiffness. At the same time, we’ve given some thought to where you’re going to ride it. The sun isn’t always shining, but then you also enjoy the challenge of riding through puddles and mud. The downtube means that this isn’t a problem any more. Your frame will protect you wherever you go.

��������� �����The BB30 system consists of an oversized bottom bracket, to adapt to the integrated chain wheel/crank unit.The redesigned structure incorporates a series of improvements, whichever crankset system is used:· 5% less weight of the unit as a whole.· Improved lateral rigidity. The greater volume of the structure means more efficient pedalling power transmission. The lower flexion in this area means there is no dispersion of the force applied.

We have redesigned the fork with new tubes, with dimensions of 1-1/8” on the upper part and 1-1/2” on the lower part. This oversizing has clear advantages:· Improved lateral rigidity on the front part of the front triangle.· Greater stability, which means better control.· Greater responsiveness and acceleration.

Introducing the evolution of our Size Specific Nerve technology. Initially, Orbea engineers created this technology to optimize the structure of the frame according to the different sizes offered. After four years in the market, the SSN technology applied to the 2011 Orca represents a qualitative leap in the design and creation of frames.

Attraction is the smoothness all cyclists desire. Attraction removes road interactions with the body to obtain the best performance. Transfer of power to the wheels is optimized. Attraction enables more control of the machine on the road. It enhances traction regardless of terrain or weather.

We have created a unique cable-routing system that very efficiently routes the cable paths to the brakes and deraileurs. A key design element of the second generation Alma, we have introduced this innovation to the Orca because of its efficient response at all levels, its smoothness of operation and the ultra clean lines it gives the design. Cables are protected from the elements, minimizing friction and multiplying durability.

Orbea Design is based on, what are for us, the four essential elements in the design of a bicycle: love of cycling, modern technology, new construction techniques and contemporary design trends. The logo we have chosen for Orbea Design explains this perfectly: each one of these concepts forms the centerpiece of our work.

Orbea Carbon is a composite comprised of high modulus carbon fibers which create structures with optimum stiffness, strength, lightness and vibration absorption. Ultimately, the best qualities to create the perfect frames.

Who is the new Orca designed for?Orca is synonymous with competition. From the day it leaves our carbon moulds it continues to prove that it is one of the elite bikes on the ProTour due to innovation, design, technology and our long heritage in competitive cycling. Not only professionals need the best bike, Orbea owners everywhere who slip on a jersey, helmet and shoes and set out to conquer new challenges will love Orca. For competitive rides and races a bike is needed that allows maximum performance and optimum transfer of power in each pedal stroke.

Why is the new Orca among the best in competitive cycling?Orbea’s professional athletes and our dedicated group of engineers and designers work closely together to determine what makes a bicycle the very best it can be. The application of our latest technology such as SSN, Attraction, DCR and AIZonE is the result of our experience from collaborating with the top athletes in the sport of professional cycling.

Who uses it? - Euskaltel-Euskadi - Andalucía Cajasur- Orbea Continental- Kelly Benefits (USA)

What is the global warranty for the new Orca? The new Orca is backed by the solvency, guarantee and quality demonstrated by the Orbea Engineering Department. Its lifetime warranty comes after thorough UNE standards testing in our Quality Department.

Who is the Aqua designed for?This is a reliable bike, ideal for new cycling enthusiasts. It’s the perfect companion if you’re taking up cycling for the first time or need a partner for riding hundreds of kilometres with no drop in performance or durability.Aqua is the ideal bike for leisure, for riding your favourite roads and for getting to destinations that other bikes can’t take you to. Because to get to the top and enjoy it, you need the right bike and you need it to be reliable. Who rides it?Richard Poulen, member of the Bordeaux Cycling Club (France)

Richard Poulen(35 years old) FranceMember of the Bordeaux Cycling Club

The Quebrantahuesos for the first time?The first time was six years ago, and I haven’t missed a race since. But I didn’t start out with the Quebrantahuesos, my first race was the Treparriscos. Phew! And that was a difficult one! I have great memories of it, I’ve never been so hot in all my life! But I just wanted to finish, and feel part of a race that’s so important in Spain, and share my love of the sport with all the other race fans.

Which bike did you start out with?I had a Zeus. A great bike, but I’d been thinking of changing it for a long time, and after that race I went for it. I wanted a bike that suited what I was doing better - I’d had the Zeus for 10 years and I needed a new one. I couldn’t afford an Onix, which was my favourite, so I went for an Aqua. The next year I tried it out in the Quebrantahuesos.

What does the Aqua do for you?Everything! It’s my escape route. I belong to the Bordeaux Cycling Club in France. We take part in the Quebrantahuesos every year, and in the Octogonal too. And we ride whenever we can. At weekends we get some serious cycling done, at least a hundred kilometres. The Aqua is very safe and reliable and I really like its shape.

What’s the next step for you?Winning the Quebrantahuesos… (laughter). No… I just want to go on enjoying racing with an Onix. I’m an aluminium fan, and the Aqua is very smooth, but I wouldn’t mind trying a carbon bike. Would Orbea give me a free Onix?

José Ramiro Sáez (42 years old) Spain, Sales Agent

Why did you choose the Aqua Flatbar?I like the road, I like cycling, but I’m not a professional. So I need a bike that’ll let me see the world around me and enjoy the area I live in.

What do the flat handlebars offer?I’m from Altea near Valencia, and the people here don’t know what a perfect day means until they get on a bike like this one and ride off down the coast road. And it’s so close – just half an hour’s ride and you start to feel the sea breeze and see the beach of El Albir and the little bays along the coast.

Are you a roadster?Of course! I love the road but for me it’s a means, not an end. As I said, a ride down the coast road in the morning or when the sun’s just going down simply defies description. And with the Aqua you’re in such a comfortable position, it’s like sitting on the sofa but in motion, haha…!

Why would you recommend this bike?I’m no bike expert, I chose this one for its features, because it has a guarantee that saves any trouble, it’s really comfortable and it’s appearance is quite spectacular. When I retire I’ll trade my car in and my Aqua will be my transport for getting round Altea.

Orbea Design

What is Terra?Orbea loves designing bikes for competition. It’s in our blood. We are leaders on the road with Orca and Euskaltel-Euskadi, in triathlon with Ordu and Craig Alexander, in MTB with Alma and Julien Absalon. Terra is our desire to step into the cyclocross world. We have put all our knowledge and technology together to create a light, rigid carbon frame and offer features that make it ideal for putting it to the test at competition level. Want to take it to the top?

How does it differ from others? ATT Ergonomy System technology. Cyclocross races are plagued with obstacles. With that in mind we have created the Terra with an asymmetric horizontal top tube for a greater contact area between the cyclist and the bike for those stretches where it has to be carried on the shoulder.

The DCR direct cabling system is another of the advantages that the Orbea Terra offers cyclocross users. The technology created by Orbea and successfully utilized in Alma and Orca has been transferred to Terra to obtain greater precision and gear change smoothness, decreasing friction and maintenance. Additionally this direct cabling is specific to Terra as we have moved all cables to the right side to optimize comfort and performance.

Who recommends it?Its reliability durability and performance are certified by our Engineering, Research and Design Department and guaranteed by the Quality Area with UNE standard tests.

Each bike size is designed individually, optimizing the frame structure according to the stiffness ratio and the cyclist’s body mass. The result is five individually-designed frames, 100% exclusive and perfectly balanced.

We have created a frame with a horizontal asymmetric tube to offer the maximum contact area to the cyclist. This innovation provides enhanced comfort during sections when the bicycle is carried on the shoulder which takes its toll on the performance of the riders. In addition, moving the cables to the right of the frame leaves the surface completely clear, ideal so as not to cause riders any problems.

We have created a unique cable-routing system that very efficiently routes the cable paths to the brakes and gear change and deflector.

The BB30 system means an over-dimensioned pedal bracket which lowers the weight of the same providing enhanced stiffness on the frame. Therefore we have the greatest possible surface to transfer all the pedal power more efficiently.

With the 4 Points Triangle we have managed to increase to the full the side stiffness of the rear triangle by inserting a new vertex, with which we can increase torsional strength, and transform more efficiently all the energy of each pedal stroke into acceleration. All concentrated in the rear triangle.

The new 1 1/8 and 1 ½ headset tubes lighten the fork and increase the front stiffness as well as the capacity of reaction.

Ordu is the bike Aeolus, the god of the winds, rides when he wants to outdo the competition. It’s a bike created using state-of-the-art technology, optimized in the San Diego wind tunnel and designed for elite athletes. It’s a star for competition and professional use, as there is no faster bike on earth when it comes to reaching the finishing line. Competition lovers know that winning a triathlon or time trial is a question of seconds, and those seconds are just what the Ordu gives you.

Each bike size is designed individually, optimizing the frame structure according to the stiffness ratio and the cyclist’s body mass. The result is five individually-designed frames, 100% exclusive and perfectly balanced.

Orbea masters knowledge on design and construction of carbon bikes to perfection. Our wide experience accumulated in this material has led us to create bikes that meet the needs of the most demanding two-wheel users in the world.

Orbea has created a solution providing the maximum possible wheel coverage, taking into account a co-linear geometry with the bottom bracket. The key to this creation is that any cyclist, whatever their size, will be able to assume the right posture on their bicycle.

The Ordu frame allows for an angulation range of 74º - 80º. To achieve this, two seatposts are used to cover the 74º-76º and 78º-80º angulations. This gives a clear advantage over other systems:

· it provides a wider range of riding positions, and the rider can adapt their position and obtain more efficient pedalling.· the 74º-76º angle enables a pedalling position similar to that of a traditional road bike. This is normally recommended for mixed or uphill riding.· the 78º-80º angle enables a more forward-leaning pedalling position, which is particularly advantageous on flat land as it means greater pedalling power.

Why Ordu?We continue moving forward to achieve the best results in the competition and increased user satisfaction. Orbea launches two levels of carbon in our fastest time trial bike: Gold and Silver. While the first level is designed for top competition, the second is for those who want to make the first step into the world of triple discipline, both are created using the latest technology optimized in the wind tunnel in San Diego.

Why is it the fastest?Less aerodynamic drag does not always yield a faster bike. If this were true we would be making paper thin frames. Unfortunately these frames would not stand up to the great power of our riders. With this fact in mind we have created the Ordu to blend aerodynamics with efficiency.

Optimum stiffness: The power generated by the cyclist is optimally transferred to drive the bike forward.

Perfect drag coefficient: The impact of the bike cutting through the air is the most balanced on the market.

Who uses it? Euskaltel Euskadi: Team UCI PRO TOUR. Craig Alexander, 2008 and 2009 Hawaii Ironman Champion triathlete. Hunter Kemper, Olympic triathlete in 2000, 2004 and 2008. Jarrod Shoemaker, Olympic triathlete in 2004 and 2008. Laura Bennett, Silver medal triathlete in the 2003 World Championships and bronze in 2004, 2005 and 2007. Marina Damlaimcourt, Spanish Triathlon Champion in 2008.

Recommended by?The world’s fastest bicycle is vouched for by the knowledge of the Engineering Department at Orbea which has developed the Orbea Ordu at the Mecca for speed: The San Diego Wind Tunnel. It has also been tested in accordance with UNE standard at our Quality Department.

The results speak for themselves: time trials won by Samuel Sánchez and the Euskaltel-Euskadi team, as well as international trophies won by our triathletes are its best testimonial.

Why Orbea?Orbea offers the possibility of designing your own bike. Your wish is our command. The Orbea MyO program can put two levels of carbon into your hands in addition to new colors and numerous assembly options. In short, it’s an Orbea Ordu created for you and by you.

Every single angle of every frame size is designed to contribute to one of the smoothest, fastest, most stable performance bikes in the world. The result is a real petite racing bike; still a first in women’s bike design.

Orbea Design is based on, what are for us, the four essential elements in the design of a bicycle: love of cycling, modern technology, new construction techniques and contemporary design trends. The logo we have chosen for Orbea Design explains this perfectly: each one of these concepts forms the centerpiece of our work.

Introducing the evolution of our Size Specific Nerve technology. Initially, Orbea engineers created this technology to optimize the structure of the frame according to the different sizes offered. After four years in the market, the SSN technology applied to the 2011 Orca represents a qualitative leap in the design and creation of frames.

We have created a unique cable-routing system that very efficiently routes the cable paths to the brakes and deraileurs. A key design element of the second generation Alma, we have introduced this innovation to the Orca because of its efficient response at all levels, its smoothness of operation and the ultra clean lines it gives the design. Cables are protected from the elements, minimizing friction and multiplying durability.

Orbea Carbon is a composite comprising of high modulus carbon fibers which create structures with optimum stiffness, strength, lightness and vibration absorption. Ultimately, the best qualities to create the perfect frames.

Julien Absalon, 28 (France). Twice Olympic champion, four-time World Cup Champion and four-time World Champion. Record number of XC circuit wins, eight-time French champion…

Alma 2010“The most important thing for me is to have a bike that’s as competitive as possible, and the Alma’s a competition bike. It’s perfect for racing as it’s lightweight and rigid, and that means no loss of pedalling power. It’s also extremely manoeuvrable, which guarantees really quick downhills, for example.”

Orbea Know How “I really trust this new Alma as I know the people who worked on the project, I know how skilled and professional they are and I know they’ve given their all to create the most competitive cross-country bike in the world”.

4x4 Triangle “4x4 technology is the Alma’s heart and soul. It’s the innovation that makes it better than the rest. For me, that means increased rigidity, which hugely improves the performance the bike gives you. This evolution makes the frame more comfortable and it also means problem-free pedalling on rough ground, and so it bumps

up my speed whatever ground I’m riding on”.

Direct Cable Routing “The DCR makes the bike look even better, but it’s also very useful as it reduces cable friction and that means more gear precision, as the gears are protected from dust and mud. So I can ride this new Alma in really extreme conditions without worrying about the gear changes.”.

Orbea Design “The design means the Alma is like no other bike. It’s unique, and you can tell that as soon as you set eyes on it”.

The BB30 system means an over-dimensioned pedal bracket which lowers the weight of the same providing enhanced stiffness on the frame. Therefore we have the greatest possible surface to transfer all the pedal power more efficiently.

We started with the 4PT. This is a four-point rear triangle that allows a greater distance between the points where the seat stays and chain stays meet the front triangle, and a greater distance where the chain stays are joined to the seat stays, using a fourth angle. The greater the distance between these points, the greater the rigidity of the frame, and the frame’s comfort is improved despite the increased stiffness of the frame over former designs.

Magazines around the world are touting the benefits of 29” wheels. Claims have been tested, performance has been measured and there is little argument that big wheels offer big advantages. Lower rolling resistance, better traction, higher speeds with more stability through rough terrain are all traits you will notice riding a 29” wheeled bicycle.

So why does Orbea offer the Alma AND the Alma 29? It’s about providing choices and options. No matter how many cyclists prefer one wheel size or the other, we think it’s really about individual riding styles and offering a bike that’s right for YOU. The Alma 29 doesn’t supplant Alma 26 as King of the Hill instead it’s an addition to the family that allows more riders than ever before to discover their own personal version of Alma.

It’s amazing how far the 29” wheel has come since we launched the world’s first production monocoque carbon 29er at Sea Otter

The BB30 system uses an over-sized bottom bracket which lowers the weight and enhances the stiffness on the frame. Therefore we have the greatest possible surface to transfer pedal power more efficiently.

We started with the 4PT. This is a four-point rear triangle that allows a greater distance between the points where the seat stays and chain stays meet the front triangle, and a greater distance where the chain stays are joined to the seat stays, using a fourth angle. The greater the distance between these points, the greater the rigidity of the frame, and the frame’s comfort is improved despite the increased stiffness of the frame over former designs.

TAPERED HEAD TUBE BB30 TECHNOLOGY

We have redesigned the fork with new tubes, with dimensions of 1-1/8” on the upper part and 1-1/2” on the lower part. This oversizing has clear advantages:· Improved lateral rigidity on the front part of the front triangle.· Greater stability, which means better control.· Greater responsiveness and acceleration.

in 2006. The Alma 29 that was once a big risk has evolved into a staple of our mountain bike lineup. Big wheels are so much more than a niche-filler for us at Orbea; they’ve become one of our favorite ways to ride. Our experience with the first Alma 29 has shown us that there are a lot of folks out there who think the way we do – riders who love the ride of carbon, who enjoy the telepathic ride quality delivered by a high performance frame, who appreciate the beauty of a bike as well as the functionality. If the last few years are any indication, we’re sure they are going to be as excited as we are about the 2011 Alma 29.

ADVANCED DYNAMICS

Until now, the technologies used for designing full-suspension bicycles were based on flat kinematics analysis. Advanced Dynamics is the result of a long process of joint research work with the CEIT (Guipuzcoa Studies and Technical Research Centre), using computer-based, virtual modelling and simulation programmes to study the performance of dual suspension bikes. Using this virtual analysis system, Orbea and CEIT were able to take into account all variables affecting a full suspension bicycle’s performance, giving rise to the four cornerstones of Orbea’s Advanced Dynamics technology: the bike’s dynamic suspension platform, perfect use of its suspension travel, its customized damper and its sealed bearings.

Through the creation of Advanced Dynamics, Orbea has mastered suspension system performance involving the interaction of different suspension systems and dampers. This has enabled us to create the best adapted ratio curve on the market: the Lambda Curve, - High sensitivity to minor impacts: Due to a low leverage ratio curve and the compliancy of the shock’s damper, the suspension is plush and active the beginning of the stroke, whether climbing or descending. - Linearity on medium impacts: The regressive ratio curve and the damper performance together provide linear performance for medium impacts. - Compliancy on heavy impacts: The final ascending section of the ratio curve compensates for the excessive progressivity of the air shock dampers to achieve complete use of the shock stroke.

Stability at high speed: 68º headtube angle for forks with 150 mm travel and 67º for forks with 160 mm travel. · Correct pedalling position. 73º seat angle for a centred position on the bike, ensuring perfect pedalling power transmission. · Flexibility and manoeuvrability on rugged terrain. A chainstay length of 42.5 cm ensures proper manipulation of the Lambda curve, improved handling in tight terrain, and compatibility with larger volume tires.

WHY MAKE HELMETS?

Orbea wants to extend its experience to other bike-related products, so that cyclists and bikers can benefit from our sensitivity and know-how. This is not just another helmet. It’s a helmet by Orbea, a prestige brand on the professional scene.

We’ve put all our engineering expertise and in-depth knowledge of the cycling world into this new product, and it represents another step forward in the strategy we began many years ago creating solutions for cycling fans, multi-sport athletes and mountain bikers. In short, it is for anyone who shares Orbea’s sound, healthy way of looking at life. These are people our future products will be made for. We’re a step closer to the future now.

The retention system that holds the structure of the helmet to the cyclist’s head needs to ensure comfort and good moisture absorption, and avoid any pressure points.

To achieve this we have developed a retention system with the following main characteristics:· Retention system independent from helmet straps.· Dual injection retention system.· COOLMAX fabric pad system.· Ergonomic adjustment system.· Rubber support surface for a smoother feel.· Winter Kit: a kit consisting of pads and an inner liner for winter use (sold separately)

Orbea has created a revolutionary design that directs the air flow organically around the arc of the helmet.In the case of a linear design, the air flow encounters resistance when it hits the helmet’s surface, and it therefore heads in an upwards direction towards the top part of the helmet. However, our design directs the air flow towards the sides of the helmet. This special design means better ventilation and a more compact structure.

Orbea Design is based on what we consider the four essential elements of bicycle design: the riders, the stateof- the-art technology, the creation process and the trends.

We have developed a layer-by-layer construction technology for our helmets that enables us to optimize the helmet’s features: appearance, ventilation and compactness. Each helmet is built using a certain number of layers, and a specific material is chosen for each layer according to its features. The surface area is reduced by the addition of each layer, providing it with better ventilation and a more compact structure..

This design optimization can only be achieved through a combination of shapes, construction technology and materials.

Odin - 4 layers: polycarbonate, carbon fibre, EPS and nylon.Thor - 3 layers: polycarbonate, EPS and nylon. Rune - 2 layers: polycarbonate and EPS.

ORBEA INNOVATION

The logo we have chosen for Orbea Design explains it perfectly: each of these concepts is a key feature of the way we work. The design of our bicycles totally complies with our design concepts.

We have taken inspiration from nature, developing our helmet designs according to a natural concept and organic design. Birds are the species that have best evolved within their environment: the air. They represent

the natural evolution of aerodynamics, and for us, their evolution and their adaptation are reflected in our organic wind tunnel.

It’s not just a question of appearance: as with the evolution of species, we aspire to a design that will really give the maximum performance.

To achieve this, we have taken two aspects into account: · ES Index (External Surface Index). The External Surface Index: less surface area means better ventilation and a more attractive appearance. · ITP Index (Internal Touch Point Index). The Internal Touch Point Index: This represents the surface with the points of contact between the helmet and the cyclist’s head. Less surface area means better ventilation.

Creating cycling clothing is another milestone in Orbea’s history.

We have ridden alongside cycling fans for a long time; we know the market, we know the technology and we know cyclists. And it was clear that sooner or later we would make clothing for them. We are a global brand offering full solutions to users, and producing cycling clothing is a new achievement for Orbea.

The Orbea OP-SSN.1 is a pad that revolutionizes the idea of cycling ergonomics and comfort.

Designed using Orbea SSN technology: a design method and technology mastery we apply to all our solutions. The OP-SSN.1 offers two different pad designs to suit cyclists’ needs depending on their size and weight.

Each pad is individually designed, optimizing its ergonomics, thickness and density in accordance with the cyclist’s size and body mass. The result is two individually-designed pads, 100% exclusive and perfectly balanced.
