Orbea Orca OMX

[Rone69]

Hi everyone.
I'm looking for information on the new Orca OMX, does anyone have any feedback on the riding experience, handling and comfort of this bike?
If possible, I would like your comments on the difference you found with other bikes you use or have used.
Thanks in advance.

I have an Orca but it is from 2015. Obviously the geometry may be different on the new Orca but if it follows the pattern of the older Orcas it will be a very racy geometry.

I use it all summer long but after a long ride you certainly know you have been on it!

If I step off it for a couple of weeks and jump back on to my even older Allez Sport the difference is chalk and cheese comfort wise.

My 2015 is a 55 so have done a comparison with the new one.

The 2023 looks as if it would suit me better as the top tube is shorter but the seat tube longer which would suit me better. Even with a shorter stem on mine I am very stretched but have over 200 mm of seat post showing.

(I had to swop the original seat post for a 450) straight and without a sweep back.

I think the geometry on the later one looks more forgiving.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm referring to the 2023 Orca vs the 2020 Specialissima, I'm interested in the handling and comfort of these frames, not the weight or components.

You would need to find someone who has had a fair bit of riding on both, I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for someone to come along.

That will maybe just come down to you
