ORCA FRAME
| On the surface, many carbon tubes appear similar, but underneath that beautiful aesthetic top layer, all carbon bikes are not the same. Many companies refer to their carbon as "formula 1 grade", "satellite grade", or "aerospace grade." These are simply marketing words, but what exactly are they made of? It is hard to know for sure. This is not the case with the new Orbea Orca, which is produced from a special blend of Toray M30s and M40j high modulus carbon fibres. You may have never heard of Toray, but when Boeing purchased carbon fibre materials for their newest B7E7 Dreamliner aircraft, they selected Toray as their sole supplier. Orbea has done the same. The Orbea Monocoque process is backed with a lifetime warranty. Orbea has extensive knowledge in the manufacturing of bicycles, over 75 years to be exact. Our engineers have exhaustively researched carbon fibre manufacturing possibilities and determined that monocoque design is the best process available for producing carbon fibre bicycles. Monocoque is the only process that can qualify to be covered by Orbea's lifetime warranty, the best in the industry. |
