Product Description
Whether you're a committed racer or a Gran Fondo enthusiast, you can appreciate perfection. And when it comes to proprietary technological advancements that make life in the saddle easier, we can't remember the last time that we saw a bike like the Orbea Orca Dama BLT. From head to toe, the Orca Dama is loaded with features that reduce drag, weight, and friction. The icing on the cake is Orbea's obsession of making the Orca Dama the ultimate in anatomic frame design. If you're a woman, and you ride bikes, it simply doesn't get much better than this. The Orbea Orca Dama BLT features a full Orbea Monocoque Bronze carbon fiber (OMB) construction. The Bronze carbon is a higher-density carbon than Orbea's Gold series(less than 2g/cm cubed), but it offers an excellent laminate and aggressive vibration absorption. And while OMB is Orbea's entry carbon, it far exceeds the weight to stiffness ratios of many upper-echelon carbon fibers. Orbea has also integrated its SSN technology into the Dama BLT. This system both maximizes frame rigidity and equalizes it across any body morphology. In layman's terms, Orbea has introduced a variant tube thickness for every frame size. This means that regardless of stature, you're guaranteed a consistent, balanced ride. Orbea has also made massive strides in providing the ultimate in anatomic fit. After studying the physiology of the sexes, Orbea pinpointed the dimensional differences and how to compensate for them in frame geometry. The Dama is tailored for women from the ground up. The tube dimensions have been reduced, the head tube lengthened, and the top tube placed in the perfect proportional position. Even further, Orbea extends the Dama philosophy to component selection. The idea isn't to make a women's bike, it's to produce a ride quality that's consistently superior, regardless of sex. So far, we've focused on the Orca Dama's ride quality in respect to materials, but Orbea's attention to aerodynamics is just as impressive.
