Orbea Orca Aero debuts with record tyre clearance and ultra-low BB ahead of Tour de France

Orbea has unveiled the updated Orca Aero just before the Tour de France, featuring a 78mm bottom bracket drop, 37mm tyre clearance (40mm in practice), and about 5.1W of drag reduction at 50km/h versus the previous model, thanks to a redesigned head tube/fork, keel under the BB, and other aero tweaks. The frame is around 900g, with a downtube aero storage box (potentially unused due to UCI rules), and it offers extensive customization from Shimano 105 to Dura-Ace/SRAM Red in six stock colours via MyO. It supports up to 40mm tyres (not for UCI events in that width) and provides up to 14W of additional savings on flat ground when combined with other changes, bringing potential total gains near 19–20W at 50km/h. Pricing ranges from €5,699 (105) to €10,999 (Top groupsets), with 13 cockpit options and crank-length adjustability to mitigate pedal-strike risk.

Orbea Orca Aero debuts with 21W aero gain and 37mm tyre clearance

Orbea has updated the Orca Aero, claiming a 21-watt aero advantage over the 2022 model thanks to bike–rider integration and a 78mm bottom-bracket drop for a lower, more stable position. The new frame also offers the widest pro-peloton tyre clearance at 37mm and extensive cockpit/seatpost adjustability, with multiple spec levels and prices from £4,999 to £9,999 for the Lotto-Intermarché pro team. The development combined wind-tunnel testing with velodrome and road testing to optimize aero performance.

Bianchi revamps Specialissima into aero all-rounder, hinting at the end for Oltre

Bianchi has overhauled the Specialissima into an aero all‑rounder, opting not to update the Oltre. The redesigned frame maintains similar geometry but features a larger front end and a new cockpit, with claimed aero gains (about 16 watts with the RC wheelset) and a lighter frame. Available in three variants (Specialissima, Specialissima Pro, Specialissima RC) from roughly €5,200 to €11,500, the move reflects a shift toward a single race bike platform in pro racing, casting doubt on the Oltre’s future.

A potential new Colnago aero bike model, the Y1RS, has seemingly been leaked in a forum post, sparking discussions among cycling enthusiasts.
