WHAT MAKES ORDU OME A UNIQUE BIKE 1. AERODYNAMICS
Model evolution With the success of the Ordu OMR platform, we focused our efforts to bring Orbea Monocoque Carbon to more triathletes. Ordu OME shares many features with Ordu OMR, perhaps most important is Orbea’s attention to ride quality and rider experience. Our consistent and proportional stack and reach measurements guarantee that every athlete experiences the legendary Orbea Ordu fit in an aerodynamic, comfortable and fast bike regardless of frame size.
The leading edge of the Ordu OME frameset received the highest priority for aerodynamic shaping. The straight 1–1/8” steerer tube allows a narrow headtube that minimizes frontal area. At only 38mm wide, it decreases aerodynamic drag by integrating smoothly into the main triangle, making this critical area more slippery and smoothing airflow across the frame. Triathletes are not the only riders who can benefit from these advantages - the frame and fork are UCI legal, making the Ordu OME a serious contender for use in sanctioned Time Trial events. Any standard road bike front or rear brake can be employed, making it user-friendly and ready to accept the best the market has to offer.
2. STIFFNESS While aerodynamics push frame design toward narrower tubes that present the smallest-possible face to the breeze, a frame must be rigid to transfer energy to the rear wheel. Advantages gained against the wind should not be surrendered to flex, brake rub or questionable handling. The Ordu OME is more aerodynamic than its predecessor and is significantly stiffer as well. This translates to a faster bike that handles better and delivers more power to the road.

3. TRIATHLON GEOMETRY Beyond any other factor in high-performance cycling, synergy between rider and bike is our foremost consideration. We designed the Ordu OME using a fit-first philosophy. Beginning with Dan Empfield’s Stack and Reach concept and drawing from our experience fitting thousands of athletes on triathlon and time trial bikes, we adjusted our fit coordinates to reflect the needs of today’s athlete.
