2025 Orbea Orca Aero - SLIPPERY! My first ride review

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

I took the new Orbea Orca Aero out for a spin across various terrains in the hills of Southern California to see how this aero machine really handles. This was my first time riding the Orca Aero, and I was eager to test its speed, responsiveness, and overall ride quality. Can this bike handle these climbs? How does it feel sprinting? Spoiler alertโ€”this bike is extremely quick and slippery!

I found this Orbea to be combination of comfort and speed. Focusing more on climbing, I was really surprise just how well it felt up climbs, but maybe shaving a little weight off could improve it even more. This bike was outfitted with Ultegra 12spd w/ power, aero bars, and their propreitary Qquo 45MM wheels. This bike was about 17lbs.
