Orbea pays tribute to Paris with its Olympic bikes

Orbea has competition in its DNA and the Olympic Games are an unmissable event for the brand. For the occasion, it has prepared an exclusive design that will be replicated in the different models with which its official cyclists will compete, inspired by "The City of Light", Paris.

Orbea creates a unique design for the models that will compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics

Paris is known as "The City of Light" for becoming, in the early 19th century, the first European city to use gas lamps for public lighting. Orbea has reinterpreted the concept to capture it in a very special design on the Orca, Oiz, Orca Aero, and Ordu models that will participate in the Olympic Games.

With this design, the cyclist becomes the fuel, the light, and all this generated energy permeates throughout the bicycle from the saddle to the front, filling the entire frame with energy and speed.

In its color combination, the gold (Metallic Gold) represents the energy generated by the cyclist, the pink (Cotton Pink) diffuses throughout the frame, and the purple (Tanzanite Carbon View) finishes each bike towards the front. A design 100% developed and painted at Orbea's facilities in the Basque Country.

These models are exclusive for Orbea athletes competing in the Olympic Games, so they will only be seen in action in the road race, time trial, and Olympic distance mountain race (XCO).
