Product Description

The Ordu Gold Electronic is the premier time trial/triathlon bike from Orbea. ItAAAs the exact same as the Ordu Gold, though itAAAs made specifically for use with electronic shifting components like ShimanoAAAs Dura-Ace and Ultegra Di2 or the forthcoming Campagnolo electronic group. It comes pre-wired for Dura-Ace Di2. The wiring for the shifters runs internally, and it has a dedicated battery mount on the left chainstay for clean aerodynamics. One of the best aspects of electronic shifting is that you can have shift buttons on the aero bar extensions and on the base bar. So no matter the situation, the right gear is just at your fingertips.Like the Orca Gold, the Ordu Gold is made with OrbeaAAAs Gold grade of ultra-high modulus carbon fiber. It was OrbeaAAAs goal to provide an optimum blend of performance characteristics. Of course, aerodynamic efficiency was paramount, but so was stiffness because a slippery shape is nothing without efficient power transfer from the rider to the asphalt. This is why Orbea engineers used both wind tunnel results and FEA (finite element analysis) to fine-tune the shapes of the frame tubes. The combination of thoughtful design with the finest materials results in a bike that excels under the most powerful riders, and this is why it has won the Hawaii Ironman twice since its recent debut.Aerodynamic details abound on the Ordu frameset, from the peaked head tube to the aero-section seat stays and the fully internal cable routing. The arcing seat tube may be one of the most distinctive aspects. While it may look similar to other bikes, for no other reason than the seat tube arcs closely along the diameter of the rear wheel, the Ordu uses OrbeaAAAs Co-linear seat tube geometry. Look closely and youAAAll see that the seat post still fits into the frame at an angle less than 90˚. The importance is that when you make seat height adjustments, the Ordu maintains the fore-aft relationship with regards to reach and proportional sizing.
