Analysis
The same OMR carbon platform used across Orbea's top-tier models, with size-specific carbon layups for consistent ride feel across sizes. The MyO customization program lets buyers choose colors and some specifications. At $300 less than most competing carbon race bikes, it's quietly one of the segment's strongest offerings.
