Origin
Orbea's Ordu has been the brand's triathlon flagship for over a decade, steadily evolving through generations of aero refinement. The current OMP generation was co-developed with professional triathlete Andrew Starykowicz and was raced by the Cofidis team in Tour de France time trials, lending it both tri-specific and UCI road credibility. Orbea claims 2,500 hours of R&D and a 41-second improvement over an Ironman bike leg of 112 miles vs the previous generation — a number that matters deeply to amateur triathletes chasing podiums.
