Orbea Orca
Racers who want a climbing Orbea. Orca Aero is the wind-cheating sibling.
Orbea's lightweight race bike, OMX carbon on high kits, and a fit that is race-low without S5 drama. OMX vs OMR changes weight more than geometry.

Racers who like Cannondale's handling. Synapse is the taller sibling; SuperX is the CX/gravel race cousin.
