Racers and fit club riders who want a low stack without full aero integration. If the Aeroad cockpit feels like too much, this is the sibling.
Canyon's lightweight race bike: snappy, precise, and less of a wind-cheater than the Aeroad. It rewards a committed position and calm hands in corners rather than a slammed aero tuck.
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.

BMC is expanding the Teammachine SLR family with a lighter frame, improved aerodynamics, and a range of carbon options for different budgets.
The fifth-generation Teammachine SLR launched last summer as a lightweight superbike with a superbike price tag. Now, BMC is correcting our biggest complaints and bringing the '…

Exceptional uphill, fast handling, and a quality build kit make this a very compelling package.
Orbea has dropped many of the aero optimisations of the previous Orca, while it has unified the geometry across the OMX and OMR-tier frames.
Orbea says, “the Orca is around 3W faster than an aero bike, for an average rider, on a 5% slope, and around 6W faster on a 10% slope.” The Orca OMX has claimed ...
