Colnago V4Rs
Racers who want the current Colnago race brief. C68 if you want the lugged flagship.
UAE Team Emirates' race bike. Stiff, aero-enough, and a millimetre size run (420–590) that needs a geometry chart, not a letter size.

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 want BMC's classic race fit. Roadmachine if you need stack.
BMC's lightweight race bike: steep, precise, and a WorldTour stack/reach reference. Less aero than Teammachine R / Timemachine.

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 ...
