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 and fit riders who want Giant's race geometry without Propel's deep tubes.
Giant's lightweight race bike: compact sloping top tube, sharp steering, and a fit that has been a stack/reach reference for a long time. Less aero drama than Propel.
Racers and fast club riders who want the modern Tarmac. If you came off an SL7, check that the stack/reach still matches your size.
The current Specialized race bike: lighter than SL7, still aero, and famously 'it just disappears' if the fit is right. Size by stack/reach — the 54/56 split is where a lot of riders hop.
