Detailed photos of the silver level Orbea Orca SDi2 Dura-Ace that shows the cable integration Orbea has created with their monocoque construction. Orbea GSB Carbon is their system to categorize their frame levels, which breaks down to Gold, Silver, and Bronze level frames.
Gold level frames offer the best ride quality with the best stiffness to weight ratio. This is achieved through the use of ultra-high modulus fibres that improve traction resistance and compression of the frame. Incorporation of Orbea’s Attraction system that has been designed to optimize your performance through the unique shape of the fork and rear triangle. The purpose of Attraction is to absorb vibrations and irregularities of the road without compromising lateral stiffness, which maximizes performance on the bike and allows the rider to achieve optimal pedaling efficiency.
Silver level frames use the same technology as the Gold level frames, but are slightly heavier. The Silver level frames incorporate a high modulus fibers instead of ultra-high. This makes the frames more durable, because high modulus fibers can absorb impact better than the more rigid ultra-high modulus fibers used in the Gold level frame construction.
Bronze level frames will be the most comfortable riding frames and affordable, but in turn will be heavier and will not fully utilize the Attraction system like the Gold and Silver level frames.
