Most aero bikes are fast in a wind tunnel. This one was designed for the wind you actually get.
Rather than chase a headline number at a single wind angle, Orbea developed the 2027 Orca Aero around 5–20° yaw — the crosswind angles that dominate real riding. Which is a fairly precise description of Changi Coast Road with a sea breeze coming off the strait.
The fork is profiled to align with the downtube so airflow transitions smoothly as the yaw changes. The downtube is slightly wider to manage air across the frame's biggest surface. The bottom bracket keel does real aerodynamic work. The Di2 battery moved low so the seat tube and post could get slimmer.
CFD-developed, wind-tunnel validated, then measured again with riders holding fixed speeds in a velodrome. 21W says it worked.
