Team Euskaltel-Euskadi adopts the new Orbea Orca Gold frame. The frame is a monocoque high modulus carbon with a very angular profile of the tubes. The tube is a large cross section and includes a number of edges of the outer housing and tightening the cables. These are coated with a Teflon sheath that runs in direct contact with the frame. The bottom bracket has standard BB30, the profile also the angular tube, while the seat tube follows the contour of the rear wheel, the headset has tapered bearing, 1 inch and 1/2 and 1 inch and 1/8. The bikes are then combined with the Shimano Dura Ace, adopted in full, with controls, brakes, crank, sprocket, chain, front and rear derailleur. Also Shimano Dura Ace pedals and wheels which are supplemented with Vittoria tubulars. The Euskadi team is testing the new prototype tubular Vittoria. The seatpost should be the new Selle Italia Monolink with saddle Monolink Frection Free, but the supply of components has not yet come, and then the team uses the normal carbon seat post and Selle Italia Team Edition. Stem and handlebar FSA are, while the bottle cage Elite is. A bike that most excellent, the UCI weight limit regulation and top performances.
