Athletes of the Team Euskaltel-Euskadi use Orbea Ordu in time trials. The Ordu is a bike with a monocoque high modulus carbon, made in Spain and painted by hand. The fork is dedicated to this model and has the legs straight and aerodynamic profile. The front brake is mounted in the classic front position. The head tube is very short and has an aerodynamic profile, but edgy. The down tube is a good section, but without exaggeration, with a more angular profile, but with some attention to aerodynamics. Very sharp even the top tube and compact rear triangle. The seat post has an aerodynamic profile, while the rear brake is positioned above the rear wheel. The bike is then assembled with the Dura Ace group, with controls, crank, sprocket, chain, brakes, front and rear derailleur. Always Dura Ace pedals and Pro wheels, rear lens and three-spoke front. The brake levers are Vision, as well as the aero bars, the saddle is Selle Italia, while the bottle cage is Elite Time Trial, specifically for time trial bikes. The tubes are Vittoria. A rigid bike and good performance, but it suffers today, an aerodynamics research perfectible, as in the positioning of the brake pipe or profile frame.
