Orbea OpalThe complete redesign of the Opal for 2010 has delivered a bike that is ideally suited both to road racing and to fast sportive riding. Designed to be all out racing machine that has the capability to compete in weeks long stage races, the Opal also offers sufficient long distance comfort to satisfy those riders who want top level performance for race days, but who also enjoy long days in the saddle on training camps or when taking part in cyclosportives or leisure rides. The Opal frame is a monocoque structure that is built from unidirectional "Silver" carbon fibres, which are high modulus fibres that provide high levels of stiffness with vibration absorption for maximum pedalling efficiency combined with long distance compfort. The uniderectional fibres are are laid so that they are aligned in the direction that optimises their strength and flexibility for each specific application, whether in the main triangle, bottom bracket, seat stays etc. This ensures maximum performance at minimum weight. Like the Orca and Onix, the Opal uses what Orbea call "Size Specific Nerve" technology (or SSN) - in plain language this means that the tube diameters and carbon laminate layers vary with frame size to ensure that the riding experience remains the same throughout the size range. At Epic Cycles we pride ourselves on providing bikes to suit your own individual needs. So if you see a bike that you like, but would prefer an alternative build please talk to us about changing components to meet your requirements.
