Orbea Orca 2024 - An Ordinary Rider’s Review.

#bikereview #orbea #cycling #cyclingvlog

Orbea loaned me their flagship 2024 Orbea Orca M10i to ride, not review, but you need to hear about this amazing machine. It is a stunner.

Thanks to Dom at Orbea, for arranging the loan of this spaceship/bicycle:

And to Fat Lad at the Back for the Continental short-sleeved jersey, 10% discount with the code yakoridesagain at

This stuff fits big people. Ask away if you have any questions about kit.

Love how excited you feel about the bike! And thanks for the video!

Your excitement and enthusiasm put a smile on my face. I have an Orca M30 (that is the cheapest of the bunch) from 2024 and this is a conspicuously heavy bike, no comparison to the top tier bike you have ridden. It weighs about 9, 5 kg. By changing the wheels, seat post and saddle I saved about one kg. It's a very nice bike indeed but it doesn't have the wow-factor the M10 has. And for 10 grand I would certainly go for an Italian beauty (Wilier, Pinarello, Basso, Colnago).

I ride both a 2022 Gain M20I and a 2014 Orca Aero. I ride both because I fell back in love with riding the Orca when the Gain was in the shop for maintenance. Everything you said and felt about the 2024 Orca is true about the 2014 Orca. I love it!

I'm watching this, whilst drugged up with painkillers, after being knocked off my bike by a car last week. Left with a damaged shoulder & a concussion. My Ribble bike is also worse for wear. I'm now dreaming of getting the newly announced Ribble all road electric bike with the Mahle X20 motor. The entry level one with 12 speed 105 is a bargain at £3999. It's also got a 350W battery & claimed range of 140km.

Great enthusiasm for the bike. Another interesting vid, thanks.

Completely agree with your comments Gareth. It must be a joy riding such a beautiful bike. I still ❤ riding, my Giant Team Once 1999, particularly in the last few days in glorious weather….along coastal flat roads. The Orbea Gain is for my steep country rides

Thanks for the great vidio! Really helped me with my choice to get one for my Dream Retirerment bike
Just waiting for it to Arrive and cant wait to get out and about on it.
I also love the fact that you can truely make it your bike with the colour choices and other areas of customization
thanks again

Every time I'm thinking about the lightness of the bike I remember about two water bottles I need to carry, spare tube(or two), small pump, lever and multitool. But weight is stunning. I saw pics of M20iLTD with Ultegra, it was 6.26kg, don't ask me how.

Hi Yako, I’ve just ordered an M30 (OMR frame, 105GS) - I’ve always wanted an Orca ever since I joined the cycling fraternity. I found a 53cm 2024 model with change from £1600… I can’t wait for it to arrive!

[theoldguyofwhinlatter]

Hi Yako great vid, I'm only 65 kilos what a dream it would be for me to ride the orca. The only problem is I might get blown away in a strong wind!😂 liked how you enjoyed lifting the bike and the grin on your face 😀

[terryb]

Nice unbiased video as always, I agree a beautiful looking bike which does it all, what more can anyone ask for in an e bike, I hope you manage to get a few more rides in while you have it or are they letting you keep it, enjoy the rest of your week

[jameslowry]

Well yako it was good of orbea to loan you this bike just goes to show how they appreciate your channel try and beg or borrow other bikes to test out, but you are just tormenting yourself, only joking it’s all good fun, cheers jim

[richardhall]

When I win the lottery I will buy us one each. Great bike great video

[yakoridesagain]

I MIGHT have gushed a little over this bike…the Orca has always been an iconic bike for me…and I finally got to ride one! SPOILER! I wasn’t disappointed…

[Nosaracasalaplaya]

The only con for you is the price is that correct !?
