Orbea is a brand in touch with cyclist' needs,
different cyclists have different statures. The need for stiffness of
someone weighing 60 kgs is different from that of someone of 90kgs.
Similarly, a size 54 frame does not or should
not have the same stiffness as one of 60.
At Orbea we have worked to optimize this ratio, so that regardless of the morphology
of the frame all cyclists will have the same sensation when on the bike.
We realized there was a need to optimize each of the sizes.
It was necessary to bring about a change in the development of the frames,
which led to the development of the SSN technology.
Unlike aluminum, carbon is a non-isotopic material.
This means that depending on the layer orientation one property or other can be obtained.
We have studied the plane stress on the frame to optimize the stiffness weight ratio
so that the cyclist will enjoy the same sensation regardless of their size.
What we have obtained is that all cyclists irrespective of their size
will experience the same cycling sensation.
A person using a size 60 will have exactly the same sensation as someone
using a 48, despite the statue of the rider.
Six men's sizes have been developed
and women's sizes have gone from 3 to 4,
each size has a specific fiber laminate
and this technology is SSN
