Orbea, which announced a new partnership with Lotto Dostony on January 4, released news about the official Team Edition Orca bike that Lotto riders will ride in 2024.

The first press release from the brand included a video of a matte black Orbea Orca ridden by Arnaud de Lee. Cycling News' Tech Slack channel received more than a few comments expressing the hope that a few more colors would be used on this year's team bikes.

Fast forward a week later, and the official team color bikes for 2024 have been announced. It is also worth noting that these same models are now available for immediate purchase, although not all pro bikes are. [The lightweight, climbing-focused Orca M10i received a fresh update last July, with a slimmer profile and non-dropped seatstays. Also on the horizon is the aero-focused Orca Aero, which features a deeper head tube, three-dimensional tubing, dropped seatstays, and an aero water bottle.
