DIVA - Diva is
the new standard in female-specific performance
bikes. The Diva shares DNA with Orbea’s Orca,
incorporating the same Size Specific Nerve
technology found in the bike of Beijing gold
medalist Samuel Sanchez, then adapted to Orbea’s
Dama geometry. The combination of SSN and Dama
geometry shows the industry’s highest devotion to
female-specific bike design, and has re-defined how
bikes are built for women. Under the striking colors
and smooth, flowing lines is a frame constructed of
Toray M30S F1 high-modulus and T700 medium-modulus
carbon fibers, yielding a performance oriented bike
that is equally at home on the pro race circuit or
your local Saturday ride. |

Dama Geometry for Women
- Dama geometry consists of more than shorter
top tubes and marketing hype. Every single angle of
every frame size is designed to contribute to one of
the smoothest, fastest, most stable performance
bikes in the world. Our size 49 road bike is a
perfect example of the care with which the Dama
geometry was developed. Designed to be the smallest
available production race bike made with 700c
wheels, the size 49 was created with utmost
attention to front-center measurements and
headtube angles. The result is a real petit racing
bike – a first in women’s bike design. |

Wheel Size Matters: Dama 650c -
Orbea believes that every rider should have the same
inspired experience. The average adult woman is
approximately 5’4” tall. This means that
approximately half of the female population is less
than 5’4” and that a significant number of women
need a bike smaller than can be designed with 700c
wheels. When addressing the needs of our customers
who are smaller in stature we were unwilling to make
compromises in regards to how a bike should feel.
The new 46cm size with 650c wheels will allow a
woman of less than five feet to get the same precise
fit without sacrificing handling or safety. Orbea
knows that sometimes less is more. |
