Features Road Stealth fighter By James Huang published 19 March 2009 Team Type 1 rider Matt Wilson's Orbea Ordu is certainly one of the more distinctive time trial rigs... Image 1 of 15Matt Wilson's (Team Type 1) Orbea Ordu is one of the most distinctively shaped time trial bikes among the professional ranks.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)Orbea opts for a conventional 1 1/8" steerer instead of a narrower 1" one saying the unique head tube shape allows for lower drag without compromising front end rigidity.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)The airfoil-shaped down tube is mated with a diamond profile seat tube.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)Orbea extends the down tube a bit below the shell to help shield the rear wheel while the chain stays are situated nearly level.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)We can't say definitively if this tube shaping is faster than smoother lines but it certainly is easy to spot.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)Even the seatpost and clamp bear matching sharp-edged shapes.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)Orbea carries the fork blade profile all the way through to the ends of the dropouts.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)Rear entry dropouts allow for a close fit between the rear wheel and seat tube.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)Team Type 1 is sponsored by Shimano and PRO so Wilson uses the flat version of PRO's integrated Missile aero bar.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)The straight extensions use a collet system to adjust the length.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)Alloy brake levers use a slim profile.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)Like many teams, Team Type 1 steps the component group down a notch for the time trial bikes.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)Wilson's bike is fitted with a 50mm-deep Shimano Dura-Ace carbon tubular up front…(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)…and a Zipp 900 disc out back, both wrapped with Continental Sprinter tubulars.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)The Selle Italia SLR T1 saddle provides a bit more cushioning on the nose.(Image credit: James Huang/Cyclingnews.com)Pro bikes, March 23, 2009Matt Wilson's Team Type 1 Orbea OrduGet The Leadout NewsletterThe latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors Thank you for reading 5 articles in the past 30 days*Join now for unlimited accessEnjoy your first month for just £1 / $1 / €1 Join now Already have an account ?
