Striking looks are Orbea’s standard position when it comes to making good looking bikes, and the female specific Aqua Dama is no disappointment here. Although some may not like the ‘girly’ pink splashes of colour on the women’s road bike, before deciding on colour alone we urge you to check out the details.
The 7005 series aluminium tubing is hydroformed for unique tubing shapes and fitted with Orbea’s carbon fork and integrated headset to provide strength and stiffness of the frame as well as to give it a unique custom appearance.
Shimano 105 components form the entire groupset, with the exception of the Shimano Tiagra front derailleur and cassette and the FSA Omega double crankset. Treats include the Orbea carbon seatpost and Orbea Aero wheelset with women specific compact design Orbea handlebars and Selle Italia X1 Flow saddle.
The Aqua Dama is a worthy contender in this competitive price range and it gets a double thumbs up for being slightly under-budget too.
