Designed for the Urban Jungle
The Vector is engineered for daily city commutes, whether it’s heading to work, university, or running errands. Prioritizing agility, comfort, and practicality, it addresses the diverse challenges of urban environments, from smooth asphalt to cobblestone streets and unexpected construction zones.
Innovative Frame Technology
At the heart of the Vector lies Orbea’s Twin Glide frame technology. This design features a prominently elevated seat tube, intentionally allowing for slight flex. While it doesn’t replace traditional suspension, this innovation effectively dampens minor road imperfections, enhancing the overall riding experience. (velomotion.net)
