OO Lab is a safe space for the Orbea team and key partner brands to have the freedom to explore their creativity and passion with reckless abandon... O O oooooooo yeah
It would've been absolutely hilarious if Campenaerts had waited all the way to the end of Ollie's explanation and had gone "damn, didn't know my bike was doing that!"
Thanks Dr O..... "labs " and crew....2 things , you will have that bar tape on yours asap , and all the riders will want you to handle their bikes for luck now ! Very effing cool ..be well , all !
It's a copy of the original gen2 Aeroad design, from 2014, a bit modified, although more what Canyon did up to the newest 2025 gen4 Aeroad. Still, even the 10 year old Aeroad is faster, then this new Orbea.
Nice review and nice bike. Good to have a smallish space in the wheel arches for aerodynamics, but from a practical point of view having limited clearance means if your tyre picks up a small stone, it will like take some paint off the frame as it passes through the arch. Not great if this happens to your new bike. I’ve had this happen on a few bikes…
So what you are saying, is that Orbea is making a carbon bike (carbon having an issue with sustainability and recycling materials) even less sustainable? It doesn't matter that pros need the bike for only 1 season, the bikes don't disappear after the season, most of them are sold, right?
A while ago my SRAM Rival etap started making a metallic noise. I noticed that the inner plate holding the pulley wheels is scraped from the chain. Quite a lot, a few milimeters deep. I have cleaned the whole drive train completely, fine tuned the gears according to SRAMs guides but the same noice is still there. Is this a common issue? And what would be a fix?
Not as long as he holds the handlebars with his hands as well. It would be different if he resting his forearms (Wilhelm von Schipp tried a kind of handlebar that would rest the entire forearm on it while holding the hoods and that’s banned). As it is, Campenaerts is well within the rules
Ah yes, top secret yet they’re out at the biggest race in the world and one of the biggest sporting events in the world. Clickbait titles are getting less and less thought to them nowadays
Watching this after Campy just won a stage yesterday is something special. ❤
Stunning! Brilliant Victor came and spoke to Ollie, how many other pros would do that?
3:39 that guy in that polka dot 😂😂
Vingegaard really went to town on fueling up for next days stage :P
That’s Vingegaard after carbo-loading 😂
Perfect release timing! Victor made me cry yesterday!
Great win for VC and on the O-Lab Orbea Aero! Such a deserving winner!
Victor seems like an AWESOME dude. So happy for his stage Victory!
As much as I enjoyed the insights, I get the feeling that Ollie enjoyed it even more than we all did. Hero bike.
Great insight into Orbea tech!! Cheers, Pjw
49 is two size down from Orbea's recommended size for Victor's height.
Ollie will be the first person to copy that bar tape as soon as he gets home lol.
Was super-happy to see Victor win a stage, good timing on this video.
Need these kinds of info too to understand behind the scene workings of team and their products. Fabulous. 😊😊
Victor is such a bike geek in the absolute best way
After watching the video Simon did on the Giant TCR, it's hard to not notice it's influence even on that Orbea. Cool rear chainstay.
Is everyone else now team Campenaerts, LOVED yesterdays stage and this looks 🔥🔥#wantone
Victor Campenaerts : top bloke.
Victor is an innovator 😊
I remember getting into cycling several decades ago riding 18mil tires with 120lbs in them. So much more comfortable now!
I own a orbea orca and it's underrated

That sound effect to emphasize his glee when pointing out that Victor is a waxer 🤣
Love my Canyon Aeroad, but this one...stunning!!!

6:19 Wow! Ollie sounded like Campenaerts INTERRUPTED him, and that DISCUSSING about his personal contact tweaks was NOT important!😂🤣😅
he more looked kinda stunned

Victors calves are just 🤯
Ollie, best review of the Tour'24. A waxed chain and Aero is King ... as for the bar tape .... let us know if you try it
6 feet is 182 cm, if you're wondering. Which isn't particularly small.
Seriously. I'm half an inch shorter than that, and I ride "large" bikes.
I was just checking Victor's height... At 173cm, and I told myself "jeebus, that's a really small bike for his height!"
All these super bikes look like they come out of the same jig!!!
So what you are saying, is that Orbea is making a carbon bike (carbon having an issue with sustainability and recycling materials) even less sustainable? It doesn't matter that pros need the bike for only 1 season, the bikes don't disappear after the season, most of them are sold, right?
Ollie is the master fanboy. Ollie, you tried to keep cool with that fist bump but we all saw that spark in your eye and your little legs shaking.
My man Victor Camenearts, oops wrong channel
Just an observation and question. Is there a possibility of a rocks getting wedged in the small gap between the tire and frame?
What sizes in wheels would you see out there, I am sure 700c dominates but what about 650?
Oh wow a prototype that looks exactly like ALL the other aero bikes, crazy groundbreaking stuff for sure
if the chain needs to be taken of every day, what group are they using? Powerlinks shouldn't be re-used I thought?
Some quick links can be re-used. But for a pro team, they'll put a new one on each time.
I think as there are two Os (orbea optimisation lab) that it should be pronounced “oo” as in “ooo! New bike!”
how about "infinity Lab" ?
Hi there, OOLab stands for Orbea Optimization Lab
@@orbea Is that so? astonishing !
Which is more Aero, a tall frame slammed or a smaller frame with spacers
Another vote for Infinity.

You're on the wrong video, there's no mention of SRAM here whatsoever.
Isn't resting his wrist on the padded handlebar against UCI rules?
Not as long as he holds the handlebars with his hands as well. It would be different if he resting his forearms (Wilhelm von Schipp tried a kind of handlebar that would rest the entire forearm on it while holding the hoods and that’s banned).
As it is, Campenaerts is well within the rules
It is read as Infinity Lab as far as I know.
Infinity Lab maybe? 😂
if Orbea made a TT bike just for Ollie, would it be called the Owdo?
Vocsnor rides a 49???? crazy haha
Infinity Lab?
But is it good enough to win a grand tour stage?
His profile says 5ft 8 but you look at that saddle to bb height and saddle to bar drop hes gotta be 5ft 4
Victor, stand back! It's not about you, but the bike 😅😬
Great TT bike with a small man leaving there
3:45 That makes no sense, the tyres don’t get taller when you put them on wide rims, they get shorter.
As if it’s not “infinity lab” instead of ohh lab 👀👀
Cool for victor to manspale to Ollie all the contact points 😂
Surprise, surprise, the bikes professional riders use are not the same as the ones sold to general public.
Importantly can you prove these weights on scales for us, absolutely not a chance are they those weights, c,mon.
Ah yes, top secret yet they’re out at the biggest race in the world and one of the biggest sporting events in the world.

Is this an AD or not? As it feels like every video you put out is a F AD..
"Top Secret" whilst on public display. Cut the BS GCN it is tiresome and insulting.
Victor is soo cool 😎. 🫰
