Video: Get to know Orro Bikes' complete road and gravel range
British brand Orro has developed a large range of bikes over the past few years and we headed down to its Sussex headquarters to check out the 2019 highlights.
Orro designs its own bikes here in the UK and owns its own moulds; these aren't generic open mould designs with Orro logos added.
The range includes the Gold STC road bike, STC standing for 'spread tow carbon'. The spread tow carbon technology comes from Sigmatex, a Runcorn-based carbon composite specialist whose materials are used in many other industries such as the automotive and aerospace sectors. Orro uses the spread tow carbon to reduce frameset weight and increase stiffness.
Check out our review of the Orro Gold STC Disc
The Venturi aero road bike (main pic, top of page) uses spread tow carbon too. This bike is disc brake-specific and optimised for 28mm tyres.
Orro has brought in more materials technology from Sigmatex to improve the performance of its Terra C road/gravel bike. This time it includes Innegra in the layup, a high modulus polypropylene fibre that improves the level of impact resistance, providing protection from any stones or gravel that get flicked up from the road surface.

About road.cc Buyer's Guides
The aim of road.cc buyer's guides is to give you the most, authoritative, objective and up-to-date buying advice. We continuously update and republish our guides, checking prices, availability and looking for the best deals.
Our guides include links to websites where you can buy the featured products. Like most sites we make a small amount of money if you buy something after clicking on one of those links. We want you to be happy with what you buy, so we only include a product in a if we think it's one of the best of its kind.
As far as possible that means recommending equipment that we have actually reviewed, but we also include products that are popular, highly-regarded benchmarks in their categories.
Here's some more information on how road.cc makes money.
You can also find further guides on our sister sites off.road.cc and ebiketips.
