HOW ORBEA AND LOTTO DSTNY JOINED FORCES

People, passion and performance: How Orbea and Lotto Dstny joined forces to take on the world’s toughest races.

 

In professional cycling, partnerships matter. The right combination of people, passion and technology can distinguish a good team from a great one, turning near misses into podium finishes.

 
 
 

Orbea and Lotto Dstny’s new partnership emerged from mutual respect and shared values, rooted in an unwavering pursuit of excellence. Initial conversations revealed a perfect alignment between Orbea’s innovative design approach and Lotto Dstny’s commitment to performance.

Joseba Arizaga, Road Product Manager at Orbea, saw the potential immediately, giving Orbea the chance to showcase its high-performance road bike to a global audience.

 

“Within a day, we had prepared some bicycles, including the Orca Aero and the Ordu, and travelled to Belgium for testing with Lotto riders Arnaud De Lie and Victor Campenaerts.”

For Orbea to be successful, we needed to be in the peloton with one of the best teams, so the opportunity to join such an iconic team as Lotto was super exciting.

 

Yet the scope of collaboration extends well beyond marketing value, with shared performance goals, a passion for racing and two-way technical collaboration at its core. Custom-built bikes are tailored for the team, with Lotto’s riders playing a key role in the development for optimal performance in the world’s most challenging races.

“Victor Campenaerts focused on aerodynamics and position, while Arnaud De Lie focused on maximum power and sprinting. Their feedback helped us understand their needs, with both riders appreciating the stiffness and aerodynamics of the Orca Aero,” explained Arizaga.
