Origin
The Orkan is Romet's cross/trekking line — a versatile, fully-equipped bike for commuting, fitness and light touring, offered in men's ('M') and women's ('F'/'D') versions. The aluminium frame carries a Suntour NEX suspension fork with lockout on better trims, and bikes come kitted with rack, mudguards and lights. Higher trims run a 30-speed Shimano Deore 3x10 drivetrain with hydraulic disc brakes and Michelin Protek Cross tires, all made in Poland.
