MBR TESTED ORANGE FIVE "TRAIL BIKE OF THE YEAR!! 2008, 2009 and 2010!!!
See MBR's exclusive MTBcut video about the new Orange Five here...
The Orange Five is synonymous with the Orange brand, a masterpiece of evolution and progression. Over ten years and countless nights have been spent thinking about tweaks and refinements to keep it at the forefront of the trail-riding scene. The newest version continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible, and a few choice additions compliment other developments in the industry. A state-of-the-art pièce de résistance, or a trail tool of simplicity? Whichever, nothing is more fun to ride…
The 2011 Orange Five stays true to its roots as a low slung, fast handling trail whippet which can play gently in the Dales or storm a black run. The mix of Monocoque construction and custom butted 6061-T6 Reynolds tubes keep weight down with a new tapered headtube adding stiffness. A 30.9 mm seat-tube adds compatibility for more ‘dropper’ seat-posts and we’ve added ISCG mounts for securely fitting a chain device. The same single pivot position continues to keep the suspension balanced between sensitivity and efficiency with the bearing system promoting stiffness and reliability. The Five has already become a classic, and it just got better.
