Strengths: Excellent frame, good welds, spec, ride position, not a lot to upgrade.Weaknesses: Brakes - are not to my liking. Looking at replacing for either Hope discs or Magura's. Manito fork is not the best - may replace that to !Bottom Line: Good bike, weight aint bad. You get used to the sadle! Mine is in the colour of orange too, which is rare!

from Devon, EnglandDate Reviewed: June 8, 1999
Strengths:
Great bike - very light and responsive frame, good mix of components LX front, XT rear, Avid brakes which are excellent, the handbuilt wheels are far better quality than most other manufacturers provide at this price.Weaknesses:
None I have found yet - although I swapped the rather uncomfortable Orange saddle for a Planet X Kevlar on the day I bought the bike.Bottom Line: I'm glad I bought it and have enjoyed cycling round the Devon/Somerset trails over the last few very wet months. If you get a chance and fancy something a bit different, try riding an Orange!
Favorite Trail:
Mid Devon hills,South West England
Duration Product Used:

Had a Kona Cindercone for many years which was a brilliant choice. I liked the new Konas I tried, but decided to test a UK bike for a change, and the Orange Evo2 was my eventual choice.
Bike Setup:
See www.orangebikes.co.uk for full spec. of the Evo2 and all their range.

a Weekend Warrior
from Bradford, EnglandDate Reviewed: April 28, 1999
Strengths:
The frame is so sweet, stiff and light. The frame is just short of £400 and I have XT up front, with XTR shifters, reverse rise rear, cassette and shifters. Syncros, X-Lite and Chris King do the steering. The brakes are the new Pro System from Hope and they are a guaranteed purchase for those wanting to upgrade all built onto Mavic x317 CD rims!Weaknesses:
Naa No WeaknessesBottom Line: This bike is the ultimate hardtail setup, e-mail me for more details!!
