Date Reviewed: August 1, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Price Paid: |
$2800.00 | | Purchased At: | Direct from Orange | | Strengths: | Lightweight, excellent build quality, flows through single track, climbs well, excellent brakes. | | Weaknesses: | Bit of setting up bother on rear shock, stem seems a bit short but turns so well i'll leave it. Cheapo Headset. | | Similar Products Used: | N/A | | Bike Setup: | Standard five pro with the Hope brake option | | Bottom Line: | Excellent product, great value for money. Nothing major to moan about. I may try a longer stem and see what it does and it will definitely get a better quality headset. Long may the love affair continue. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 27, 2005 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Price Paid: |
$2800.00 | | Purchased At: | Orange Factory | | Strengths: | Frame is stiff enough for me and light enough to help me keep climbing, and descend as fast as you like.
Good stock parts - full xt dual control, hope hubs. | | Weaknesses: | As always was the case - ritchey headset - pure cheap $hite. Why did Orange ver buy such poor parts.
| | Similar Products Used: | Orange Evo 2, Kona Chute 99 | | Bike Setup: | Hope headset, EA70 bars, XC Pro tyres, XT Cassette and TA Rings. | | Bottom Line: | This bike is a supreme lightweight cross country babe. Too lightweight for free riding though up in the Austrian Alps - I have the scars to show for this. But hey - you live and learn.
I got hold of this for one and a hlaf grand direct from the factory, so value for money is sky high. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: February 21, 2005 | | Favorite Trail: | full 9 yards in snow.... | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Price Paid: |
$3400.00 | | Purchased At: | mountain trax | | Strengths: | Singletrack, downhill, uphill, very solid bike, planted feel in all conditions, truly awesome. Excellent trail bike/allrounder. | | Weaknesses: | Chainsuck in middle ring, other than that have not found any. Not the lightest - but who cares when it rides this good. | | Bike Setup: | Fox 100R forks, Manitou Swinger shock, hope headset, Monkeylite carbon, Raceface post, Matt Holywell Green (the best colour), Hope Mini Monos. | | Bottom Line: | Fantastic all day bike, hit it with anything you choose it comes back for more, flys through singletrack like no bike i have ridden. Test rode this bike once before being sold on full suss for 1st time, Hope brakes are awesome. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
