Orange Bikes 2001 Sub5 Vs 2020 Five Comparison

We are Orange Dealers here at Cycle Factory and they kindly loaned us a couple of special bikes to take a closer look at. The Sub5 was their first version of the legendary Five model and was first made in 2000. This 2001 XTR spec Sub5 bike belongs to one of the owners of Orange (Dont break it Sam). If you ever heard someone say Orange bikes haven't changed the proof is here.

Still got my 2000 Sub5. Different to the one you have there as its got posts for rim brakes on the swing arm as well as disc caliper mounts. I really must put it back together one day.

Just shredded Rogate on a sub 5 felt like the dream! Apart from the super steep technical stuff

Not much changed really with them.
