Guy Martin's New Orange Five Evo (2022)

- There are few household names that better line up what we’re all about here at Orange than Guy Martin.
Down to earth, as British as pie-and-chips and absolutely obsessed with speed, quality engineering and craftsmanship Guy just ‘gets’ Orange. And, of course, like us, Guy doesn’t take himself too seriously and does everything with a smile on his face and a dose of northern ingenuity and eccentricity!
What a few people don’t know is that, like us, Guy is absolutely obsessed with mountain biking. As you’d expect, he’s pretty handy on two-wheels and has, in his time, competed in some serious gravity and endurance events. So, when Guy decided it was time to upgrade his trusty Orange Five, we obviously jumped at the chance.
A lot of you probably saw Guy’s 2012 video ‘It Is What It Is’ where he visited Orange HQ and built his own bike. Things have moved on a lot in the decade since that video was produced and Orange’s bikes and manufacturing processes have come on leaps and bounds. To get Guy up to date with a more modern Orange, we built him a custom Five Evo with a one-of-a-kind brushed alloy effect that isn’t available to people that don't own their own Spitfire engine.
To say Guy’s new bike is an upgrade on his old Five is as much of an understatement as saying “Guy Martin quite likes tinkering with engines”. The two bikes are leagues apart and the new Five Evo is the end result of a decade of Orange evolving its manufacturing processes, its facilities, its machinery, its staff and - of course - its bike design.
Since Guy filmed ‘It Is What It Is’, Orange has completely relocated its manufacturing headquarters to a much more modern facility, invested massively in high-tech equipment and tooling and hugely modernised how its frames are made.
The biggest change for Guy’s new bike is the move to complex monocoque tubes, made by folding aluminium sheets to create seriously strong and seriously lightweight frames. This allows us to make the exact shapes that want, fine-tuning ride ‘feel’, weight and stiffness and the downtube alone has over twice the folds of that older generation Five. It’s a far cry from those old days of oily fingers, lumpy tubes and bought-in bits.
The suspension design has also, despite what the keyboard warriors might say, moved on leaps and bounds. That original bike employed an almost digressive design towards the end of its travel. These days, the Orange Five (Evo) is much more progressive making it a super capable, aggressive and confidence-boosting platform that goes up as well as it goes along and down. Ironically, both bikes share similar rear travel numbers, with Orange choosing to push geometry rather than grow travel.
And, of course, unlike that old bike there are now dropper posts, 27.5” wheels, 1X drive trains and hugely improved suspension technology to give Guy an even better experience.
Guy’s one-off colour scheme is something we’re particularly proud of. It took 8 hours of elbow grease from Orange Warehouse Manager Vaughan, who hand buffed Guy’s frame to create this custom look. It was hand polished with wire brushes and scouring pads, then brushed off with compressed air and finished with custom graphics. We finished the bike up with some Hope Racing Green components, which were handpicked by the man himself.
So what’s next for Guy and his new Five Evo? Good question - he’s remaining pretty tight-lipped about his plans but promises that he’s on the lookout for his next big event. He’s particularly keen on big-distance, epic events so watch this space!

Guy Martin is LEGEND. So sweet to see he rides Orange Bikes. Kudos to you guys for getting this guy on your Team!
guys been orange for more then a decade ruclips.net/video/mlIYEdRFQu4/видео.html
Properly trick! Orange, Hope and Guy Martin. Goes together like fish & chips
you forgot the mushy peas 😁
And mushy peas..
And tomato sauce.
And an empty bank account orange are way overpriced
That’s sick can we see a first ride with the man him self.
AZTR, Great Divide and many many 24hr races, this guy is so underrated as a rider. Glad to see a great bike go to a deserving rider. Much respect
Stunning bike! Guy's reaction when he saw it was priceless.
Very cool! Love the frame color and entire spec choices.
He looked over the moon. What a sweet looking build. Well done guys!
I wanna see some footy of Guy shredding on the thing!
It's fascinating to me how the Dandy Horse has been making people so SO damn happy for over two centuries now. An invention that has perpetual momentum for human happiness like nothing else has. And it has hardly changed at all since its beginnings, amazing!
Love this having an orange dh bike makes me even more proud now thanks guy and orange bikes
You can tell he was impressed with the design and function as well as the looks 👌 he’s all about the science
I can't believe 'It is what it is' was ten years ago! What the 'quack'
Work of art these things, always owned orange bikes Iv got a 224 at the moment it’s beautiful to look at
Lucky enough to have two Orange bikes ..... they're works of art! Guy Martin would understand and appreciate what goes into building them.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who installs a dropper the sensible way! :D
The legend deserves it! Love it.
Just bought my first Orange Bike, not a brand new one but it’s in mint condition, Neon Green ST4, love it, can’t wait to get to Wales and do some riding!
It must be satisfying handing over a bike to a sponsored rider who is genuinely over the moon to receive it. And you know he's going to ride the wheels off it.
He's like a kid at Christmas, you can see it in his eyes.
What i like is how you make the tubes, lugs and linkages in house which is pretty rare. Most small time frame builders buy in the hardware and don't build a bike for you.
The reaction says it all 😎
Amazing work congrats!
So trick! I hope to see him on... maybe an epic ride 👌
So cool how guy is this insanely skilled n experienced motorcycle racer. And the look on his face to a mountain bike? Priceless. Like a kid at chirstmas...
He loves his toys and seems a down to earth bloke I one remember one of his quotes “some blokes like shagging don’t they don’t get me wrong it’s alright but I’d rather go on me bike”
He's so chuffed with his new bike!!
That's proper !!!
Guys face was a picture 🤣
Sweet! I love a new bike day 👌
Guy is a legend 👍🏻 happy riding
EVEN THE DUCK LOVED IT
Nothing like new bike day

Great video and built- I hope you swapped the headset spacer the right way up before giving it to him!!
Lol. Blink and you miss it. Had to rewind a few times!
@@ENLSN77 I worked in a bike shop for

l love motorcycles but also love ❤️ my mountain bikes and that's just how I feel about them.
Like the cat that got the cream
This is an interesting combination
?
Dream bike right there!
I thought Guy had sold his merlin engine to someone who works at Mercedes F1 team though....
Sooo cool, guy you lucky bugger, 🤘🤘😃
Nice bike clean and simple for uk riding, need to get my ZERO built up who remembers that?
Hope and Orange...👍👍👍👍
Nice.
Time for some more wheelies.
As if Orange bikes wasn't already my favourite bike company.
Why was the space upside down
I'd like to fit a CYC X 1 Pro Gen 2 motor to that bike it would be awesome fun with a back pack battery set up ..
Where can get green cranks I run the same green bits in my hope breaks
Green is one of the hardest colours to anodise, so hope mostly provide their hope “team green” parts to their sponsored riders, or people who have a lot of money to invest in a bike, or if someone has good relationships with the Hope higher ups maybe. Because of this, the most readily available green Hope parts are their top cap bolts and the reach/BPC screws.
Leg end 🤘🏼
After all that fame, he's still working as truck mechanic :)
For Guy it's not work, it's playtime. He's lucky enough to do what loves all day, every day.
I would love to see guy design and build a mountain bike
I feel like my ADHD’s spirit animal is Guy Martin! Lol He is a LEGEND !
What a bloody racket .
How do you tell someone is riding an orange? You can here the rear suspension knocking and chain slapping from a mile away 👌😜
Nice bike
Nice Guy!
Nice price
Dear Santa.
I'm pretty sure that I Must have misheard the lyrics of that song.
What size is the frame, bike is the business, I love orange lol
By eck pet, did ya gifted that pushy for nowt?
Is this bike basically the replacement for the Orange FOUR? The shorter travel and the split stays make me think it might be.
A more modern version yeah. Bit more travel, way slacker and longer though, can do rowdier things.
@@danielgrafik I get pretty rowdy on my Four to be honest. Chucked some wider tyres on it and added an extra 10mm of travel on the fork. It's a lively little ripper.
Looks XC with that stack height
I heed one of those ducks too!
Epic.....all he needs to do now is build an MTB center at the side of his Motorcross track then happy days for everyone..🤟👍🤟
How much welding is on each of those joints? It’s a bike, not a tank.
Lots of geese there.
Orange if you're ever giving away a bike you know where I am...🤣
Guy is the greatest gent I have found on this planet
Did guy go 27.5,or 29 🤔🤔
Do u shipping to asia?
What's the music used in this video???
Answer my own question! Bubble Boys - Ditty Bomb
that is one sweet looking bike, need to win lotto or sell the kids to buy one😜
The holder of a heap of World Records. Now what records can he achieve on this beast ?????
I wonder if guy still laughs at people who use 800mm+ bars and I bet he no longer uses 760mm himself.
You forgot the Guy Martin subtitles. ;)
Bloody hell, bloody hell, bloody hell, bloody hell and one or two other words.
Beautiful bike, love it, but no to the carbon bars for me 😄
My thoughts as well. All that aluminum everywhere and then carbon bars? Strange choice actually.
@Tickle Fritz I wouldn't trust them as much, they're fine for more casual riding, but seen too many snapped ones after they're ridden hard.
@@RideKernow82 I'm not scared of carbon. It was just an aesthetic blunder in my opinion. Truth is, once I had a pair of aluminum bars break on me. I had to steer the bike holding the fork crown to get back to the truck.
Shame other manufacturers can't follow suit and grease there bikes before shipping
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Why was there a duck in that car park?
Needs taller bars
Where does the water bottle go
In your backpack 😜
Not a fan of the mix bag of colours, the green and orange don't go.
The hope bits should of been orange , gold or black
The hope green are for factory and sponsored riders.
@@christonamtb4089 yeah I understand that but this bike could of been so much better.
Do the frame black or green, change the fox stickers to black or green, black dropper seat post etc.
