The All-New Orange Five | Trail Shredder Rewards Skill, Punishes Mistakes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 апр 2019
- Orange has revamped its ever-popular Five to have more travel and gnarlier intentions. Dating back to the year 2000, Orange’s Five has become one of the most important bikes it's ever sold.
Over nearly two decades it has morphed and changed with the trends adapting to consumer demands and the ever-changing UK trail centre scene while retaining the original minimal maintenance, maximum fun mantra that’s helped it stand the test of time.
Like its recently-released Alpine 6, the new Five isn’t a dramatic departure from Orange’s proven recipe. The bike’s still got the same outline; it’s still a single pivot, and most importantly, it retains Orange’s hallmark poppy and fun ride characteristics.
Let us know what you think of the new Orange Five in the comments.

So, Orange's new Five. What do you think to this single pivot shredder? As always let us know in the comments!
My 2020 Five RS is epic fun to ride! Easy to maintain & live with! Love the fact it's handbuilt in Halifax too.... Great job 🍊
Cant comment too much on the Orange 5 as i currently own the stage 5. I have owned many bikes ranging from Specialized/Giant and Rocky mountain and all were Carbon bikes, maybe it is just me but there is something special about an Orange bike. I freaking love mine and not sure I can ever turn back, it is so much fun and damn fast for a trail/am bike.
Craig Flanigan help me replace my rusty bike please thanks
@@galgalsmegals3621 isn't it aluminum? LOL
Craig Flanigan hello my bike was 20years old already sir to be honest gift from my grandmom
Feel the same about my orange crush!!
Ridden my Mrs Orange Five loads and on the right trail it's a rocket of a bike ! I've got a Stage 6 and it really is a quick bike
A coil shock would be quite a bad idea when they say that the frame hardly has any progression right?
A shame... just imagine the suppleness and non-existent stick-slip on a single pivot/coil rear end.
Progressive coils started to pop up recently so i guess it's just a matter of time
I love this reviewer's style. More reviews from him please.
Glad you enjoyed it! Alex really knows his stuff, so it's great to hear people find his advice useful
The question is how much more maintainance does a multi pivot bike requires compared to the Orange 5? If it is significant, then the single pivot design and its climbing anti squat capabilities are worth it over other bikes. Regardless, the bike looks beautiful... 😍🚲
I had a 5 for 8 years and had to change out the bearing about every 18 months. I'm now on a Cotic Rocket and I'm yet to see any hint of play in the bearings. Perhaps an isolated case, but in my experience whilst it's simpler to change the bearings on a single pivot, that doesn't matter if you have to do it much more frequently.
I was hellbent on getting the Alpine 6 as my next FS but I'm only 140lbs so I think this will be substantial... Never liked the look of the single rear stay either but I must say it's growing on me.
Love the British invasion of MTB. Purchased a Ragley 29 hardtail. Recent purchase of the Orange Five RS, gives me the suspension I need for the Winter trails. And the single-pivot design means more riding, less maintenance. I do find the Cane Creek DB inline air shock is better than the Rockshox Super Deluxe. Especially if you're a heavy rider.
I have an Orange FOUR and I would like to try a Five with more travel. Are they much heavier than the Orange FOUR?
Hey guys, i bought a new Canyon Torque. I got this bike today. This is my first air sprung fork. And i have a few questions about my Rockshox Lyrik. When i have no weight on the bike the bike sit at 5% sag already. How do I get this to 0% like it is supposed to. And on the fork it has a sticker for how much psi is needed for what weight. So at my weight it should be 65 psi. But if i go and sit on the bike with that psi I get around 40% sag. 100 psi results in 20% sag with my 68kg. I dont really get it.. Maybe you guys can explain?
What exactly does it mean 'it gives back as much as you put in'? That might only apply for an e-bike :)
if you ride crap so does the bike
@@Salvotation Playing the blame game....I say it's all in the rider unless your bike is out of tune
Definitely a different look.
Not as different as in the past - I owned an Orange UFO in the '90s (and an X2 before that) and that was pretty different looking for the time. The UFO I rode into the ground and now adorns the shed wall. Not sure I think the current full suss range is good value but bought the P7 29 steel hard tail this year and love it.
Simple and good but over price for AL frame..
Tae jun Jin handmade in the uk from start to finish, happy to pay extra for that, I’ve got a crush n I love it
@@AndrewHanlonGaming Orange's hardtails are made in Taiwan. Only their full-suss frames are made in the UK
The five needs a rear swing arm like the alpine the fives looks too bulky however it’s still a beautiful bike
massively overpriced in Australia, through the official website, by about 30-40% compared to the UK - I can get a Yeti, Santa Cruz, Evil etc... FOR LESS.
they are overpriced, even in the uk you can buy FAR better bikes for the money... not convinced either by the filing cabinet looks and dinosaur rear suspension
@@jamble7k orange are awesome . They fly around the trails . I've owned plenty over the years .
Just put a 36 on. You won't go back to a 34.
Why not the downtube brand name? Anyone
I know Orange have a lot of supporters, but they bore me senseless.
Richard Hayter have you ridden one ?
Not for about 10 years.
Richard Hayter you should ride a modern one ...lots of fun
@@daveandmerlin There are loads of other bikes I'd rather own than any Orange full sus. Like their gravel/cyclocross bike for example.
Worst looking frame ever, and single pivot. This bike is still in the 90’s
Orange - dated and overpriced.
