Orange 5

2020 Orange Five Rs

The 5 is sure-footed in every situation and the ultra-stiff chassis means that it feels more solid than its weight would suggest. It’s easy to pick up and manoeuvre and, because it’s incredibly stiff and very well balanced, if you do find yourself in a situation where you’re out of your depth, the bike is sturdy enough to let you hold on and try to ride it out. Obviously you won’t always get away with it – short-travel bikes have their limitations – but with the 5 you are going have to push it really hard to find them. Firstly, the swingarm profile was rounded to reduce weight, while the chainstay length was increased by half an inch, upping travel from 5in to 5.5in. More recently the down tube changed profile to help dissipate forces from the shock mount. There’s a shake-up in too sizing, the XS has been dropped and there’s a new XXL size up and over XL for taller riders. This gives the XL bike 10mm more reach and a measurement of 483mm, which is exactly the same size as a XL Santa Cruz Bronson, to put it in perspective.

I don’t think you can put a Five in the same class as a Trek or a Specialized, simply because the Five is hand made in the Orange and UK generally are a premium brand still. When I was looking to replace my Turner Flux with something more versatile I took a Five for a test ride, not expecting a complete lot. I was very, very surprised and it became a no-brainer decision really. I’d have one, just on the strength of rave reviews from mates who’ve already got them. very versatile; can build up light to cover ground at high speed or build up burly for lots of fun, or can do summit in the middle. You probably need to try one – they are found by me a bit ‘active’ compared to my Stumpjumper FSR.

Orange Clockwork 29 Evo S Model, Hardtail Mountain Bike Vgc Large Frame

Of course Orange’s history of poor warranty support for its many failed frames is just ignored as the kind of quaint thing you get from a handmade British product producing company. Its just the Prophet has outstanding reviews across the majority of the mtb press, is a comparable product and costs a damn sight less. For some though the fact a frame is beaten out of old filing cabinets in the UK is enough to for them to swallow the premium of having a ‘Made in UK’ sticker on them, with the actual ride and build quality being secondary. Purchased my 5 Pro in May ’07 and I’ve not considered another bike since.

  • The Ultra Lite Beam swingarm joins the main pivot, to the rear axle.
  • This set-up gives a fixed axle path, and the construction technique used by Orange ensures that the swingarm is stiff enough to avoid side loading the shock or any additional reinforcing links.
  • The bulk of the weight of the swingarm is concentrated at the pivot so it contributes less to the unsprung mass , allowing the swingarm to get out of the real way faster.
  • Of the four bikes on test the Orange 5 has the most straightforward suspension design.

It feels like you have more travel than you actually do also, for that week in the Alps so is perfect. The 145 travel Orange Five gets a major revamp – more active, more lightweight, more fun. See the new Orange Five Evo short-travel trail bike also.

I did like the look of the 5’s though and maxle on the rear would be good. Hi mate I have a five, got it in august the best bike I have ever owned. I really like the bike it’s really tough climbs well flies down hill, ridden a cannondale so cant comment never. Orange are very good on the test ride so I would speak to your LBS front.

Orange 5

For the full house MrNutt you could mention how Orange bikes are the only bike that could have propelled Steve Peat to the top of the DH scene. Cannondale Prophets get good reviews and are very similar 140mm ish travel single pivot, and much better value. Each of these bikes is available in a choice of 10 colours, orange and black are free with the other 8 costing an additional £100. Orange reckoned that the bike’s distinctive silhouette speaks for itself. Nothing looks like an Orange Five, so the big ‘Orange’ logo has gone, to be replaced by a subtle Orange under the top tube.

The rest of the graphics have smartened up, and are waterslide transfers now, applied in panels over the base powdercoat and then clearcoated on top – which has the added benefit of giving your paint a second layer of protection. The 2007 version sees additional creasing in the swingarm and down tube, which adds stiffness, but we also feel that it enhances the look of the bike. The swingarm shock mount is a CNC-machined component now, which eliminates two welds and improves post-heat treatment alignment. Finally, all new 5s get a kinked, triple-butted top tube for a slight improvement in standover clearance.
