Can’t find this info anywhere (Orange seem a bit coy about weights, or maybe my Google-fu has deserted me).

anyone know how much the current Orange Alpine 160 26 frame weighs with shock (standard Fox Float CTD unit)?

Cheers.

I weighed my new large 2014 26 two weeks ago when i picked it up, fitted with a rockshox monarch plus RC3 debonair and it came out at 3.85kg. Nothing else fitted except the seatpost QR clamp.

Think theres about 130-150g difference between the Fox and RS shock.

Hope that helps.

I did find some weights ages ago when I was seeing how it compared to a Rocket but I’ll be damned if I can find them now! I think it was a bit lighter though.

Thanks.

chief… That’s exactly what I’m trying find the weight for.

I guessed as much! I bought a Spitfire after sadly cancelling my order, which is ridiculously awesome. I think that on the whole Oranges are quite light for what they are because there’s only one pivot, the box section swingarm is inherently light for its stiffness and they’re not built super stiff anyway.
