Its been a long while since I’ve owned an Orange, and they’ll never see another penny of my money, mostly due to their piss poor customer care an attitude when I went through a couple of their sub5’s back in the day.
As it transpires, I prefer the ride of a decent four bar system. The question is, what do you prefer?
They’ll give quite a different ride – you might like the way the orange stiffens under power so it feels firm, but hooks up more readily of square edged bumps, or you might prefer the more fluid zesty that will track rough stuff better under power, but may feel squishy and slack.
What do you want from your bike?
