Orange Crush MX – New 140mm Travel Mixed Wheel Hardtail

Orange Bikes announces an addition to its hardtail line up: the Orange Crush MX.

The Orange Bikes range of hardtails currently includes the Crush and the P7, both available in 27.5in and 29in wheel sizes. To the mix is added the Crush MX – a 140mm hardtail with 29in wheel up front and a 27.5in wheel at the back. We’re a bit sad it’s not called the Bucks Fizz.

Orange says:

This 140mm travel mixed wheel trail slayer could be your perfect only bike or an ideal N+1. It features a 6061 custom butted aluminium frame, 64.5° head angle, reduced offset fork, 75.5° seat angle, 430mm chain stays and a reach of 480mm (size large). Providing you with the stability to ride in even the toughest of conditions but not being so overkill you couldn’t ride your local loop with a smile on your face. Additional details include a sleek tapered head tube, CNC dropper cable guides, plenty of tyre clearance to accommodate even the wildest of 2.6 tyres and a new seat stay bridge.

At first the bikes will only be available in a Pro spec, and can be ordered from 4th September. The first 50 of these bikes will come in a Raw finish and be available from November. If you miss out on them, you can take delivery of a ‘Sparkling Silver’ finish from March. For the R spec, you’ll need to wait a bit longer – Orange doesn’t say when they’re expecting them, but with long lead times being reported on components this doesn’t come as a surprise.

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
