What new frame?
If you want 180mm forks you'll be better off with the new patriot.

With Oranges exacting and precise production schedules I'm guessing it will come out eventually.....or not.

2012 already, its only may!

how come no more blood? i bet they end up the santa cruz 4x of the orange range - ie no-one buys one but then wants one when they arent available!

looks like red or black- look at the extra costs for each of the colour options!

Fitted the renthal stem/bar to my 2009, def works well! And reduces weight. Looks like this 2012 spec due out in July!
