A blue bike?
looks like the wheel will hit the seatube
There may have been a press release day last week at BPW...thats not the only orange that's getting tweaked
ps im not a journo or owt knowledgeable, i had to ask somebody what the difference was as they were stickered 'strange' so knew it was their proto's 🙂
Ooh look at that. The Orange haters are straight in on the first 2 responses!!
I predict a filing cabinet quip/picture by post 8.
I like it BTW.
Your wish....
Looks like all the others to me!*

*I like Oranges, have owned many but still like a good filing cabinet joke.

My response was "a blue bike". How you read that as "I hate Orange - they're really rubbish" is completely beyond me.
Actually I like Orange. I rode a 5 until it was nicked. If I could afford it I'd have another.
All their range getting the lighter swingarm then?
Looks better too!

Someone's a bit precious
Carbon wheels costing as much as the frame seems excessive given how heavy their frames usually are

Not really, I do like them but don't own one, I'm just a bit bored today, and don't really fancy posting on the EU threads!!
Liking the filing cabinet pic though.
Why's the chainset on the back??

Nope after santa cruz and Audi I got nuthin left
Hurrah! The bike I nearly bough last time round until I discovered they weren't making an xl.
I'll be very interested in this in a year or so.

Are you shrinking?
I quite like it. Its hard to make a single pivot look cool but I think since the fabricators took over Orange has made some nice moves. Good work Orange.
That's some next level origami going on with the swingarm.
as with v666ern ^ i saw these at BPW last week
look nice enough, esp the newer swingarm, cant get my eyes past the ridiculous cassette on the SRAM 1x12 and didnt look closely enough to see if its 1x only.
i heard mixed reviews, but more based around different components rather than frame layout.

Pretty sure thats an XT cassette
Frame looks nice- long, low & slack.
That rear mech looks awfully close to the ground 😯
It's like a 36t cassette on a kids bike.
Pretty sure thats an XT cassette
might well be, i cant tell. the sram is even worse, when they are side by side, its laughable
Nice!
I'm still waiting for an orange fatbike..
Im thinking the Crush tweaked with fat wheels..
Yeah - Fat Orange please 🙂
Oooooo, interesting....
Having fancied a look at a Segment due to them not making a 5 29 / Alpine 5ish bike atm I may have to wait on...
I'd quite like the 5 to get the triangulated swing arm but I'll take a new Alpine next year.
New owners - new tweaking.
Reminded me of a yeti when i saw it quickly.
If its boost rear end i'm on board, picky i know, i'm not the lightest and ride pretty hard and kill wheels, a lot of 650b bikes ive ridden seem to have a flexy rear end due to the wheel. I love my Alpine, I have the last model 26" so this ticks all the boxes.
Surely gonna be Boost and I can't imagine them including a front mech mount. It's already been phased off the current bikes innit?
PB caption mentioned an 11-46t rear cassette, I thought XT only went to 42t? (but might be wrong)
Yes, 11-46t is the new cassette they are releasing in the Xt11 Mk2 range.
