Anybody got further details or is this old news? 😳

I'm liking the look of that.....................apart from the suspension seatpost. 😯
Is it? Or is it a dropper??

It's a new frame that Steve from Orange was riding on a trip from Verbier to Zermat.I don't know if it will see production but he was certainly liking it!
Yes it is a gravity dropper,they make great sense for this type of riding.
You can check out the trip at http://www.ridemorzine.org/ and you can see more pictures of the bike at http://www.flickr.com/photos/carlandsian/sets/72157622751873266/

Doubt it would replace the 5. If it ever reached production would prob sit along side it to some degree or other...

I don't think they are planning on replacing the 5 with this,maybe a replacement for the st4?

I notice they're not using the tyres Orange generally ship with their bikes, swapped for something decent 😉
