I love a simple hardtail and that transam looks ace!!

i have an OG TransAm frame hanging in my garage. Assumed it wouldnt have any used value, so hung it up as a bit of ‘garage art’.

Already has a lovely, shiny hardtail

Sees a new shiny hardtyail

Wants new shiny hardtail

Orange say: “built into a sleek Orange suspension chassis,”

 

Internet says “show me a sleek Orange full-sus bike from the last 20 years.”

 

I’m an Orange fan BTW!, but sleek they have never been!

 

 

So make a high-performance race bike and stick a battery in it so you can’t actually race it? I guess it’s meant to be more technical exercise than viable sales proposition? Would be interesting to read how it rides though, hopefully they didn’t just test it on track-smooth roads.

High performance bike for less than high performance athletes?
