The new Five has a 65 degree head angle,that’s aggressive enough for most Alpine riding.

I’ve had a pre production Alpine 6 since July now, its a fantastic bike.
To be honest I’ve found the DPX2 better than the more expensive X2 and way easier to set up.

Brilliant news👍

Had my Stage 6 for 2 years now out in the alps with no problems.

with all the different standards now it takes all the joy of building up ur own bike

It’s not e- bikes that are the problem, it’s Strava!

Stunning looking hardtail :P

Jono, no fireroads on the blue, I think you mean the green.

Mine didn’t even last a summer, swapped to Time now and they’re great

Molini will be great then

I have a Stage 6 and it’s brilliant, hope this helps.

I’ve got a Stage 6 & it’s the best bike I’ve owned.
Just how Orange bikes wind up the idiots is enough to make me want to buy another.

All the best trails aren’t on the dh or enduro maps.

Iv’e got a Stage 6, it’s maybe the best bike I’ve ever ridden!

Was in Verbier on Saturday, they have been working all this week on the blue so it should be even better this weekend.

Have a mate with one, he rides 29 front wheel, 650+ back wheel, looks like great fun.

It’s just a little plastic thing.

One comes when u buy the bike new amongst to reflectors and other plastic shit u never use, threw mine away by accident but picked one up at my local bike shop.

Sorry to tell you this Will, those two bikes were discontinued 4 years ago! :lol:

Or just look which one looks better upside down in the background in photos

Stage 5 all the way

Canyon are also a pretty big company with close to 600 employees

When I see a thread for a bike I’m not keen on I don’t bother looking at it.
Having tried the Stage 6 in the environment it was intended for I can confirm it makes perfect sense.
It’s a limited launch model and I’m sure the pro, rs and r models will follow soon.

Looks fantastic!

One of our guides has this very bike out in Verbier at the moment, it blows his Enduro 29er out of the water on the ups and downs.
An amazingly fast bike.

I don’t think they would light, too damp and musty!

I have an Alpine, it’s a fantastic bike.

Try the Shimano Epic

I live just at the bottom of the hill from Verbier, just ordered an Orange 4, it’s not about the amount of travel it’s the quality of the travel, I would take a slack head angle over more travel any day.
The 5 is a great bike for the alps.

It looks like the perfect razzing bike to me.
Not sure it will look that good in a trail centre car park though so I may have to get a Bronson.

The only problem I can see is the earpiece if quite far where you speak into, can be a problem if u have a tiny head.

Great photos

I’m 6ft and ride a medium Genius LT

Wonder if the muppets know Niner stole Kermit green

They are great tyres when new, but even half worn out the grip gets very dicey

Just got a Genius LT Tuned, great bike.

Have you tried a screw with a bigger head? :lol:

This has happened to all my Shimano clutch mechs over time.
