we've got metric shocks we've got lower
0:02
bottom brackets we've got lower pivot
0:04
Points we've got 5 m More Travel we've
0:06
got degree less off here there's so many
0:12
numbers hi this is chips from single
0:14
track magazine and single track
0:16
world.com and I here with the 2020
0:19
Orange 5 I'm here with a older Orange 5
0:23
as well so we can see the differences
0:25
because there are many although they may
0:28
look very similar perhaps with uh some
0:31
different stickers they are very
0:33
different orange is Keen to point out
0:36
that the only tube remaining that's the
0:38
same is the C tube everything else has
0:41
been
0:42
reshaped uh different lengths different
0:45
geometry completely different but it's
0:48
only when you compare the two side by
0:49
side that you actually see some of the
0:51
differences starting at the front of the
0:54
bike uh the head tube is degrees slacker
0:57
it's now 65°
1:00
and uh it's a 74° effective seat angle
1:05
uh the HED she was also shorter it's 20
1:07
mil shorter to give a lower stack uh and
1:12
so that as today's Forks get longer and
1:14
longer it doesn't kind of you don't end
1:18
up reaching for the skies the bike now
1:21
is a 145 travel bike with 150 Fork so
1:25
150
1:26
145 it's got 65° head angle 7 4°
1:30
effective seat angle and uh it now comes
1:35
with a metric shock metric shocks are
1:38
longer than their Imperial Brethren so
1:41
Orange has had to do a lot of Machining
1:42
to get the the shock to fit if you
1:45
compare compare it with our older
1:47
version here there's a fair amount of
1:49
meat around the front and rear chock
1:52
mounts and here you can see it's been
1:54
machined out until it it's virtually
1:57
touching the down tube and uh almost
2:00
touching the C tube here uh so this
2:02
gives you a lot more tuning capability
2:05
and it gives that extra 5 m
2:08
travel talking of 5 mil the bottom
2:11
braacket is 5 mil lower and the main
2:13
pivot is 5 mil lower down as well it's
2:17
also 10 mil wider 5 mil aside uh to give
2:21
a stiffer uh
2:24
chassis for that shock to do its work we
2:27
have a uh number of different is again
2:31
looking at the the old version here
2:34
these bosses on the down tube are a lot
2:37
further for than they used to be uh
2:40
previous orange owners will know the
2:42
sensation of having your cables rub on
2:45
your knees as you climbing out the
2:46
saddle these are now way out the way and
2:49
there's uh no cable rubbing or anything
2:52
there because they're just shot out and
2:54
uh they work very well
2:57
and uh if you run your brakes the other
2:59
way around they uh these little plugs
3:02
will come out and you can just swap it
3:04
so so it should all be super neat
3:08
talking of super neat nice segue uh
3:11
we've got these new decals here which
3:13
are water slide transfers that are then
3:16
clear coated on so uh they're they're
3:19
applied then the onto the powder coat
3:22
then the frames powder coated in clear
3:24
as well so the frame also gets a bonus
3:27
coating of clear coat which should
3:29
protect should keep it looking shinier
3:31
for longer the uh orange logo is gone
3:36
orange figured that it's pretty obvious
3:38
it's an orange bike very few bikes look
3:40
like this so they've done away with that
3:43
because it was always struggling to fit
3:45
around the welds and everything down
3:47
here so there's just a subtle orange
3:50
logo there and I think no there isn't
3:53
even one on the back of the seat tube so
3:56
little orange logo there there's orange
3:57
five logo on the top tube and we've got
4:00
these little Fades on the uh on the
4:02
Chain
4:03
stays as a uh there are six colors plus
4:06
oranges uh uh bonus custom colors and
4:10
frame price is
4:12
£2,000 bikes complete bikes will start
4:15
