Orange Stage Evo Pro Line Mountain Bike 2022 Matt Charcoal Grey
Description
Ultimately you will not believe this is a short-travel platform. Rapid, reactive and beautify balanced, the Evos defy logic. They are the Evolution of the trail bike as we know it.For those who love their wheels big, there's the Orange Stage EVO Pro Line. With a 29 wheelset it features equally radical geometry numbers, especially for a bike of its category. It majors on adaptability and as such shares the same Evo suspension progression to give our tuned shocks that wonderful bottomless feel. Which wheel size you opt for is a personal choice. If your local terrain brings you long climbs, big descents and teeth chattering root sections the 29er Stage Evo Pro Line is your perfect rig.Frame EvolutionInstantly, you can see the frames are Orange, with their distinctive layout and profiles. Fabricated in 6061-T6 Aluminium by the craftsmen in Halifax Frame Works Factory, Yorkshire. Brand new tooling and jigs were specifically built and developed for these new models, leaving no stone unturned when it comes to a 'new frames' feature list.The laterally stiff single-pivot platform is a format well known for Orange Mountain Bikes. Having more experience with this suspension system than any other bike company out there. For them, working with component manufacturers to achieve the perfect shock tunes for their frames is one of the most exciting aspects of the job. It’s a two-way street as the Orange single-pivot system is a perfectly clean platform for manufacturers to develop their shocks with too, So it’s a win-win situation for everyone.The Evo frames have all the features you would expect from Orange and a few touches you probably may not notice at first glance.To mention a few:The Evo’s offset asymmetric pivot gives us scope to run various sizes of chainring.The geometry is designed for a reduced offset fork which allows us to lengthen the cockpit and keep the riders weight balanced in the sweet spot, while making the most of the front wheel’s grip in turns.Small details like bottle bosses, cleaner cable routing and space for piggy-back shocks - even on a short travel-platform, show they've been listening to the test riders’ feedback and implementing subtle changes that just make everything better.The EVO Geometry ConceptThe thinking behind the Evo geometry on these models is to bring the feel and confidence of the big-travel enduro bike into the realm of the aggressive short-travel trail bike. With a lighter frame construction and audacious angles these bikes are truly eye-opening.The geometry has a familiar effective top tube length which means your cockpit is a comfortable space when climbing. Flip that gradient downwards, slam the dropper post and step-up out of the saddle to descend and the Evo comes into its own. The long reach gives the rider plenty of space to move around the bike, keeping the weight over the front wheel - this is also helped by the reduced offset fork.The slacker Evo head angle lets the fork do its job, right it in the firing line, and keeps everything stable with its long wheel base.The Orange Stage EVO Pro Line 2022 Features:Frame:6061-T6 Monocoque UK Formed Custom Aluminium Tubing, 29er, 120mm Travel.Fork: RockShox Pike Ultimate 130mm travel for 29er wheelsGro"
