ORANGE BIKES
THE NEXT PHASE
Unless you have been living under a rock you’ll already know that E-MTB is both a staple of the bike industry and trail heads alike. There was once a time where they were in the minority, but over the last decade there has been a huge shift in peoples preferences. Riders have opted for assistance, opted for bigger days on the bike and ultimately opted for MORE, well, everything.
The evolution of the E-mtb has been incredible, bikes are almost unrecognisable by comparison to their original counterparts. Orange have been developing and manufacturing e-bikes for over a decade in our UK factory and with each iteration they have gotten better and better.
Our newest phase (sorry) of development has been focussed around our most popular model. The bike that exists within the Goldilocks principle, the bike that is right for, just about everyone. The Orange Phase.
The Phase is our newest E.P.O (Electric Powered Orange) model, with MX wheels, 160mm of travel front and rear, geometry to conquer the bike park and back country alike and now powered by Avinox!
The Phase will use the NEW Avinox M2S motor, providing 130Nm of torque with a max output of 150Nm in boost, along with 1300w power output, allowing you to conquer the steepest of terrain. All specs will have the Avinox 800Wh battery, DP100 display and a BC100 controller. Bikes will also be supplied with the Avinox 12A fast charger, which allows you to charge from 0-75% in 1.5 hours. Bringing a whole new level of performance to the E-bike market.
The frame fabrication of the Phase is founded on our iconic aircraft grade aluminium folded monocoque construction technique that we pride ourselves on. With state-of-the-art aluminium craftsmen who boast years of experience, we think that the frames we produce today are the very best we’ve ever made and indeed probably the finest in the world. Manufactured from flat sheets of aerospace grade aluminium into individually custom-fabricated tubes, then seam-welded for each specific application, working in harmony with CNC machined components from aluminium billet, all meticulously modelled and analysed. All produced, manufactured and assembled in the UK at our own facility. It means we have a product that’s strong, durable and fully recyclable at the end-of-life cycle.
Designed, manufactured and assembled right here in the UK means we have complete control from start to finish. The Phase now flaunts a new tube-set not only improving space within the front triangle and fine tuning frame compliance but also allowing us to mount the Avinox display in the top tube. We’ve also adjusted the frame sizing slightly making the seat-tubes shorter to better allow for longer dropper posts and fit an aluminium bash guard to keep your investment protected, you won’t find pieces of plastic here.
The Phase uses a 205×65 trunnion mount shock and has the ability to use a bearing eyelet at the shaft end to allow for the lowest break away force possible, keeping the suspension supple in even the choppiest of terrain. The frame is boost 148×12, uses a UDH gear hanger to ensure future proof compatibility and access to a gear hanger almost anywhere. Sticking with the rear, we’ve improved the asymmetrical rear triangle increasing vertical stiffness but still maintaining the lateral compliance we see as essential to grip.
SUSPENSION
The Phase uses a 205×65 trunnion mount shock producing 160mm of rear wheel travel. The Phase leverage ratio shows 14.78% progression, providing consistent support throughout the range of travel and delivering a composed and reliable feel.
GEOMETRY
Bike geometry has calmed down in recent years and the massive push for longer and longer seems to have found a sweet spot. We believe the geometry on the Phase is the ideal mix between descending prowess and all day comfort.
The Phase features a 64º head angle, 76º seat angle and 480mm reach in size large, the bike uses a reduced offset fork and a 448mm chainstay to keep a planted & surefooted feel but not compromising the bikes nimbleness.
SPEC & PRICING
The Phase will be available in 2 specs, RS and Factory. Both bikes will use the same Avinox M2S drive system. The RS bike will be available in either Fizzy Orange, Charcoal Grey or Back to the Fuchsia. The factory Bike will be available in the 8 custom colours offered by us.
