Hairy Posted October 29, 2014 Share Don't like the look of Orange bikes, at all. That Yeti on the other hand...Orange bikes are a bit more old school in frame tube selection / design and leaning more towards the industrial look ..... kind of works for me over some of the more overly complicated frames. They are kind of like the old Morewoods (Think Shova and Mbuzi) with very hard and functional lines. Bizkit031, pierre- and nickelass 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes the Giant Reign 2 look crappy at $3400... Are these available in SA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fantana Posted October 29, 2014 Share I love them. Simple. Effective. +1. In addition to that, one must remember that Orange is a UK based brand, and the designers are trail riders themselves. After a year or two of UK trail riding, nice lines and elaborate suspension designs will fly straight out the window, and reliability, simplicity and mud-proof components will become you top priorities.

Ryanpmb Posted October 30, 2014 Share Have spend a couple of weeks on the One-Forty and was very impressed. They have finally sorted geometry on these bkes with good kit and great value for money. If they can get over the "it's a Merida" problem they will do VERY well. They should speak to Giant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanpmb Posted October 30, 2014 Share The Giant is great value for money, so why don't you get the Reign, and with the change get Bird Zero (4.5 out of 5) : http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/gear/category/frames/mountain-bike/product/review-bird-zero-15-48937/ http://www.birdmtb.com/zero-hardtail/ http://www.birdmtb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/cropped14a.jpg http://www.birdmtb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/cropped23.jpg Yes please...

Would like to try out the one forty and see what has been done with the brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
