Why I will keep my Shova

I can't believe those muppets at MW did not update the Shova with a little longer RR, taper headtube, slightly slacker HA and a Thruaxel rear........even with 650B wheels it should have been easy enough for them to do!

and yes, I dont think Orange will change that design soon

If they were ever going to change at any point in the last decade they would have already.

That's proper old school single pivot. Stubborn. Morewood at least gooied a rocker or a linkage in their later models. The thing I like about orange's old downhill frames was that the rear travel was adjustable. Your eye to eye options in the rear were endless. You could decide between a rear travel and head angle tradeoff. Frames were made out of lead sure. But they lasted forever. They don't make frames like that anymore.

Also that alpine 160 of theirs looks just like an mbuzi
