Summary
The Orange Alpine is a high-performance enduro bike that combines handcrafted quality with modern geometry and suspension performance. It excels in descending with a stable, confident ride and bottomless suspension feel, though it may sacrifice some agility on flatter trails. While it's praised for its improvements in geometry and suspension, some reviews note compromises in climbing efficiency and component choices.

The fully refreshed Alpine has the same silhouette as the outgoing model and retains its lively ride
Improved cable routing, more modern geometry and addition of bottle cage mounts
Bottle cage mounts are on the bottom of the downtube and the bike isn't especially forgiving

With larger, 650b wheels, the new Orange Alpine 160 has been given a sizing reboot.
Stretched out sizing and the fact you won’t spend your winters in the workshop
It’s 1kg too heavy, and the rear shock tune isn’t sorted
