Summary
The Orange Crush is a versatile enduro bike that combines modern geometry with a durable alloy frame, offering a stable and fast ride on descents while remaining a capable climber. Its slack head angle and 150mm travel fork enhance handling, making it a fun and aggressive choice for riders. However, some models lack a dropper post and the rear end's lack of Boost spacing complicates wheel upgrades.
Modernized geometry with longer top tubes and shorter stems
Stable and fast on descents due to increased travel and low slung bottom bracket

Slack head angle, 150mm travel fork, and short chainstays enhance handling
Budget friendly with durable, cost effective spec
Not a flyweight cross country machine
Lacks a dropper post in some models

It’s been a few decades since Orange moved out of a shed in Halifax and the Orange Crush may not seems as niche as the other bikes on test but we just couldn’t ignore the heritage of one of the original hardcore hardtails. This bike is part of a group test: The best hardcore hardtail […]

Revised specification and pricing within the Crush range makes the Crush Pro £2K, but the entry-level Crush S has also been upgraded to fill the void.
No nonsense hardtail with a soft side.
Brakes aren’t compatible with sintered pads.

The Orange Crush S is a budget friendly long travel 150mm hardtail mountain bike that's ready to rip down the trail. Read our review & get ready to ride!

Seriously tough frame and kit with ‘slack, stretched and slammed’ hero geometry for flat-out fun. Buy if you want a robust, good-value and stable bike for ragging around the trails
Bang-up-to-date long, low and laidback aggro geometry
Tough and accurate but not overly brutal ride character
Burlier 2017 fork and tyre spec open up full-gas potential
Complete bike steering doesn’t feel quite as slack and stable as the geometry would suggest
