Feb 2018 · Mick Kirkman

The Orange Alpine 6 E is their first foray into the e-bike market has yielded a motorised version of an old classic.

Highs
  • Normal geometry brings a natural ride quality and one of the shortest chainstays lengths of any e-bike

Lows
  • Most e-bikes deliver incredibly sensitive suspension, but the Alpine E feels a choppy over rough ground

Orange Alpine 6 E Factory Review

Nov 2017 · Trev Worsey

The iconic UK brand Orange dropped a 160 mm, hard-hitting beast of a bike. The Orange Alpine 6 E is here, and we have been riding it hard.

Review: Orange Alpine 6

Nov 2017 · Andrew Lee

We test out the Orange Alpine 6, a 160mm aggressive all mountain and enduro rig with a penchant for destruction. See how it stacked up inside!

Orange Alpine 6 S review

Jun 2017 · Seb Stott

A hooligan of a bike, but one with a ride character that divides opinion. Buy if you want a corner-carving British-made bruiser and don't mind slogging up the climbs and being bumped about in the rough

Highs
  • Relatively long and slack geometry is a blast in the turns

  • Surprisingly efficient under power

  • Customisable spec options

Lows
  • Lots of chain growth means a wooden, insensitive rear suspension feel in rough and steep terrain

  • Weighty and wallowy on seated climbs
