Summary
The Orange Alpine is a high-performance enduro bike that combines handcrafted quality with modern geometry and suspension performance. It's praised for its stability, confidence-inspiring ride, and improved pedal efficiency, though some note its slack seat angle affects climbing. The bike's suspension offers fantastic mid-stroke support and a bottomless feel, making it a blast on descents.

New version of the Orange Alpine 6, complete with improved cable routing and, wait for it, bottle cage bosses under the down tube.

The Orange Alpine 6 has undergone some important evolutionary changes for this 2019. Read on for our first ride review of the new 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!
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
Relatively long and slack geometry is a blast in the turns
Surprisingly efficient under power
Customisable spec options
Lots of chain growth means a wooden, insensitive rear suspension feel in rough and steep terrain
Weighty and wallowy on seated climbs
