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.

New version of the Orange Alpine 6, complete with improved cable routing and, wait for it, bottle cage bosses under the down tube.
Mar 2019 · Alex Evans
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
