For 2022 Orange has launched the Alpine EVO with a slacker head angle, longer reach and 10mm less travel than the Alpine 6.
Jul 2021 · Andi Sykes
The Orange Alpine Evo is the latest development in the Alpine range, offering big travel capabilities in a lively trail-friendly package.
Apr 2019 · Jamie Darlow
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
