Aggressive geometry for confidence-inspiring rides
Improved suspension performance with more progressive feel
Enhanced pedaling efficiency over rough terrain
Lively and agile trail manners
Versatile for both climbing and downhill performance
Bottle mount placement susceptible to mud and debris
Some pedal kickback in rough and fast conditions
May feel less snappy during sprints due to lower anti-squat values
The new Alpine is a poppier bike than previous versions
MBRThe EVO is slightly more progressive to improve bottom-out resistance, but it's still quite close to linearPinkbike
If you’re after just one bike to do it all, then the Orange Alpine Evo could be the ticket.

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 · Finlay Anderson
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
