Key Quotes
Versatile, balanced, efficient and above all fast, the Orange Switch 7 SE is everything you want from an enduro race bike

For the first time in a long time, the new Orange bike is not a basic single pivot but instead a linkage driven one.
Pinkbike
The combination of suspension design, damper tuning and progressive geometry results in a frankly terrific ride.

If you want a ‘play bike’ for mucking about on steep wooded slopes it makes sense to go to West Yorkshire.

Feb 2020 · Paul Burwell

This is the brand new Orange Switch 6 trail bike, aka the mullet. As such, it has a 29in front and 27.5in rear wheel. 160mm fork with 145mm rear.

Highs
  • Superb RockShox front and rear suspension and bang up-to-date geometry

Lows
  • Rock-hard grips and that ugly QR seat collar
