When it comes to swift but gnarly hardtails the Orange Crush line-up is the benchmark others aim for. The original aluminium hardcore hardtail gets a 2022 tune-up to keep it ahead of the game. The frame has gone through a couple of geometry adjustments and a few construction refinements. First, and most obvious, is the new one-piece chainstay yoke. It is forged for maximum toughness and provides improved lateral rigidity for pedalling performance, and leaves plenty of clearance for larger tyres, while giving the chainring plenty of space to breathe in muddy conditions.The new frame features a tapered headtube, giving us more weld area to add strength and provide more support for the lower headset bearing. Where others skimp on the bottom bracket shell, we belive the extra strength benefits of a 73mm width in this area pays back big-time of a hardtail that gets the thrashing we know a typical Crush will get.GENRE DEFINING GEOMETRYFor the new frame's geometry we've pulled things forward (seat-tube 75.5°) to place the rider in the perfect climbing position without that feeling that you are 'falling off the back'. We've slackened the front-end (headangle 63.5°) and stretched the wheelbase for stability, while keeping the reach roomy (480mm on a size Large). Coupled with the reduced offset forks we now spec, the rider's weight pitches perfectly in the attack position for more balanced weight distribution and lets the front wheel find grip and prevent front end wash-out. That's not happening here - getting that front tyre biting in and letting the bike flow is what the Crush is all about.There are plenty more details to admire on the new frame; a strong and secure bolt-through rear axle, new cnc-ed cable grommets that not only look great, but keep things tight when everything else around you is getting loose. Some neat new gusseting around the seat-stays add strength and confidence.This is one of the most significant updates to the Crush hardtail platform in years, in testing we've fallen in love with it all over again. It's not all about bouncy bikes, sometimes you just have to take the fight to the trail, and the new Crush takes it to another level.The Crush 29 follows the same philosophy as the Crush. Forward thinking geometry means this 29er version is every bit as solid a performer as its 27.5 wheel sibling. Also running a slack front-end (in this case a headangle at 64.5°), this is one fast rolling hardtail.
The Switch 7 – the Need for SpeedEnter the Switch 7 taking its name from our fun popular MX wheeled Switch 6 but going bigger faster and harder this bike is taking things a little more seriously. The aim with the Switch 7 was to produce a race bike to take everything we already knew with the addition of feedback from supported EWS racers and the newly established factory racing program and combine that to make a bike that's even more capable of competing at the sharp end of races on the toughest tracks in the world. The Switch 7 is a true representation of Orange Bikes’ capabilities in frame development and production. The frame and each individual component have seen extensive FEA analysis and 3D modelling to identify any potential issues and to optimise each structure to perform at its best. Of course we back all of this up with real-world prototype testing and have clocked up the miles amongst the test team Factory Racing team and a few riders who are known for being hard on bikes validating the computer analysis and giving us the confidence in the design. FEA has been used for for both deflection and fatigue to fine tune the frame's elements for strength and optimal compliance. Although the frame silhouette is still very intentionally that of an Orange a great deal has changed but also much remains the same. This is a completely UK made frame manufactured by the hands of craftsmen with decades of experience from flat sheets of aerospace grade aluminium to individually custom-fabricated tubes seam-welded for each specific purpose working in harmony with CNCed components from aluminium billet meticulously modelled and analysed. This all produces an aluminium frame with a weight less than that of many ‘carbon’ frames in its category. It also means we have a product that's strong durable and fully recyclable at the end-of-life cycle.

The Orbea Rallon M20 Mountain Bike was forged on the racecourse and is the obvious choice of the EWS race team, but Rallon is always ready for fun outside of the tape and loves fast laps with friends, high-5 s and near misses. Fearless, Rallon is up for hitting the biggest gaps in the park, smashing berms, and scorning braking bumps. Forget limits, forget distractions, just focus on fast.Frame - Orbea Monocoque Race Carbon. Advanced Dynamics 160mm suspension technology. 29" wheels. Concentric Boost 12x148 rear axle. Pure Enduro geometry. Internal cable routing. ISCG05Shock - Fox FLOAT X Performance 2-Position Evol LV custom tune 230x60mmFork - Fox 38 Float Performance 170 Grip 3-Position QR15x110Drivetrain Shimano SLX 12-Speed / Race Face CranksetBrakes - Shimano M6120 Hydraulic DiscEvolved Design: Enduro racing has evolved with more aggressive tracks and the Rallon has evolved too. Longer and slacker than ever, Rallon also has more stand over to give more choice over frame sizing.Longer, Lower and Slacker: Head angle slackens to 64o or 64.5o, reach grows 30mm on the large frame, chain stays grow 5mm and the BB drop is 3mm lower. When you get a chance to ride the Rallon you will notice it s stability straight away, with natural cornering and confidence at speed.Low Stand over: The seat tube is uninterrupted and also shorter, giving lower stand over than ever. The Rallon is designed to work with 200mm dropper posts.Steep Seat Angle: The seat tube is 2o steeper helping improve pedalling position and stability on climbs as well as working better with long dropper posts.Adjustable: Rallon continues with its Low and Lower positions which riders love.Steep And Deep: When things get steep you want to drop your saddle deep out of the way and just focus on fast! More space to move your body means more control and more control means more speed. But low saddles mean long droppers which need short seat tubes. The trick is achieving this without affecting either seat post insertion or frame geometry. With its steep seat tube and deep insertion Rallon has one of the lowest stand overs around, meaning lots of space for your choice of long travel dropper posts. Get that saddle right out of the way when things get steep and deep, long travel droppers are the only way.Rallon is available in four sizes, S, M, L and XL, and thanks to Steep and Deep you can pick between sizes to get your preferred reach. Choose a larger size to maximise stability or go with a smaller size for a more playful Rallon. Most riders will be able to pick between two or three sizes and will be able to fit a 200mm dropper post.Party Out Back: Interested in sporting a mullet with your new Rallon Choose 27.5" or 29" rear wheels without affecting geometry using the two included shock extenders. Focus on fast with 29" or focus on fun with 27", whatever you choose the Rallon has you covered.Lockr Frame Storage: Leave your pack at home and just focus on fast! Rallon is packed with clever storage spaces for all the essential tools and water you need for shorter rides or enduro races. The full sized water bottle is easy to reach. Pack-less runs are fast and fun.In the downtube LOCKR zone we have two sealed bags, with tube, tyre levers and space for two C02 cartridges. Additionally, the main pivot and rear axle are filled with cleverly designed tools, held securely with magnets. With a tube, tyre repair, tube, hex keys from 3 to 6mm and a T25, all held securely in space, Rallon is fully equipped.Focus On Fast: Racing is all about focus and you don t need to be distracted by the noise your bike is making. The only noise you want to hear is the crowd cheering. The Rallon uses custom co-moulded plastic protectors to shield the frame from impacts and remove chain noise. Cable noise is eliminated using internal cable guides, improved silicon plugs at the frame entry and exit points and clever conduits linking the front and rear triangle. This attention to the details means you can focus on just riding fast.Precision Tracking: Frame rigidity affects feel and grip and it is possible to have a frame which is too stiff to track the terrain efficiently. Manipulating the carbon weave allows us to control flexibility without sacrificing strength, giving a perfectly balanced front and rear triangle stiffness. A lot of technology, modelling and testing which translates to confidence and grip on rough cambered terrain and valuable fractions in race runs.Fully Sealed Bearings: Everyone hates changing bearings. Normally bearings fail due to being dirty, not overloaded, and with Rallon we have worked hard to seal all the bearings. Clean bearings last longer and also keep the suspension working optimally when the conditions are filthy.Suspension: Totally revised suspension kinematics give a more progressive suspension curve with a more rearward axle path which, combined with 160mm of rear travel is hard to beat; fast and agile in the turns with plenty of control and traction in the rough. Add the beefy Fox 38 fork and Rallon is ready for whatever you have in mind.Gravity Oriented KinematicsLinear Progressive 22-33%: A high starting leverage rate gives a plush and active feel combined with terrific traction. A progressive curve controls the bike in full-travel situations - the inevitable big hits that come along with pointing a capable bike down a rocky trail.Improved Axel Path: A more forward pivot point increases the backwards component of the axel path, particularly in the first part of the travel. The Rallon floats through square hits with ease, maintaining speed and minimising fatigue.Braking and Pedalling Characteristics: Anti-rise and anti-squat are kept largely the same because our racers love the way the bike remains active under braking and sprints out of slower speed turns.Size Chart:

Some riders use them to climb thousands of metres on huge rides, others weave in and out of bike parks and jumps during their daily adventures. The Occam is available with either a 140mm Fox 34 or 150mm Fox 36 so that you can ride the way you like.Trail Geometry:Slacker Head Angle - Greater stabilityLower Bottom Bracket - Corners naturallyLonger Wheelbase - Stability at high speedsSteep Seat Angle - Proper pedalling positionShort Seat Tube - For longer dropper postsAsymmetry & Strength: The right side support strengthens and stiffens a high-stress area. Instead of using a less efficient 'shock tunnel', Occam design offsets the shock to the left side of the frame. allowing the asymmetrical support to follow a more direct path. Straight line that closely follows the shock mounting is the most efficient way to neutralise suspension forces on the front triangle.Asymmetry - Ergonomics & Balance: The asymmetric/offset design offers unique advantages beyond stiffness and low weight. The shock is mounted in a position offers incredibly easy access to damper controls and the tidy design leaves room for a bottle with easy left-side access.Size Chart:

AIM FOR THE TOPOiz is familiar with the hard work it takes to reach summits, leaderboards and podium steps. We don’t need to fabricate a pedigree for this phenomenon - two world championships prove Oiz is a thoroughbred. Oiz and serious cross-country are synonymous, its presence on the World Cup is undeniable. Is the lightest, stiffest and most efficient machine available whether you pin on a number or take it up to the highest peak on your afternoon ride. Oiz has what you need to get there - there is no better weapon to aim for the top.Oiz has been designed for fast and experienced riders who demand a super light and efficient bike that offers reliable suspension in technical XC racing and high performance in cross country racing.
ARE YOU THIS RIDER?Do your friends ask if you intend to ride the chairlift when you invite them out for a ‘few’ park laps? Do your top routes frequently involve pushing up and down trails that aren’t on any map? Do your favorite rides begin or end with headlamps, an ice chest and great friends? Does your bike have to do everything well to get you there and back again? If you think you might be this rider, then Occam should be your bike.LINKAGE UPDATEOccam uses a new two-part linkage design. Fewer pieces mean fewer interfaces, greater rigidity and a lower chance of something working loose.ASYMMETRICAL DESIGNInstead of using a less-efficient "shock tunnel," the Occam offsets the shock to the left side of the frame.YOUR SUSPENSION, YOUR WAYThe best modern trail bikes are used for an impressive variety of terrain and need to be adaptable. OCCAM is designed to work well with 140mm or 150mm front and rear travel and the progressive rear suspension works well with either an air or a coil shock.
