Article Video: New Orange Surge

[Fivetones]

An evolution of the Alpine 6 E. Like the Alpine 6 and Five updates, a lot has changed but it’s subtle.

First Look: Orange Surge the latest E.P.O from Orange Bikes

Still not sure about the looks, nice to see a "cheaper" model in the line up

Shame they didn’t go for the new Shimano battery.

It’s very “Orange” I guess and that is a marmite look but I actually like that a lot.

Having tried the Alpine 6 E last weekend and loved every minute of it, I’ve got a Surge Factory on order in Sterling Silver now.

Yeah I agree. Though what they have is more streamlined now.

I have an Orange segment which I love, would have a Surge if I didn't already have an esommet

I could understand keeping the larger pack if it was going to allow a bigger capacity. If it remains the same it seems a missed opportunity.
You’d think with in house manufacturing they would be able to respond quickly to new equipment releases.

I like it. Looks very purposeful, like it could survive being dropped from several kilometres in the air.

If it’s put together half as well as my five it probably will ?

Having said that , it probably weighs in at about 50 kg ?

It’s around the 23kg level (well the 6 E was). The 6 E felt just as nimble as the Levo Comp Carbon I demoed over the same trails. I cancelled my Levo order to order the Surge ?

I like it. Looks decent. I didn't like the previous model but this one works..

What's the price point?

 

[R120]

5.5-7.5K

I will definitely demo one of these up at Tweedlove festival if they have them.

I have a soft spot for the industrial aesthetic, reminds me of the DH bikes back when I got into MTB. It reminds me of the Nox Hybrid, a small German brand who use Brose and have a 630wh battery, I love this raw finish

Nice vid. Spotted it was Rowan from his style straight away.
how long has he been on Orange bikes now?
gotta be 15 years+

As for the bike. No thanks.

In case you were wondering. The Surge and the Charger that was announced yesterday are effectively the same bike with different fork/shock configuration. (Yes, Orange confirmed this with me).
