The Five Evo is exceptional. It outperforms longer travel bikes in a manner you wouldn’t believe. Orange Bikes are about geometry, and the Five Evo demonstrates how the new Evo geometry works to perfection. This is the 140/130 27.5-wheeled version. Bang on the money for rocky, twisty singletrack trails where surefooted maneuverability is your main priority. Its reactive response and composure are inspiring.

FRAME EVOLUTION
With a distinctive Orange Bike layout and profile, the Five Evo’s frame is fabricated in 6061-T6 Aluminium by the craftsmen at Orange’s Halifax-based Frame Works. Brand new tooling and jigs were specifically built and developed for these new models, leaving no stone unturned when it comes to new frames’ feature list.
The laterally stiff single-pivot platform is a format signature to Orange Bikes. Boasting more experience with this suspension system than any other bike company out there, Orange works closely with component manufacturers to achieve the perfect shock tunes for their frames. It’s a two-way street as the Orange Bikes’ single-pivot system is a perfectly clean platform for manufacturers to develop their shocks with too, So it’s a win-win situation for everyone.
The Evo frame has all the features you would expect from Orange Bikes, with a few added touches:
- The Evo’s offset asymmetric pivot gives scope to run various sizes of chainring or chain-lines (hey, you never know).
- The geometry is designed for a reduced offset fork which allows the cockpit to be lengthened and keep the rider’s weight balanced in the sweet spot, while making the most of the front wheel’s grip in turns.
- Small details like bottle bosses, cleaner cable routing and space for piggy-back shocks – even on a short travel platform, show we’ve been listening to our test riders’ feedback and implementing subtle changes that just make everything better.
