Orange Stage 4 Factory
The original 120/110 mm Orange Segment reached cult status in the UK, wild enough to get you into trouble but confident enough to pull you back out. After the Stage 5 and 6 platforms successfully rekindled the Orange lineup this year, it’s no surprise to see the announcement of the shorter travel Stage 4. With 120/110 mm of travel from its single pivot suspension, it’s the bike for those who like the idea of a 29er Stage, but do not want to compromise on efficiency. The Factory model comes with a SRAM X01 Eagle 12 speed drivetrain, Hope components and the FOX 36 Factory Kashima Boost fork and FOX Float X2 shock.
While the new Stage 4 Factory has taken styling inspiration from it’s bigger hitting sibling, the Stage 6, the geometry has not changed too far from the numbers that made the Segment so popular, just a little stretched with a 67.5° head angle, 74.5° seat angle, reach of 461 mm and 435 mm chainstays (size large). In keeping with its fast and aggressive intentions the bottom bracket is a ground skimming 327 mm, a whopping -45 mm drop. We look forward to throwing one down a trail.
