Expirience with the Orange Alpine 6 Pro-Line

Ludwig Döhl Like all Orange bikes, the Alpine 6 Pro-Line is welded in England. The frame construction made of folded sheet metal instead of conventional tubes is revolutionary. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Alpine 6 Pro-Line. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The Orange Alpine 6 Pro-Line wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. In the price range under 8000 Euro, other manufacturers tend to install higher quality shifting systems. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent.
