Expirience with the Orange Alpine EVO SE

Ludwig Döhl Like all Orange bikes, the Alpine EVO SE is welded in England. The frame construction made of folded sheet metal instead of conventional tubes is revolutionary. The geometry is moderate and makes for a balanced handling. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. If a high-quality shifting system is particularly important to you, you probably will not be happy with the Alpine EVO SE. An important point at the end: The sporty orientation makes the Orange Fully a real mountain goat in the Enduros. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Orange Enduro sizing runs big.
