Expirience with the Orange Stage EVO SE

Ludwig Döhl Like all Orange bikes, the Stage EVO SE is welded in England. The frame construction made of folded sheet metal instead of conventional tubes is revolutionary. If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the Orange Trailbike. The seating position of the on moderate to demanding trails moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. With the Trailbike of Orange, the real fun starts at the peak of the mountain. Because in the downhill, the tours with proper trails is better than the competitors in this price range.
