Expirience with the Orange Switch 6 Team

Ludwig Döhl Like all Orange bikes, the Switch 6 Team is welded in England. The frame construction made of folded sheet metal instead of conventional tubes is revolutionary. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Orange Switch 6 Team. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Orange Fully. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. For 6000 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential.
