Check out the brand new Orange 324 as Jacob Dickson gives the redesigned monster a smashing down his tracks on the east coast of Ireland.

The Monster. Visually the bike is very similar to the 322, but when you’ve come this far with a design its the small changes that make the big differences.
The bike you are looking at is a custom version of the bike that will go into production, this bike has been custom built to team rider specifications, but the production bikes should be very similar to these if not the same. 63 degree head angle, 445mm chain stays, 150mm axle, 83mm BB, lower BB at 13.35″, 27.5″ wheels, and pivot points which have seen adjustments to make the suspension slightly less linear and more sensitive off the top.
Just to top off the new bling, this is the brand new livery design from Bell. Specially designed for the Orange Dirt World Team and complete with a matte finish, keep an eye out for these one off's on the race circuit. Chocolate digestives included.

They all look like very crude and heavy bikes but yet you see plenty of them about, so it makes me curious, what's so good about them?
I have one question, given the apparent dislike of oranges simplicity, do people think if sales were down, orange wouldn't have brought out something 'radical' and 'groundbreaking' by now?
For me Orange are doing their job properly.
more like the suckers will pay over the odds for a 15 year old design so we can save money on actually making something new
To be fair to Orange they are making prettier filing cabinets now
