2020 Orange 329 Downhill Enduro Bike 29 (Torque Stage 6)

Hi

Here we have a bike that I built up specifically to race in the Megavalanche last year but due to the Covid we didn't go and since then have changed plans.


The special thing about it is that is uses a DH frame but has a dropper and wide range cassette so it goes uphill too - it really does! Its not an XC bike by any means but you can cover most of the up and just get off to push at the really steep bits, it makes it so much more usable than a dedicated DH bike with their tiny cassette and fixed saddle.


This type of bike will become more popular, you can see the Orange factory team are using them - check out Joe Connell's bike on Pinkbike.

Or if you want to go full on DH that is fine just remove the dropper and swap the cassette its that easy.



So to the spec:


Rockshox Boxxer Ultimate 29 Forks with box - the best you can get.

Orange 329 frame in XL but its not a more a L/XL really with a 490mm reach.

Shimano Saint BB

In terms of use it literally has only been used 6 times since being built and never been crashed. It is pretty much mint. The casstte and cranks were used before going on this bike and that is why they are showing a bit of wear but the rest is literally 6 rides old so you are pretty much getting a new bike!!


Get ahead of the curve this is the way enduro is going, especially the steep gnarly events!


Or use for full on DH you have the choice its an easy conversion...
