Orrin Details • Intended use: all-mountain/enduro • Travel: 160mm • Carbon fiber front and rear triangles • Designed for 650B wheels • Internal cable routing • Post mount rear brake • ISCG-05 chain guide tabs • 66° head angle • 428mm/16.8'' chain stay • Target weight: 5.3lb/2.4kg • Availability: TBA • MSRP: TBA | The February announcement that the Hutchinson United Ride team would be contesting the World Cup circuit aboard Polygon's Collosus downhill bike may have taken a few by surprise, but the Indonesian company is making a hard push into the high-end market with a lineup of smart looking bikes at competitive prices. Further proof comes in the form of two new carbon fiber prototypes that have been designed around 650B wheels: the 160mm travel Orrin shown here, and the lighter weight Karoo that uses a similar layout to offer 140mm of travel. While both are 2014 model year bikes that will have their official launch at this year's Eurobike tradeshow, Polygon was able to show us two frames that had come out of the mold only days earlier. |
Like a lot of bikes coming out these days, the Orrin will feature both a 12 x 142mm rear end and internal cable routing that will make for smooth lines while offering more protection. Removable inserts at the entry and exit points should allow for easy, fuss-free cable installation.
The 140mm travel Karro closely resembles its longer travel brother. In fact, it uses the exact same rear triangle. This won't be a warmed over trail bike, though, as ISCG-05 chain guide tabs and a 67 degree head angle are on the bike's fact sheet.

could be Ripley's bike
And weight
Wonder if it would be possible to ride one of these frames with a 26'wheels instead of the 650b ones...

No doubt it will be affordable when everyone else jack up the carbon frame price close to three grands..
Can wait to see it ride by Hutchinson Team and Polygon Factory Team
Looking forward to test/ride/own it...
But that is just my opinion...
64.5 degree HA. Its their mantra...on a dh-bike?
The rear stays are designed as you would see if you were to design with an aluminium cast. Wrong.
Linkage describes an arc although design intention was to go straight up for the first 5cm. Nice intention, thought nobody would notice, eh?
Why would you do weaker cantilever dropouts? A full triangle is much stiffer and stronger. Epic fail...
Why would you want a front derrailleur hanger on DH-bike? Ha Ha.
Why an unequal lenght wishbone suspension sharing the top bolt - the carbon there must be solid - or else...junky cheesy
Internal cable routing on a machine that needs a lot of servicing? Top
Lots of features none of them really meaningful. Essentially different for the sake of beeing different and not even good.
That`s why I hate asian bikeframes. They are an ugly mess.
This isn't a DH bike, it's an AM/Enduro frame.
You must have been blinded by hate when you read the article...
