3 juicy new Orange e-Bikes to put some charge in your ride
Orange is moving fast in the e-MTB space and at Eurobike 2019 launched 2 new Orange e-Bikes and announced an update to the current Orange Charger.
One of the benefits of handing the design, manufacture, and finish of your bikes in-house is that you’re able to react quickly to market trends or component launches. So when Shimano came along with an updated internal 8035 battery, Orange we’re able to leap on it fairly quickly. And seeing the popularity in mullet bikes, they were able release bikes that benefit from mix wheel sizes too.
At Eurobike Orange had a total of 2 new Orange e-Bikes to show us, plus an update to the Orange Charger e-MTB that we reviewed just a few months ago. The new Orange E.P.O range now consists of the Orange Charger, Orange Surge 29, and Orange Phase along with the previously announced Surge 27.5.
The Orange Phase was a bit of a surprise for us at Eurobike. We had heard rumours of the new Surge 29, but the Phase was something we had no idea about.
Those of you who have already read about the new Orange Switch 6 know about Orange’s new mismatched wheel bikes, and the Phase is basically the Switch 6 with a Shimano motor and battery attached.
Carrying you over bumps, rocks and roots is a front 29er, while the rear of the bike uses an agile 27.5in wheel. The idea being the Phase will be able to charge and roll-over the big stuff, while retaining the playfulness and agility of smaller wheeled bike.
The Phase, like all of the Orange E.P.O bikes this year, uses a Shimano STEPS motor. Orange uses the E8000 motor for all of its full-suspension e-Bikes, and all bikes feature the more compact Shimano BT-E8035 internal battery.
