Bringing one of our favourite frames bang-up-to-date, the 2025 Stage 6 features our latest frame details in a brand new chassis.
When the only thing that matters is flat-out performance, the new Stage 6 nails it. Redefining the typical terrain of the 29er, this is a bike made for riding hard and racing the best in the world, anywhere in the world.
The new Stage 6 frame uses a 205x57.5 trunnion shock alongside revised upper & lower shock mounts, now allows for a bearing eyelet to be used. This has been done to achieve a lower break away force, providing incredible sensitivity to the initial part of the shock's stroke, while maintaining our signature feel.
The layout of the new Stage 6 frame has also seen major revisions, the inclusion of Orange's S.A.F.E. (Stores Accessories Food & Equipment) should mean you don't have to strap so much to the outside of your bike, you can keep it hidden and readily available. More room has been created to fit a larger water bottle inside the front triangle to keep you hydrated on those longer days in the saddle. We've added our new tapered head tube to improve stiffness and increase strength and we've also revised our sizing with shorter seat tube lengths to allow for longer dropper posts.
Technology developed on our most recent bikes also appears, it has an asymmetrical swingarm, this allowed us to increase the bike's vertical stiffness whilst tuning its lateral compliance, producing a bike with a direct feel under power but still maintaining buckets of grip.
It’s simple: just when you’d got your head around the natural habitat of 29ers, the Stage 6 explodes it. This bike rewards skill and confidence, and that’s why guides and racers love it. If you’re ready for the ride of your life, step up now.

Please note: This is for guidance only. You may be taller or shorter, it doesn't mean our bikes will not fit you. The best way to determine the correct bike size for you is to try one. We've added some more explanation on sizing theory here: What size frame do I need?
There’s no quirky characteristics or things to get used to… it feels pinned and ‘just right’ from the get go. It’s also surprisingly light compared to the other bikes. You’d expect a big, alloy bike to be a bit of a chubber but the Orange is easily the lightest bike I’ve ridden in a good while.
Wideopen MagThis bike is one fun loving animal. It accelerates like a bat out hell, holds lines straight, even through disgusting choppy ground, and has enough mid-stroke and bottom out resistance to provide an excellently precise and speedy cornering experience without reaching the end of its travel too hastily on big, harsh hits.
PinkbikePoint the bike downhill and that peppy and poppy ride is still there. While this is in part down to the bike’s suspension having good levels of support (thanks to the anti-squat), the frame’s aluminium construction and single pivot layout makes it feel like you’re riding a taut rubber band that you can flick and flex around turns and through holes.
Bike RadarIn our testing the Stage 6 effortlessly chewed up and spat out many more expensive carbon rivals.
Enduro MTBWe think the best way to find out what an Orange Bike really has to offer is to ride one. So don't just take our word for it, get out there and give one a go.
Sadly it looks like none of our dealers have this model in stock as a demo bike. However, you can find your nearest dealer and they can request one to be sent to them from our demo fleet.
