Five Pro-Line - 2016

Best bang for buck performance of a Five model to date.

Based on the Pro spec, we've bumped up the the fork to the 140mm RockShox Pike RCT3 fork, adding the RockShox Monarch RT3 Debonair rear shock and a KS Lev 125mm dropper post. A performance package that's chomping at the bit to hit some gnarly trails. 

Simply put, it's the Pro spec, plus the 140mm Pike fork upgrade you've all been asking for. And it's available from the 1st of July 2016 while stocks last.

Oh and the price? You might be surprised to know that RRP will be the same as the standard Five Pro at £2800. 

That's right £2800. So what's the catch? This model will be strictly limited in availability and are on a first come, first served basis. So get in quick. And, we're sorry, but it will be available to UK customers only. 

And one last thing. As we have frames painted and in stock, if you want a custom colour and it's one we have, that will also be included in the price.

The Orange constant, trail bike brilliance.

While we have a full range of models from 700C urban whippets right through to World Cup downhill monsters, every one with Orange Bikes DNA, there is one bike that many people see as our defining icon; the category defying Orange Five.

It is no secret that it is our best selling model, and it wears that crown for a reason. When push comes to shove the Orange Five will step up to the mark in just about any situation. To tip our hats to an old fairytale, it's the Goldilocks bike in our line-up. Not too big, not too small, for people in the know (and even those who are not) it is 'just right'.

With this new version, by comparison to the previous incarnations, it's a little longer (10 mm to be precise), a little stiffer (15% to be exact), a little slacker (0.5° to be accurate) but overall it is still undeniably a Five, it always will be. Still 140 mm of travel, still handbuilt in Britain, still single-pivot reliable, still loads of fun out on the trail.

The new refinements bring a longer wheelbase, improving climbing capability, reducing the front's urge to lift on steep ascents, and makes an already benchmark descender even more sure-footed and confident. A new lighter shock mount has been designed to improve stress dispersal through the downtube. Not that we had a problem there really, it's always good when we can make things a little better. 

Built to go anywhere and back. Since we we launched the first Five over ten years ago we have had a failure rate of just 0.47%. That's not a made up statistic, we checked our records to be sure. It means the five year warranty we provide is rarely called upon.

There are three basic model packs available, Five Pro, Five RS and the new Five Factory. Each with a plethora of custom options to built the perfect version for you. What are you waiting for?
