Classic Orange design in a small package
Built to the same exacting specifications as our iconic aluminium Clockwork frames, this is the all new, 26 inch wheeled, Zest. Designed for people who need a smaller fit, but still want the performance of a ‘proper’ mountain bike, the Zest offers the same ride characteristics we all love about Orange, sharp performance and confident handling.
The geometry on the Zest is bang up-to-date too, longer top-tube and shorter stem, with a long wheel base for stability.
The Zest frame features internal routing for a dropper seatpost, and neat external cable routing like the Clockwork Evo. Ripe for upgrades, but ready to rock straight from the box.
The Zest might be your first foray into the world of mountain biking, or you might be an experienced old hand looking for the right fit. Wherever you are within that range, the Zest is a sound choice of Orange.
