SMILES FOR MILES
Sometimes it's tough to pigeonhole a bike into a certain category, Is it gravel? Is it a mountainbike? Is it a bike packing bike? We're not really sure, but we know it makes sense. Not everyone wants drop bars but having a fast fun bike capable of weekend adventures, trips to the pub or clocking up the miles can't be a bad thing. Use it as you will, but one thing is for sure the Speedwork is as versatile as it is fun.
WHAT MAKES THE SPEEDWORK STAND OUT
The Speedwork has a host of features that make this utility bike ready for anything. An aluminium frame with all the bosses you could possibly need, a carbon bladed fork to keep the rough smooth and 700x40c tyres to get that great mix between off-road confidence and pure road speed. Bolt thru axles and hydraulic brakes finish of a bike that is always ready for adventure.
MEET THE FAMILY
The Speedwork has solidified its place within the range at Orange over the few short years it has been apart of it. Ask anyone who has one which bike out of their quiver they ride the most and more often than not it'll be the Speedwork, when it's so easy to have one bike do so much it all of a sudden makes sense.

Do what we do well.
The one thing that never changes is that everything will always
change. Once you accept that, the rest is easy.
We’re not middle men, we’re not box shifters, we’re doing what we do to make mountain biking fun for anyone that wants to come aboard. Hand crafted, reliable, high-performance bicycles.
Increasingly we live in a global community, and for others nearly everything is sourced from anonymous factories from all over the world - the reason? Economics. Buy cheap, sell high. We design all our frames here in the UK. Nothing gets picked from a salesman’s catalogue.
ON top of that our high-end model’s frames are built from aircraft grade 6061 aluminium right here at our fabrication plant in Halifax (Elland), West Yorkshire. We know it’s not cheap, it’s not meant to be easier - but we think it’s the best. It’s no secret that we also have frame building partners in Taiwan, and we work only with the best people with relationships going from fathers to sons - they are part of the extended Orange family.
