Stage 6 - spec - Features

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.
