The 224 chassis is the pinnacle of Orange DH bike design, now entering its second full year of production. Already a World Cup race winning thoroughbred, in 2006 the 224 notched up its first UCI World Championship piloted by Australian Tracey Hannah. Adding to the Junior European Championship and Overall Junior UCI World Cup Championship that Team Orange’s Brendan Fairclough brought home.
If it’s that good, then don’t change anything you might think. At Orange we always think we can go that extra step and improve an already fantastic chassis. For 2007 we have reworked the internal butting in the head tube gusset to improve strength and precision in this vital area. The swing arm’s shock mount is now precision CNC machined from 6061 billet, dissipating the massive forces away from this crucial area also improving reliability.
The 224’s sliding shock mount adjustable geometry feature is loved by racers and freeriders alike, making it a simple task to tune the set-up to perfection, even ‘on-the-trail’ when need be.
The low ‘sweet-spot’ pivot point keeps the 224 active and lively, rippling over the stutter bumps and soaking up the big hits when it matters most. Pedal-abilty is optimum with a minimum of feedback for such a big travel bike, snapping out of turns has never been so easy.
The results speak for themselves, this is the fastest accelerating, hardest hitting, biggest grin delivering Orange bike right here, accept no substitute.
