A new bike from Orange…? Looks like the Patriot is finally here!

In their usual under-the-radar, keeping us guessing kind of way Orange have just leaked another new bike onto the interweb via Facebook.

Yep … it’s the all new, redesigned Orange Patriot which has been tested extensively by Joe Barnes over the last few months. 180mm travel, slackishangles and a wee bit more ‘downhill’ than the Alpine we’re thinking – aimed squarely at having a lot of fun! The bike was on display at Fort Bill and Orange reckon around £3000 for the base model in the line up.

Here’s the bike at Fort Bill, shot by the talented mr Duncan Philpott.

Here’s Joe testing the bike:
