Avinox Orange Phase

[Ou812]

Looks like Orange is finally releasing some more on their Avinox bike.

Is that a single pivot rear like an old Marin from the late 90s? Also, stop with the trunnions please.

Aluminum single pivots are Orange's enitre thing baslically. It's what they are known for.

Ah of course, thought they might switch it up with the fancy new motor though.

Don’t forget sounding like a filing cabinet coming down the trails

And welds done by a blind orangutang with a drinking problem

800wh battery in these.

Personally, I think they are good bikes but the base “RS” build is £8,250.00. Makes the Atherton look cheap…

Happy Avinox Day

Phase x Avinox

The newest EPO (Electric Powered Orange), 160mm of travel front and rear and powered by Avinox.

Avinox M2S motor, providing 130Nm of torque with a max output of 150Nm in boost, along with 1300w power output.

All specs will have the Avinox 800Wh battery, DP100 display and a BC100 controller as well coming with an Avinox 12A fast charger, which allows you to charge from 0-75% in 90 minutes.

The frame fabrication of the Phase is founded on our iconic aircraft grade aluminium folded monocoque with boost spacing and future proof UDH dropout.

The Phase features a 64º head angle, 76º seat angle and 480mm reach in size large, the bike uses a reduced offset fork and a 448mm chainstay to keep a planted & surefooted feel but not compromising the bikes nimbleness.

The Phase Avinox comes in a Factory(£8750) and RS build(£8250).

To be fair to Orange, what did you expect it to look like?!

That battery in the downtube must be like;

 

[Freddy-mountain]

by the looks you get a lot of material for the $..

 

[Imanol]

by the looks you get a lot of material for the $..

the best material quantity/price ratio on the market

 

[MeatBike]

by the looks you get a lot of material for the $..

With Orange bikes you could probably make a whole other frame from all the excess material in the weld beads alone...

Those welds
I'm a rank amateur with aluminum, and could weld better than that by my third day with a tig.

Reminds me of a vid I saw by Dan Stanton. I think he said they stopped welding their frames in the UK because they couldn't match the quality of the welding by their Taiwanese partners. IMO people put far too much stock in the 'Made in [My Country]' label. There's nothing wrong with paying someone in Asia to do a better job, or the same job for less money. It's basically a win-win: we get better/cheaper bikes, and they get income that they typically need more than we do.

I assumed those were welded in the UK. Typical Taiwanese aluminum welding is a lot better than that.
Those look like they're being welded in someone's dirty garden shed by candlelight.

What do you mean by 'those'? The Orange frames? Dan Stanton is head of Stanton Bikes, so I was referring to Stanton frames, not Orange. Stanton used to have the option of frames made in UK vs made in Taiwan, and obviously the UK-welded ones were more expensive, but apparently it was hard to get the quality as high as the Taiwanese ones.

I was referring to orange. Never heard of Dan, I presumed he was associated with orange, hence your reference to him.
