At a glance

The 2018 Orange Alpine 6 E Factory is a All Mountain and Enduro Aluminium / Alloy mountain bike. It is priced at €8,300 EUR, comes in a range of sizes, including S, M, L, has Fox suspension and a Shimano drivetrain. The bike is part of Orange's Alpine range of mountain bikes.

We’ve been closely watching e-bike components maturing since the very first prototypes. Our first thought was, if we’re going to do this we need to build what we would call a proper bike not a ‘concept’ piece for the show halls but a working, useable mountain bike for the terrain we ride. The E.P.O. program was born. Working with Shimano we based our design around the E-8000 pedal assist drive.

We like so many features of this unit. Standard MTB pedal Q-factor, zero drag and most importantly the fact that we do not have to compromise our geometry. The Alpine 6 E rides much like a standard Alpine 6, with extra ‘Vroooom’ on the ascents. We added 20mm to the wheelbase to keep the front down when climbing under power and to give more stability at speed.  The resulting bikes have been a revelation. Every test rider has come back raving about their experience on the bike and how it will bring a major new way of thinking for the sport.
