In the immortal and unusually well-chosen words of Rebecca Black, it's Friday, and we're 'getting down' to the business of giving some delectable new bike gear the once-over.
The ravages of a week ill-spent may have taken their toll; you may be seven days older but none the wiser; but the bike industry trundles on, indifferent and monolithic. Bow before the altar of two-wheeled trickery, flagellate yourself with the dropper post of despondency, and feast your undeserving eyes on this tapestry of riches from BikeRadar's Bristol headquarters. Tremble, mortals, for 11spd is upon us, and we are not worthy.

Aside from the company’s 324 downhill rig, the Alpine 160 RS is the longest-travel mountain bike Orange produces; and no, there are no prizes for guessing how much suspension it has. In the same way a Porsche 911 should have its engine in the back, an Orange should be a single pivot, and of course it goes without saying that it’s made in Halifax, England.
Orange did all the hard work last year when it pushed the original Alpine 160 over to 650b wheels, and at the same time extended its geometry to go hand in hand with the short stems of today. This year, aside from a lick of fresh paint and some new complete build options, it’s very much business as usual, after all. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
£4000 as built, frame only from £1700 / $NA / AU$NA
