Why the Five S?

The Five S, is the entry level Five model. Great ride, great handling, great value.

Go "Pro" with high end model Five Pro If you want the best then see the SE model for the full monty package.

In a class of its own, the Orange Five is the All-Mountain trail burner that everyone wants in their shed. There’s hardly a day when pulling a Five out of the rack wouldn’t make sense. Built with the same mind-set that created the 224 and the Patriot, the Five is built to handle itself on the toughest terrain. Built light to skittle up climbs like a mountain goat, yet robust enough to descend with the sure-footed confidence of a much heavier bike.

A steadfast favourite in magazine tests, the performance star of the MBR Ultimate Trail Bike test, XC 24 hour solo champion under Team Mojo’s Paul Murrin, the Orange Five just gets better and better.

The Orange Five hasn’t been overlooked in the 2007 revamp. The brand new chassis has a new sleek folded downtube section increasing the weld strength at the head tube whilst simplifying the construction. A custom shaped and curved top tube provides some extra standover clearance, and the new CNCed shock mount brings extra strength and reliability to version 7 of the Ultra Lite Beam swing-arm.
