SubZero FR
Why the SubZero FR?
The SubZero frame is the toughest hardtail Orange do, Designed to run a minimum of a 150mm fork, the FR model is the full-spec 'take-it all-in-its-stride bad boy. I hardcore hardtails are your thing. It doesn't get any better.

The all new 2007 SubZero is a radical evolution and at the same time a quiet revolution for hardtail singletrack riding. The original SubZero was without doubt one of the most revolutionary frames we have ever produced, a cult chassis for a legion of hard riding fans.
The new SubZero captures the spirit of its predecessor yet it also has a broader appeal by adding features to make it more suitable for the long-haul all-mountain rider.
In its new guise, the SubZero features revised geometry based on the Patriot’s ride characteristics. It’s designed to suit a fork with a 150mm to 170mm of travel, take big profile tyres without lifting the bars too high.
Square section chainstays deliver drive-train power, while new rounded section seat-says give the rider a degree more comfort on those long steep climbs. On descents, the SubZero’s freeriding pedigree shows in its confident tracking that allows the rider to stand up out of the saddle and really push the front into the trail, letting the tail-end chase the fork.
A rewarding bike for skilled riders, the SubZero will have you on the edge of your seat and keep the adrenalin pumping.
