• Big-T
• Frame Only
• Geometry

The Orange Big-T is ultimately built to take on the roughest trails, it’s the tough guy’s freeride bike that’ll tame insane back country terrain, and deal with seemingly impossibly tight and technical sections.

The ‘big’ feature of the Big-T’s chassis is the One‑Point‑Five head tube that allows the use of a long-travel single crown fork. Triple clamp performance with single crown agility is high on the feature checklist.

The 224’s extensive internal head tube butting gussets also features on the Big-T, providing even more strength and steering precision. The geometric monocoque folded frame sections make the chassis’ construction extremely laterally rigid, and the bolt through swing arm now features the Rock Shox Maxle 360 quick-release for tool-free 12mm bolt-through wheel removal.

The Big-T is a special bike, in owning one you become one of a very select band of brothers (or sisters).

What’s the deal with the
One-Point-Five head tube?

Basically, it provides a dramatic increase in both stiffness and strength with minimal weight gains. The increased diameter improves control, steering precision and component durability. Using Orange monocoque frame construction technology with a One-Point-Five head tube enables us to make the strongest Downtube/Head tube joint in the industry.

Frankly, in use, it’s a revelation. You won’t believe that you’re not riding a triple clamp fork, until you come to that gnarly technical switchback, dropping down a few rock steps. Where you’ll run out of steering lock with triple clamps, a burly single crown cleans it, leaving those big hitting forks to soak up the bumps as you blast down to the next one.
