Orange Mountain Bikes - G2 Spec Sheet

From the 2012 Archive

Overview

Mountain biking is all about the spirit of adventure, pushing further as your riding and ability progress. The G-series range encourages this momentum, strong, light, comfortable and above all, reliable. Technology has surged since we started over 20 years ago, but it’s still about minimum fuss and maximum fun.

The G-series bikes use our custom butted 6061-T6 aluminium frame to create a lively ride which is both agile and compliant. Geometry remains balanced and surefooted with a position to promote efficiency and confidence wherever you’re riding. Wishbone seatstays are a nod to tradition, combining with reinforced chainstays for direct power transfer straight from the pedals. A post mount rear brake as the newest addition, the G-series frame keeps everything ahead of the curve.

Clean lines and classic Orange graphics finish a stunning centrepiece, with a carefully chosen component package to seal the G-series deal. Parts are chosen for reliability and performance; specced so you can concentrate on pushing your riding, not the bike. The G-series range has never done fads and gimmicks, it’s all about the trails, go explore…

Why the G3?

The G2 is a fantastic entry point into the Orange range, a well behaved bike designed to take you into the hills or on an urban commute. Featuring RockShox suspension and Shimano hydraulic brakes, it’s got everything you need to get the most out of riding. A great value performance mountain bike.

Wanting a similar frame but higher spec? Take a look at the G3. Alternatively, explore the steelier side of mountain biking with the cro-mo framed Pure7.
