I've had my Rockhopper for a couple of years and its been brilliant, but now I'm on the look out for a replacement.
I have looked at a few bikes, however one has really got my attention. The Orange Crush.
It looks like a great bike & I'm guessing that with the 140mm Fox forks up front it would easily take quite challenging terrain in its stride ( I know rider skill counts too
)
If you have ridden one or have one could you please tell me what you thought of it, just so I can have an opinion other thank MBUK.
Cheers!

The Rockhopper has been fine, faultless in fact Its the best bike I've had so far.
I'm not 100% committed to getting something new, I was only after a few opinions from others
The more I think about it the more I'd hate having to part with my hopper, especially after the cracking ride I had today ha!0 -
Hi mate i have an Orange Crush 2011 and its a great little play bike, i've ridden it up and down snowdon and took it to various trail centres this year, its a fairly hard hitting hard tail so you can throw it around a bit .. :-) I would definitely recommend one ..Yeti 575 2009

Which frame size do you have?
Was it fine to ride on 20 miles + routes?

My work mate has a Crush and thinks it's great. He uses it for all types of riding.

I'd love to get my hands on an Orange Crush, it's a bike I've lusted after for a good while! Out of my price range though sadly.
Bike Scene look to have the 15" and 17" in stock at the same price http://bikescene.co.uk/Orange-Crush-1772-31-0.html
Very nice, and a decent price. If they had the 17" in stock and were on the Cycle2Work scheme, I'd be snapping their hands off!supersonic wrote:0 -
Try one first though,
i owned an older one and found i really did not like the long travel hard tail set up. To me it felt imbalanced and unpleasent to ride. Now i'm on a 160 Dune R full sus. So have a go on a few and see if you enjoy the agro hardtail route as i don't think it is for everyone 0
