2016 Orange 324 RS

[shake_rattle_and_ roll]

I think it looks great though, kept their signature lines, trimmed the fat and hopefully improved the ride. I'd ride it.

+2.

Acoustics aside it's the DH race bike I'd always quietly wanted. Simple radness.

Think I want one! All I can't see is it crying out for black frame, black boxxers, a vivid and some Deemax

Simple and it works. If its not broke, don't fix it.

Although, does sound like a filing cabinet coming down the hill.

that was the best Orange review I've heard

I'd happily rock the new 324 it looks mint especially with black boxxers contrasting the orange. If the younger riders don't want to buy them due to looks the older guys can ride
a frame we know works & works well.

I think you're right in saying about newbies or young'uns not knowing a good thing when they see it. The amount of comments we see on these forums about boutique/handmade bikes not getting credit for the manufacturers blood sweat and tears that goes into these things is insane. If you don't want something unique then go buy a glory or an operator or whatever your mummy can afford.

Personally I'd rock this thing with pride, it would make a rad race or play bike that would go forever. I think the aesthetics leave a little to be desired though, particularly the gusseting on the top tube/seat tube junction of the yellow bike and the head tube areas on all of them. A bit agricultural for my liking, just my two cents

It would be even better in British Racing Green!

Yup, looks steampunk enough to be an orange.

Just need someone in the next postcode to ride it so we can hear for sure....

 

[Ultra Lord]

Love it. Quiet bikes are overrated, if it really mattered everyone would be on rigid ss.

Always liked oranges attitude towards no nonsense bikes.

And after watching this I love both Guy Martin and orange even more.

Yeah there's bike noise and then there's a cement mixer full of bowling balls....at least you're not going to surprise a hiker


















In the next state.

Massive gut

Weight?........

Weight?........

Yep, there'll be plenty of that.

Ringing in my ears

Yep, there'll be plenty of that.

Noise decibel?

 

[Knuckles]

Noise decibel?

Not sure, but apparently there's a by-law saying you can't ride one before 7:30 am and 5:30 pm.........










The fishing is pretty poor tonight
