No sooner have we got a fresh Five built and off to the Alps, Orange release details of their next highly anticipated trail machine, the big wheeled Gyro. Following on from the release of a limited production run of Black and Gold Gyros earlier in the year, the 2013 production Gyro’s will be available in three models to suit all budgets. Here’s some info from our man in Halifax – “This sleek trail orientated 29er has had numerous positive “first look” reviews in the mainstream UK media with full tests just around the corner. Built on tried, tested and proven Orange chassis technology, adapted for big wheels and with 110mm of travel at the back and 120mm at the front, it’s designed for big days in the saddle and covering choppy terrain quickly and efficiently.

Aimed squarely at the rider who wants to cover ground quickly, the 110mm Gyro matches efficiency and balance to create a fast, but engaging ride. Every bit an Orange, from the trademark monocoque and custom butted 6061-T6 Reynolds tubing form an obvious lightweight silhouette. With its perfectly optimised pivot position, the suspension provides the same balance, sensitivity and reliability that make all our bikes ridiculously fun to ride.

The virtue of big wheels combined with angles from the masters of geometry. Sounds good doesn’t it? They’ve also added a third size to the mix, so you now can go Extra Large as well as Medium and Large so all you giants out there know where to come now! The two new models are:

Giro S – £2499.99

Giro Pro – £2999.99

Frames too…

As with all Oranges, they offer the rider who knows exactly what they want exactly that; a blank canvas on which to build their dream Gyro and getting creative with colours is pretty easy. Available in three sizes, in three standard colours (Jet Black, Passion Red, Cloud White), Maxle-only swingarm and the new Fox Evolution Series CTD shock. If your gagging for more, head on over to Orange Bikes.
