Orange Switch 7 SE Mountain Bike 2022 - Enduro Full Suspension MTB

The Orange Switch 7 is a mixed wheeled enduro MTB with 170mm travel front and rear. Taking its name from our fun, popular mixed wheeled Switch 6 but going bigger, faster, and harder, this bike is taking things a little more seriously. Although the frame silhouette is still very intentionally that of an Orange mountain bike, a great deal has changed, but also much remains the same.

The Switch 7 is a true representation of Orange Bikes’ capabilities in frame development and production. The frame and each individual component have seen extensive FEA analysis and 3D modelling to identify any potential issues and to optimise each structure to perform at its best. Of course, we back all of this up with real-world prototype testing and have clocked up the miles amongst the test team, Factory Racing team and a few riders who are known for being hard on bikes, validating the computer analysis and giving us the confidence in the design.

Manufactured from flat sheets of aerospace grade aluminium to individually custom-fabricated tubes, seam-welded working in harmony with CNCed components from aluminium billet meticulously modelled and analysed. This all produces an aluminium frame with a weight less than that of many ‘carbon’ frames in its category. It also means we have a product that's strong, durable and fully recyclable at the end-of-life cycle. This is a completely UK made frame, with a 5 year frame warranty with Limited Lifetime Crash Replacement.

Racing has been a part of our culture since Orange’s inception, the hunger to compete and challenge ourselves has always been part of the company’s ethos from day one. The new Switch 7 was born out of a need simply to go faster on the race track! It uses a link-driven trunnion shock, mounted low in the frame helping to lower the bike's centre of gravity and allow for a more neutral weight distribution whilst riding.

The frame is covered in features not previously seen on our bikes and are the result of meticulous analysis and testing. The Switch 7 sports a 49/56 ZS headtube, this has helped improve both strength and stiffness at the front end of the bike, increase the surface area for welding between head tube, down tube and top tube as well giving us enough room to drop the downtube slightly to allow for a water bottle in the front triangle. To make access even easier new tooling was produced to create a recess on the top side of the down tube. The bike also uses a UDH gear hanger incorporating SRAM’s new industry standard and allowing a spare to be bought at nearly every bike shop on the planet.

Throughout the design process we were conscious of our reputation for low maintenance bikes. We made every effort to conceal the majority of our bearings within the front of the swingarm, out of harm's way and safe from jet-washers.

Bikes will come with a 5 year bearing warranty for the original owner and any original owners outside of that period will receive heavily subsidised pricing.
