The Orange E4 is built in Halifax Yorkshire.
The E4 is their top of the range XC frame made from Easton 7005 aluminium. (Easton is an American tubing manufacturer & their tubing is well known as being one of the best available).
The frame is custom Butted (the tubes have a varying wall thickness along their length to maximise strength to weight ratio) & comes in at about 3lbs stripped.
The orange runs a bi-ovalized downtube & S-stays to maximise comfort, strength & also maximise mud clearance & enhance braking power.
This Frame is light & comfortable on a long run, the frame is forgiving in the rough stuff & is an excellent climber.
The paint finish on the Oranges is a powder coating which is resistant to chips & scratches, I took mine downhilling in the Alps for a week & came back with one chip under the Bottom Bracket. I also experienced no problems considering this is an XC bike with all lightweight gear, wheels, hubs etc which just goes to show the durability & strength of the bike even when used to it's extreme!
I would recommend this bike to anyone after a light XC or trial bike, the quality & build is second to none plus it's British built with an excellent warranty & if you do have a problem - you just ring them up and ask!!
(My Bike Setup: E4, Hope sus / Ti Glide on Mavic x517 Dt revoltion spokes, Marzochi Z3, All XT Kit)
