Orange PHASE 29 AXS Review

Shimano motors remain at the top of the engine popularity alongside Bosch motors. No wonder, as evidenced by EP801. Even nasty steep sections are effortlessly climbed by the motor. The Shimano EP801 conveys a riding feeling. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the PHASE 29 AXS with only an average range.

The golden shine Fox chassis can certainly be described as outstanding. With its absorption qualities, it can easily absorb rough shocks in descents and provide calm behind the handlebars. Setup-Nerds can squeeze out the maximum performance from the chassis thanks to the many setting options. The thick 38mm stanchions on the fork provide an extra dose of steering precision and performance. Thanks to the solid power, the SRAM brakes can be counted on in the upper class segment. With four pistons and 200 millimeter rotors , Orange won't take any chances in that area. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Orange leaves almost no wishes open and only uses top-notch parts. The combination of a slack head tube angle and tendentially long wheelbase makes the PHASE 29 AXS remain steady even at higher speeds. For the very good geometry, the developer team of Orange definitely deserves props. Such a knack for detail in geometry is rarely seen.
