Orange PHASE 29 FACTORY Review

Shimano has become the biggest component manufacturer for bicycles thanks to its gear, pedal and brake components. It's clear that the Japanese want to shape the E-Bike trend from this dominant market position. 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 FACTORY with only an average range.

The outstanding chassis with 170 mm front and 155 mm rear boosts the confidence of every rider and lets them discover new speed realms in descents. 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. With its four pistons and larger brake rotors the Shimano braking system decelerates excellently. This allows you to maintain control over your own pace even in the steepest descents. Those who live for premium quality will love the transmission and parts of this EMTB. Here Orange cranks up the bling-bling factor to 11. The flat head tube angle and long wheelbase provide riding stability due to the 64° angle. For the very good geometry, the developer team of Orange definitely deserves props. Such a knack for detail in geometry is rarely seen.
