Product news: Product news: Orange 329 – downhill deluxe on 29 inches

January 22, 2019 by Florian Nowak

Product news: It's getting faster and faster! Whether it's racing against your friends or against the clock, every advantage must be exploited. That's exactly why the Orange 329 is the first 29er downhill bike to be even faster.

 

The Orange 329 used the know-how of the World Cup refined 327 chassis to create a 29er downhill bike for personal bests. The 329 was designed to be as close as possible to the 327 model. Thanks to the 29-inch wheels, even the toughest and roughest sections should now be easier to master and you can also take more momentum on the straights without losing handling in the corners. Because the goal when developing the Orange 329 was to construct a downhill bike designed for speed.



The through-the-down tube shock mount offers a 250mm large shock with 190mm of travel and the ability to position the pivot point exactly where needed to provide the small bump resistance and added access that discerning racers demand require. The frame's damping curve is a smooth ramp that simplifies setting up the rear shock. The 329 suspension also ensures easy handling.
