Eurobike 2011: MTB brand Orange unveils road bike

In a departure from its mountain bike roots, Orange is branching out into road and commuting bicycles (though anyone with a long memory will remember the company’s first foray into road cycling back in the 90s).

The Carb-O was born out of the fact that many Orange riders use road bikes for training. So they decided to try their hand at making their own.

The Yorkshire-based company will be manufacturing just 60 bikes to begin with, with a view to venturing further into the skinny-tyre market depending on interest from dealers and consumers.

This one model will cost £1900 and gets a complete Shimano 105 groupset and carbon fibre frame. Easton provide the cockpit components and wheels, while aesthetic highlights include internal cable routing and a tapered headtube.
