Orange says
What can we say about the 22X series that hasn t already been said by a string of world champions, hundreds of privateer racers and a seriously enthusiastic biking press? It s simple just like its legendary predecessors, the 224-evolution is designed and built for off-the-peg downhill speed and competition victory at every level. At the heart of the 224-evolution lies massively stiff but lightweight front and rear ends, joined by our famously reliable and slop-free oversized single-pivot assembly. A wide axle clamp area enhances already phenomenal tracking, while the 224-evolution s eccentric headtube system and adjustable shock mount enable independent tweaking of the bike s head angle, wheelbase and bottom bracket height perfect for individual riding styles or terrain and gradients that change from course to course. The end result is breathtaking a super-plush, super-stiff yet highly manoeuvrable DH bike, equally at home on the international and domestic race circuits or pinning it just for fun. But don t take our word for it take a look around and believe what you see.
