What hasn’t been said about Orange’s simple single pivot design? Over many years it has been well and truly proven, and short of reeling off the usual list of superlatives you can rest safe in the knowledge that the 224 has been used as the benchmark for our bike tests for four years. Many bikes have copied, but none have refined it to quite such a degree of perfection as the 224. Orange don’t make rash decisions when developing new ideas for their models and this classic and highly refined design will take some beating.
