Orange has given us a glimpse of an unreleased late-stage prototype Patriot eMTB equipped with Avinox's powerful M2S motor and featuring 175mm of rear-wheel travel. The Patriot prototype, which shares a similar brutalist design to the Bosch-equipped model released a couple of years ago, is said to feature a refined tube profile and geometry. It was on show at Eurobike 2026. The head angle has shifted from an already slack 63 degrees to 62.5 degrees, with the seat tube angle steepening to 78 degrees from 76 degrees to assist with climbing. Up front, the bike features an older Fox Factory 38 fork with 180mm of travel, while a new Factory Float X2 shock sits in the frame. It looks as though the bike still uses Orange's Strange Power Link, which gave the previous bike a progressive shock curve so we expect coils to be compatible with the new bike. The final bike will be "basically as pictured" when it launches, according to Orange. Nick Clark / Our Media MX, or mullet wheels, are used, with no option to run a 29in setup. Avinox's M2S motor powers the bike, providing 150Nm of torque and 1,500W of peak power. An 800Wh battery is stored in the down tube. Orange also displayed a 32in Clockwork frame at Eurobike. Nick Clark / Our Media Alongside the new Patriot, Orange displayed a 32in Clockwork that appears to have ambitions to be a cross-country bike or gravel bike. Strange is Orange's Special Technology Range. Nick Clark / Our Media The bike features a colourway that's a throwback to earlier Orange models and appears to have a 64.5-degree head angle, according to the mock-up blueprints on the Orange stand at Eurobike. There doesn't seem to be huge clearance between the rear tyre and the seat tube. Nick Clark / Our Media While Orange couldn't say when we should expect the Strange bike, the Patriot will be available at Factory spec level in early September, priced at 9,500 / $12,500 / 11,000.
