The new Switch 6 features a host of upgades and new features from the original MX wheeled trail bike we launched a few short years ago. Enduro and fast trail riders swear by its capability. Fast rolling, agile and forward thinking.
This new Switch 6 is a 160/160mm MX wheeled mountain bike for… well, just about anything. If you've followed Orange Factory Racing you'll know the guys used the original Switch 6 for their first year of the EWS, or if you've heard of Jack Carthy (10x trials world champion) you'll know its equally at home hopping, skipping and jumping over some of Yorkshire's most precarious rock structures. It's also the chosen daily driver for many a rider, used on their local trails or summer trips abroad.
So by changing it we had a lot to live up to. Luckily when it comes to a performance trail bike we're confident that we are safe hands.
