Orange E4 - did they get disk mounts?

Hi chapskis,
Did Orange ever do the E4 with diskmounts?
I know they put diskmounts on the P7 in '99 - the Evo2 had them in '98

I have this irrational urge to try a disky Orange HT .

Hi Carge
To the best of my knowledge they didn't, but nformation about ANY Orange model is next to impossible to obtain from the internet.
The factory told me it was a result of 'hacking', but could not tell me if or when the lost information, including back catalogues, could be retrieved.


In the meantime I have just bought an almost roadworthy, Front disc braked E4, with Bomber Forks which is funny because I have this irrational urge to put PACE Forks on it !

Just been chucking my Pace RC38 LTs down a mountain near Samoens - bolted to a full suss Orange of course.
Oranges & Pace forks - kinda go together like..... strawberries & cream

Sorry, belay that.
Seems like I was talking out of my Bottom Bracket !
Seems (from one website) that Orange fitted the Manitou SX-R fork as Standard to the E4.
'Googling' another (Enduro) website for SX-R overhaul, clearly shows DISC fitted but stubs for V-Brake spindles, as an option.
Catalogue for the year of the E4 mentions 'frame run of hydraulic hose'

But deffo no lugs on frame for Rear Disc.

Discs on an Orange HT is a good thing.

I "might" have a Man-of-Poo SXR in my collection

Hope your alpine trip was all good, glad to hear you're back in one piece, Carge!

up until 2010 ?? the orange site allowed you to access a library of old catalogues and pages which was very helpful. sadly they disappered.

myself i've an evo2 and its a great bike.

No, the 2001 E-six was the first of their Easton frames to have disc mounts.

Terminator's frame is a 2000, the last year of E4s, and that has no disc mounts as we can see. The hydraulic cable guides were for Magura rim brakes.
