Well i dont think they're that good..You could get better for the money..
Like Stomp or Demon..

www.stompracing.co.uk (http://www.stompracing.co.uk) for stomps

www.pit-bike-world.co.uk (http://www.pit-bike-world.co.uk) for demons

They look good on the site and on paper, mainly due to the larger plastics and the frames.

However the rest of the bike is standard stuff.

The frames are unknown here mainly due to lack of sales and exposure in the market.

The frames may be superb.....then again they may not.....we don't know.

Buy one and tell us......lol.

Do you want a rare bike of unknown reliability or do you want an established UK bike......its up to you.

Who are the Uk retailer....is it ukquadandpitbikes?

Don't buy on preorder if it is!

Personal I'd buy the usual recommended bikes

Stomp
Demon
Monster
Trickstar
Akuma
etc

Arn't Orion and Akuma just the same bikes under different names?

after looking at thier web page the bike looks o.k but how easy to get parts etc .i'd stick to the more proven makes personally. good luck :thumbs:

Yes atticus some of the orions are the same as the Akumas.....but the orion OPB 5XR has an unusual alloy perimeter type frame.

As I said its an unknown frame as Akuma dont touch that bike version.

Who are the recognised established sellers of Orions these days.....they tend to be hit and run sellers on ebay.

hehe:p

yer what haveagode said

top notch bikes there

im a moderator on the fourm and any qs (if haveagode isnt on) ask me :thumbs:

[haveagoade]

hehe:p

I don't wanna knock the orions at all, I just need to point out that you must take into account the sellers of the bikes, are they established, or do they just import a container at Christmas and knock them out on ebay.

Mypurerush and Akuma are an established company that sell these Orion type bikes, but interestingly dont sell a version like the one in the post......I wonder why?


I don't know everything about pits ....lol ...and I still haven't manage to find a UK retailer for this bike yet?

Ya welll im actually from the USA and they are located in california i think it is.
