To be fair, the main reason they won races were because they had the best riders on board.
The riders that won on Orange bikes also won on most of the other bikes they ever rode too.
Steve Peat is one of the most naturally gifted riders ever...he won the national champs on a fully rigid Kona explosive with a 1.5" hardpack on the front when fellow competitors were on full suss frames with rock shox forks.
A good rider is a good rider.
