What's the difference? Is the diva just a small five for girls or kids??

Would imagine a shorter tt, air forks, smaller grips, shorter cranks, lots of flowers obviously.

The 2013 Diva in long is identical to a 2013 14", whilst short is shorter. The 2014 is identical to an XS or S Five.

Are they women specific? Thinking about one for my son as his first full suss bike but he wouldn't want pink or flowers!

I was only joking! Reckon Orange would be the only company not to use flowers. 😀

As far as I can see the Diva is a hardtail and there is no such bike as a Five Diva.

The Diva has a womens specific saddle and more than likely every thing is slightly shorter to suit a female rider.

Funny looking hardtail with that pivot in the middle.

Hey Toomba,

My wife is 5'3" and we tried a Five Diva back in 2011 and it was too short. However, Orange made us a one-off Five with a 2005 front triangle (in 'extra-small'), and a 2011 rear swingarm. Perfect sizing - and VERY green!

Swinley is our local trail centre, if you're around the area you're more than welcome to come and try it out for size. Nic has just bought a Bird Aeris so might be tempted to part with the Five 😉

Laterally stiff but vertically compliant?

Thanks for the offer uberscott but we are North of the border.
Orange bikes have made a good job of sorting you out a small Five!
