Our flagship enduro bike, the Saracen Ariel 60 has been built to take on the wildest wilderness epics, bikepark laps and can of course get competitive between the tapes. At the heart of the all-new 160mm suspension platform is our series 3 custom-butted and hydroformed 6013 aluminium frame. Matched to the Fox Float X2 Factory shock with Kashima Coat sets out this bike's intentions.
It's enduro-ready and while we might not have an EWS race team, we do have Matt Walker from the Madison Saracen Factory Racing Team. Some say he is attracted to flat landings, and has a disregard for bottoming-out shocks. That made him the perfect candidate to test our new 160mm bike to its limit, and beyond. With this in mind we instructed him to ride it like his Myst, with one small catch, he'd be needing to pedal back up the hill.
Now it's Matt's favourite bike to jump on, with a steep seattube and efficient suspension design helping on the way up. On the way back down, it's a riot. It's also easy to get the right fit on an Ariel 60. That's because it features size specific wheels, with small and medium bikes in the 29/27.5 mullet setup, and the large and extra-large sizes 29er models. But what if you change your mind faster than the bike industry about which wheelsize is best?
We thought of that already. Whichever Ariel 60 you choose, we've included additional push links, that you can swap out and see if the grass really is greener. All you'll need is the right size rear wheel. When it comes to the details, there is internal routing for everything - including a dropper post - room for a 550ml bottle, superboost spacing for additional clearance and big bearings which last longer and are commonly available should you need to refresh them.
If it’s fit for Matt Walker from the Madison Saracen Factory Team - it’s fit for you.
This helps on way up, whilst making for a riot on the way down.
Order today and get ready to ride.
