Built for Downhill
If you fancy showing off your skills at the bike park, this is the perfect bike to show just what you can do! Ready to thrive at every UK centre or even the Alps.
Let's get loose.
If you live for laps, destroy rear tyres and always send it sideways, you're going to want the Ariel 80.
Fun first and 27.5 for life, our take on a park bike is designed to thrive at every UK centre and even the Alps.
This thing loves to pop off lips, swing sideward and flick through trees. The bigger the grin on your face, the harder the Ariel 80 is going to work to keep it there.
Our all-new, custom-butted and hydroformed 6013 aluminium frame has been put to the test by bottom-out king Matt Walker and survived to make it into production.
Every millimetre of the 180mm of travel is designed to work hard, whether that's taking out rock chatter and braking bumps, sending the jump line or holding on for traction in loose turns.
The 80 Pro gets the perfect spec sheet for hard charging out on the trails. A Fox DHX2 Performance shock is matched to the Fox 38 Performance Elite fork, providing every adjustment you need and some you'll have to ask Jordi about to understand.
The latest Shimano SLX provides shifting, with an XT rear mech coving the 11-51 wide range cassette. Four-pot Deore brakes bring extra stopping power to the party.
The DT Swiss E532 rims are enduro ready, with a 30mm internal providing plenty for the 2.4 Maxxis Minion DHRII tyres to fill out onto. Both are tubeless ready - just add tape, valves and sealant.
A RaceFace 35mm finishing kit and dropper post from KS complete a spec sheet that has no weakness - and that's without mentioning the small details.
There's internal routing for everything - including a dropper post, superboost spacing for additional clearance and big bearings which last longer and are commonly available should you need to refresh them.
Just don't try and stick a 29er fork up front. You'll set off our inbuilt safety device that'll alert everyone on PinkBike to the crimes you're committing.

The Ariel 80 Pro was put through thorough real-life testing by bottom-out king and Saracen Downhill Team Rider, Matt Walker.
Suspension designed to work hard. The Ariel 80 Pro has a Fox DHX2 Performance shock, matched to the Fox 38 Performance Elite fork, providing every adjustment you need.
