2018 Saracen Ariel Elite

Season:2018

Brand:Saracen

Code:VARRN2323

The Ariel Elite is a no-nonsense bike ready to rock! Using the same geometry as the Ariel LT, Saracen have brought the price down by using a custom butted 6013 alloy front triangle whilst still retaining the stiff, light and strong Toray UD carbon swingarm. With 170mm fork and 165mm of rear travel, it's the perfect privateers race weapon or a bike for any rider looking to crush any trail in their path, no mater how rowdy it gets! It's not all about the downhill performance though, the Ariel is a composed and capable climber. 

A well chosen mix of Shimano Slx and XT 11-speed drivetrain ensures you never skip a beat on the trail, and a 170mm Rockshox Yari fork together with the superb Fox Float DPX2 shock allow you to charge through the trail at whatever pace you choose. WTB Vigilante tyres and Saracen's own well designed finishing kit complete this stellar build. 

Go shred!
