The Saracen Ariel 80

Encompassing Ariel 80 Pro & Ariel 80 - £3,499.99 / £2,599.99

One step removed from the Myst, if you’re aspiring to be crowned king of the bike park, then the Ariel 80 Pro is the perfect bike to show everyone just how hard you’re living the sideways life. The build for both Ariel 80 models includes an all-new custom-butted and hydroformed 6013 aluminium frame that’s been put through the hardest landings and survived to make it into production, full internal cable routing, a dropper post and superboost axle spacing for additional strength, clearance, and ride responsiveness.

Saracen Ariel 30

Encompassing Ariel 30 Pro & Ariel 30 - £3,299.99 / £2,499.99

Designed and developed with the help of Matt Walker from the Madison Saracen Factory Racing Team, the Ariel 30 (like the rest of the range) has been put through the wringer and been built to last and go fast.

Every Ariel 30 features size specific wheels, with small and medium bikes delivered with a 29/27.5 ‘mullet’ setup, and the large and extra-large sizes coming as 29er models. That can be interchanged to fit your riding needs best. The Pro model cuts weight and adds performance across every key component, and Shimano’s latest SLX shifting gives a huge 10-51 range for grinding up the steepest of slopes.

Amplitude

Encompassing Amplitude CR3 / AL Team & CR2 - £949.99 / £949.99 / £599.99

Dirt jumping is all about style, and what better way to turn heads than to ride a bike that grabs attention before it even takes to the air? Day-long sessions at the local trails or road trips someplace new, each Amplitude model is ready to send it right out of the box.

Saracen’s proven dirt jump geometry is predictable and playful any time there is a lip in sight - and if you misjudge the landing, there’s no need to worry as the frame and front suspension can soak it all up.
