Min-Max: Arden's Aluminum RSD Middlechild

Mar 2023

Steel may be real, but aluminum is actual, and so are the savings in suspension and drivetrain maintenance on Arden's #1FG RSD Bikes Middlechild.

Highs

  • Bontrager Line Comp 40 wheels with 40mm internal width and upgradeable 108-point engagement

  • Non ServoWave master cylinders work well with Magura 4-piston calipers

  • Wolf Tooth ReMote from scratch-and-dent section offers light action

  • ODI Long Necks XSoft push-on grips are genuinely glorious
