Review: 2021 Saracen Ariel 80 - A Sturdy, Pedalable Park Bike

Mar 2021 · Seb Stott

Did someone say freeride? The new Saracen 80 rolls on 27.5" wheels and has 180mm of travel.

Highs
  • Rear suspension is supple and predictable, allowing you to look further ahead and ride faster

  • Very well priced for the kit and performance on offer

Lows
  • Could use a lockout on the climbs

  • Still no room for a water bottle
