Specialized Ariel review

Nov 2016 · Aoife Glass

Practical all-round bike that’s great for mixing commuting and leisure rides, though a touch short.

Flow Mountain Bike
Tested: Specialized Women’s Ariel and Jett Saddles

May 2014

From in-store body measurements, to saddle selection, to the trails; testing two popular women’s saddles from Specialized extends far beyond picking a model off the shelf. There’s no right answer when it comes to blindly recommending someone a saddle. A product one person swears by, may just make another person swear. Specialized take the angst …

Highs
  • Designs optimised for different width pelvic bones, riding styles and riding positions

  • Retail staff trained to expertly match saddles to riders

  • Test program allows customers to try before they buy

Lows
  • Baggy shorts or hydration pack straps can catch on V-shaped cut out at the rear of the saddles on very steep, technical terrain.
