A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Riassunto

The Saracen Ariel is a mixed bag in the enduro category, offering a playful and fun ride with good geometry and suspension performance, but it's not without its flaws. The bike shines in descents with its stable and balanced handling, yet it struggles with climbing efficiency and some build quality issues.

Pros
  • Good geometry and riding position

  • Playful character and fun to ride

  • Stable and balanced at speeds

  • Supple suspension with sensitive feel

  • Rear wheel traction is excellent

Cons
  • Internal cables rattle incessantly

  • Rear suspension lacks midstroke support

  • Not the sprightliest climber

  • Fork requires more pressure than recommended

  • Excess feedback through the frame in rough conditions

Key Quotes
Saracen has all the makings of a good enduro bike in the Ariel Elite.
MBR logoMBR
The new Ariel has dramatically different vital stats to its predecessor, but Saracen has retained the playful character that made the original bike so much fun to ride.
MBR logoMBR
It screams gravity from top to bottom of the hill.

A real hoot to chuck into chunky terrain and wait for the suspension to smooth out the ride.

apr 2021 · Tom Marvin

A great bike for all-day adventures and picking your way down steep tech

Pro
  • If you like ‘long’ geometry, you’ll love the Ariel 30

  • Pedalling efficiency and snappiness is great between corners

  • Well-thought-out kit provides great value for money

Contro
  • Back end doesn’t quite smooth the ride as much on the fastest, roughest tracks

Saracen Ariel 60 Elite review

mar 2021 · Guy Kesteven

Saracen’s new flagship enduro bike has top-spec and World Cup DH DNA but does that show through on the trail?

  • World Cup proven suspension

  • Speed happy reach

  • Sorted angles

  • Rock-solid frame

  • Excellent value kit

  • Wheel switch links included

Contro
  • Precarious ride height

  • Overlong seat tube on large

  • Fragile EXO tires

  • Heavy for price

  • The coil is rider weight-specific

  • Short dropper

  • Pro is better for practical value

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.

Pro
  • 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

Contro
  • Could use a lockout on the climbs

  • Still no room for a water bottle

Saracen Ariel Elite Review

apr 2018

The Ariel Elite is Saracen's answer to the aluminium aggressive enduro bike question and with 165mm of travel from a suspension design similar to the brand's downhill bike, the Myst, it screams gravity from top to bottom of the hill. Review - Rocky Mountain Altitude Alloy 30 The best waterproof shorts you can buy We’ve already had a ride on the 2018 Ariel at Revolution Bike Park earlier this year and were eager to get back aboard the enduro sled for some more action. The alloy version of the Ariel has been in our shed for a couple of months now and has seen plenty of trail time.
