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

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?

Pro
  • Awesome fork

  • 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

Review: 2021 Saracen Ariel 30

mar 2021 · Chipps

The Saracen Ariel 30 is an entry-level monster of a trail bike. 130mm of travel and a whole load of modern attitude

Pro
  • The feeling of invincibility on descents – on a 130mm bike!

  • The Ariel is a quiet, simple bike that just gets on with things

  • The potential to mullet or un-mullet your bike in the future to see if you like it

Contro
  • 35mm bar/stem seems to add girth but stops you running a super short stem. And a 760mm bar will be too narrow for some riders. I’d prefer a 35mm stem and 31.8 x 780mm bars. (The model up has 820mm bars!)

  • Easy to knock the shock lever while getting a waterbottle out of its cage

  • Why is the seat tube so tall? A shorter mast and longer dropper would please more riders

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.

Saracen Ariel LT review

set 2017 · Ed Thomsett

If all-out downhill capability is your top priority for a trail bike the Saracen’s new Ariel should definitely be on your list. Buy if you value pure gravity performance over shiny componentry

Pro
  • Geometry that’s bang on the money and adjustable, excellent suspension performance

Contro
  • A little sluggish on the ups
