Samenvatting

The Alchemy Arktos is a versatile enduro bike praised for its unique Sine suspension design, offering small-bump compliance and a supportive mid-stroke. Its modular frame allows for various travel configurations and wheel sizes, making it adaptable to different riding styles. While it excels in descending and handling rough terrain, some reviews note a less efficient climbing performance due to its suspension design.

Pros
  • Unique Sine suspension design for optimal small-bump compliance and mid-stroke support

  • Modular frame adaptable to various travel configurations and wheel sizes

  • Versatile performance suitable for a wide range of riding styles

  • High-quality build kits with premium components

  • Excellent descending capabilities and stability at speed

Cons
  • Less efficient climbing performance due to suspension design

  • Some models may require initial setup adjustments

aug 2022 · Chris Armstrong

It was time.  Time for a new bike.

  • Frame can accommodate a full-size water bottle

  • Convertible between mixed wheel and different travel lengths

  • Super Boost Plus rear end provides stiffer and more stable feel

  • Industry Nine wheels are impressive, light (1900g), and have fast engagement

  • Bike rides longer than its travel, feels capable compared to 160mm+ bikes

Dieptepunten

The Alchemy Arktos 120 Rides Like a Bigger Bike, Because it Can Be [Review]

jun 2022 · Jeff Barber

The Alchemy Arktos 120 stands out among the crowded field of trail bikes thanks to its ability to chameleon between short-travel, trail, and all-mountain with a single frame, and the Sine Suspension System that places a premium on anti-squat while delivering a supple ride feel.

Hoogtepunten
  • Supple and responsive suspension

  • Sine Suspension System pedals and climbs well

  • Can swap fork and shock for longer travel

  • Looks great

Dieptepunten
  • Taller riders may have a hard time finding the right fit

  • Not ideal for very tight and technical trails

  • High entry-level price

Review: Alchemy Arktos 150

mei 2022 · Alex Sardella

The Alchemy Arktos 150 is amongst one of the more versatile offerings out there with multiple travel options and a mixed wheel option.

Hoogtepunten
  • Loves speed, gets there quick

  • Stable and calm suspension platform

  • 3 travel options in 1 frame

  • MX option if you’re into that

  • Competitive spec

Dieptepunten
  • Heavier than some

  • Would prefer Carbon rims on the highest end spec

  • Loose bolts and BB

[Tested] Alchemy Arktos 150 MX

dec 2021 · Ian Collins

It’s been quite some time since I’ve tested a bike with somewhat unconventional suspension kinematics. Enter the Alchemy Arktos 150 –  in this case, the Arktos 150 MX. It has a mullet wheel setup and 170mm front travel paired with 150mm of rear travel. Utilizing “Sine” suspension – aptly named after a sine wave, the bike has a rate that runs regressive to progressive, then regressive again. That right there is the unconventional part, but more on the topic of kinematics later. Something that’s interesting about the Arktos lineup is just how neatly spread across the travel/duty spectrum it is.
