Samenvatting

The Saracen Ariel series, spanning from trail to enduro models, is praised for its versatile performance, offering a mix of speed, stability, and supple suspension across different terrains. While the bikes excel in descending and provide great value for their kit, some models face criticism for their weight, seat tube length, and handling in tight turns. The Ariel's suspension, particularly in higher-end models, is highlighted for its neutral character and tuning potential, though some riders may find the coil shock setup limiting.

Pros
  • Supple and predictable rear suspension

  • Excellent value for the kit and performance

  • Versatile geometry suitable for a range of riding styles

  • Adjustable wheel size options with supplied linkages

  • Rock-solid frame with neutral suspension character

Cons
  • Overlong seat tube on larger sizes

  • Heavy for the price in some models

  • Fragile EXO tires

  • Requires greater body movements to maneuver in tight turns

  • Coil shock setup may not suit all rider weights

Key Quotes
A flagship fork and top-quality rear damper offering next-level tuning potential of an already sorted suspension system, plus super long reach and a rock-solid feeling frame potentially make the Ariel 60 Elite a straight-line plow for demolishing almost any trail problem.

The Ariel 30 is a brand-new trail bike from the UK brand, and with 130mm of travel at either end it sits in that trail-bike sweet spot.

Saracen Ariel 30 Pro review

apr 2021 · Tom Marvin

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

Hoogtepunten
  • 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

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

  • Sorted angles

  • Rock-solid frame

  • Excellent value kit

  • Wheel switch links included

Dieptepunten

  • Short dropper

  • Pro is better for practical value

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

mrt 2021 · Seb Stott

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

Hoogtepunten
  • 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

Dieptepunten
  • Could use a lockout on the climbs

  • Still no room for a water bottle

Review: 2021 Saracen Ariel 30

mrt 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

Hoogtepunten
  • 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

Dieptepunten
  • 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.
