Trail
Real off road bikes for real off road riding!
"UK brand Saracen were among the first to develop a mainstream range of long forked cross country hardtails. The Mantra range has seen an evolution of the original idea to the point where the geometry and consequent handling of the Mantras effectively sets the industry standard for this type of bike.â€

All Mountain
Second Coming. Time flies. This is the fourth season of our Ariel UK trail bike. The Ariel’s mature for 2013 with spec improvements on all models making them even more fun to ride. The addition of 6066 alloy tubing has shaved us a few grams in the frame but more importantly made the frames more bombproof.

Trail
Our classic trail bikes redefined.Kili is all new for 2013. Taking our Kili XC/trail pedigree and bringing it bang up-to-date with big wheels. 29ners are here to stay and we give you the choice to embrace. Our platform is not a me-too off-the-shelf number package but our interpretation of a fast xc/trail bike. Is it the future as many tout? We’re convinced it has a role to play but we’ll leave you to make up your own mind. We run ours at 100mm so by conventional thought, the ride feels like 120mm bike and the head angle is relatively slack but ideal for UK trails.
Downhill
Evolution through competition. Racing has always been the motivation for the Myst. We offer no marketing BS. What you can buy in your local dealer is the same found on the World Cup circuit. For 2013 we take a bold step forward with the addition of a UD carbon fibre rear triangle. The ultimate material for strength and weight but only when used in the right applications. We chose the rear triangle to reduce un-sprung weight, further improving the responsive TRL suspension. Through extensive testing we have managed to remove almost 400gms from the rear triangle while maintaining stiffness and increase strength. The Myst is about to become a classic rig.
Bmx
Paul King continues to bust out the sweetest technical moves on 20â€.Our BMX range has 2 new models at opposite ends of the spectrum. The Destination is pro level park/street bike that can kick it with the big boys but leave plenty of cashola for road tripping. The Source is a proper 18†BMX to match the excitement and commitment of youngsters who can’t quite make it onto a 20†bike. 25x9t drive features on all our BMX’s for the coming season along with sealed cartridge MID BB’s.
Dirt Jump
Our Amplitude category continuous to evolve into its own entity. We’ve hired all round good guy Blake Samson to fly the flag for our 26†bikes. Our 26†CR series evolve with subtle geo tweaks and slick new paintjobs, and to compliment the alloy ALX frame we are offering a CRX, 4130 frame option. Ass-kickingly good for 2013.
