OVERVIEW

The Ariel 143 is our flagship model, designed to be a no compromise trail king! Top of the range Fox Kashima coated suspension, with Factory CTD Remote Fit damped forks and rear shock with custom TRL tune, gives the 143 suspension performance second to none. We fitted a Kind-Shock remote dropper Seatpost with 125mm of travel adjust, to insure every moment of riding either up or down is enjoyed to the maximum. A 2x10 speed Shimano SLX drivetrain gives the bike a higher ground clearance, yet enough range to concur everything. The 143 is perfect for the rider who wants everything just so, no upgrades needed just pure riding pleasure at your fingertips.
