Ariel 143
£2999.99
OVERVIEW
The Ariel 143 is our flagship model, designed to be a no compromise trail king.
Top of the range Fox Kashima coated suspension, tuned specifically for our TRL linkage System, gives the 143 suspension performance second to none. We fitted a Kind-Shock remote dropper seatpost with 125mm of travel to ensure every moment of riding either up or down is enjoyed to the maximum. A 2 x10 speed Shimano XT drivetrain gives the bike a higher ground clearance, yet enough range to conquer everything.
The 143 is perfect for the rider who wants everything, no upgrades needed just pure riding pleasure on any trail.
