Ariel 162
£2999.99
OVERVIEW
Joining our 140mm Ariel is the new 160mm variant. Developed from the emergence of DH style Enduro racing, the Ariel 160 uses our TRL suspension platform. The 160 takes all its descending characteristics from its smaller brother. It has been built with a slightly burlier rear triangle and slacker head angle to cope with everything thrown it’s way. The 160 allows the rider to push hard on the climbs yet destroy the descents.
Fast, Accurate and Focused. Dedicated 1 x 10 drive and the finest fork and rear shock from Fox to enhance our TRL system.
The 162 takes no prisoners. The only disadvantage to a bike this fast is picking the dead flies from the back of your eyeballs.
