OVERVIEW

The Ariel 162 is our devotion to Gravity. Top of the range Fox Kashima coated suspension, with Factory CTD Remote Fit damped forks and rear shock with custom TRL tune, gives the 162 suspension performance second to none. We have upgraded the drive train to a full 1x10speed setup using Shimano’s new Zee groupset, keeping the chain spinning with an LG1 chain guide. A Kind-Shock remote dropper Seatpost allows you to climb up the hills comfortably, yet press down and point down for the most fun times aloud on a bicycle!
