Quick question – will the price-point model have a screw-through / bolt-through fork on it? I’m a pretty big guy and that’s a must for me.

cheers, Alex

p.s. Really like the work you guys are doing, if it had been out a year earlier would definately have got a Zen rather than a Hoss.

Hey Alex – the OPP model comes with 9mm Q/R front and rear. The Ariel 2 comes with bolt thru front rear at £2099.

I rode the Ariel 1 at Cwm Carn and it all felt pretty stiff.

Cheers
