Ariel 60 Size Guide
What Size Saracen Ariel 60 Do I Need?
The Saracen Ariel 60 is a full-suspension enduro bike built for technical trails, big descents and all-day adventures in the mountains. Choosing the right size starts with your height, but your riding style and how you want the bike to handle are also important.
Saracen Ariel 60 Size Guide
| Size | Rider height |
|---|---|
| Small | 154–172cm |
| Medium | 170–180cm |
| Large | 178–186cm |
| X-Large | 184–196cm |
These measurements are a starting point rather than a hard rule. Your proportions, riding style and preferred handling can all influence which size feels best.
How Does the Saracen Ariel 60 Fit?
The Ariel 60 has 160mm of front and rear suspension, giving it the travel to tackle steep, technical descents while remaining capable on the climbs. Its enduro-focused geometry is designed to balance efficient pedalling with confidence when the trail gets rough.
Wheel size also varies by frame size. Small and Medium models use a 29-inch front wheel and 27.5-inch rear wheel, while Large and X-Large models come with 29-inch wheels front and rear. Each bike includes an additional linkage option to allow a compatible rear wheel setup to be changed.
What If I'm Between Ariel 60 Sizes?
If you're between sizes, think about the trails you ride most often and how you want the bike to feel. A smaller Ariel 60 can feel more agile and easier to manoeuvre on tight, technical trails, while a larger frame can offer more room and greater stability on fast descents. Saracen's general guidance suggests that a slightly larger frame may suit aggressive enduro riding, particularly if you value stability at speed.
