Ariel 80 Size Guide
What Size Saracen Ariel 80 Do I Need?
The Saracen Ariel 80 is a dedicated park bike built for big jumps, technical descents and full days of riding laps. 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 80 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 and preferred riding style can also influence which size feels best.
How Does the Saracen Ariel 80 Fit?
The Ariel 80 has a gravity-focused design, with 180mm of suspension front and rear to handle rough trails, big hits and demanding bike park lines. Its 27.5-inch wheels give it a playful, agile feel, making it well suited to riders who enjoy popping off jumps, carving berms and moving the bike around on the trail.
Think about how you want the bike to feel as well as what the size chart recommends. A more compact fit can make it easier to manoeuvre the bike, while a larger frame offers more room to move and can feel more stable at speed.
What If I'm Between Ariel 80 Sizes?
If you're between two sizes, consider the type of riding you do most. A smaller Ariel 80 may suit you if you prioritise a playful feel, quick direction changes and moving the bike around in the air. A larger size may be preferable if you want more room in the cockpit and greater stability on fast, rough descents.
